Board Buses & Level Translation
Buffer, multiplex, and translate board buses such as I²C, I³C, and SPI.
Signal Interconnect
Interface transceivers, industrial bus devices, and high-speed interconnect ICs for reliable communications and data connectivity across automotive, industrial, AI server, and data center applications.
Product Range
Buffer, multiplex, and translate board buses such as I²C, I³C, and SPI.
Provide the physical-layer connection between controllers and CAN/CAN FD or LIN networks.
Translate controller serial signals to the electrical levels used by their corresponding cabled links.
Carry digital signals or bus data across an electrical isolation barrier.
Cover USB data paths, Type-C attachment and orientation detection, and USB PD negotiation.
PHYs connect a MAC to the physical medium; switches forward traffic among Ethernet ports.
Paired serializers and deserializers carry high-speed data in camera, display, and similar systems.
Condition or retime high-speed links such as PCIe/CXL to maintain signal integrity across board channels.
Expand PCIe connectivity between a host and multiple endpoints.
Applications & Selection
Check PCIe generation, lane count, and switching topology. Evaluate board or backplane channel loss to determine whether retiming is needed; for CXL, verify protocol support across the complete link.
Select the physical-layer device for the CAN, CAN FD, or LIN network, then check controller compatibility, sleep and wake behavior, EMC requirements, and operating temperature.
Use cable length, node count, and common-mode conditions to determine data rate and termination. For links crossing electrical domains, verify isolation and surge protection requirements.
Check the host MAC interface, transmission medium, port count, and speed. Where time synchronization or TSN is required, verify support across the complete network path.
Confirm host or device role and required data rate first. Add PD capability where power negotiation is needed, and check plug orientation detection and port protection.
Pair devices according to camera or display interface, video bandwidth, and cable requirements. Verify protocol generation, connectors, diagnostics, and EMC performance.
