DESCRIPTION
The HD3SS3412 is a high-speed passive switch capable of switching four differential channels, including
applications such as two full PCI Express x1 lanes from one source to one of two target locations in a PC/server
application. With its bidirectional capability the HD3SS3412 also supports applications that allow connections
between one target and two source devices, such as a shared peripheral between two platforms. The
HD3SS3412 has a single control line (SEL pin) which can be used to control the signal path between Port A and
either Port B or Port C.
The HD3SS3412 is offered in an industry standard 42-pin QFN package available in a common footprint shared
by several other vendors. The device is specified to operate from a single supply voltage of 3.3 V over the full
temperature range of 0°C to 70ºC.
The HD3SS3412 is a generic 4-CH high speed MUX/de-MUX type of switch that can be used for routing high-
speed signals between two different locations on a circuit board. Although it was designed specifically to address
PCI Express Gen III applications, the HD3SS3412 will also support several other high-speed data protocols with
a differential amplitude of <1800 mVpp and a common mode voltage of <2.0 V, as with USB 3.0 and DisplayPort
1.2. The device’s one select input (SEL) pin can easily be controlled by an available GPIO pin within a system or
from a micro-controller.
