Diodes Incorporated: Timing, Switching, & Signal Conditioning Products
Your source for Embedded System components that go around the processor
The fast-growing embedded market is one of the most diverse in terms of end applications. Embedded systems include traditional general-purpose “embedded CPU” platforms such as medical, robotics, industrial control, and data acquisition applications—as well as video surveillance, automotive, point-of-sale, and other more specialized applications. We offer a wide variety of supporting products for all of these sub-segment platforms.
These range from specialized timing products like processor-specific XOs and clocks; bridges that connect the latest PCIe-based embedded processor families; and legacy protocols such as PCI-X, PCI, USB, UART, and more.
In fact, our timing, switching, and signal conditioning products are already used in most embedded platform applications with the most popular embedded processors.
Embedded Systems
Embedded processors can include CPU chipsets from major CPU vendors, SOC, and FPGA from major vendors which are used across all embedded segments. As an example, the FPGA-Diodes Incorporated block diagram illustrates the many I/O, power management, and timing functions that we can provide.

Clock Buffers
PI6C49X02xx
Our portfolio of single-ended clock buffers covers LVCMOS and LVTTL buffers with up to 10 outputs. We support a wide range of power supplies from 1.2V to 3.3V, and both industrial grade and automotive grade for selected parts.
Their low additive jitter and low skew characteristics make them ideal for clock distribution applications with demanding performance requirements.
Bridges (PCle / PCI)
PCIe-to-PCI / PCIX Bridge product capable of Forward or Reverse bridging are offered by Diodes. “Forward” (PCIe-to-PCI/PCIX) mode provides an effective turn-key bridging solution between PCI Express Host on the primary side and PCI/PCIX Peripheral Devices as the secondary interface. The “Reverse” (PCI / PCIX-to-PCIe) mode offers the Reverse Bridging capability, proven effective in bridging new PCI Express End Point Devices to legacy PCI Host CPUs with minimal impact to existing PCI Hardware/Software investment.
PI7C9X440SL
PCIe-to-USB 2.0 Host Controller
The PI7C9X440SL provides one x1 upstream PCIe port and up to 4 USB 2.0 host controller ports. This controller provides users the flexibility to expand system connectivity from a wide range of I/O Bridges such as IOH, PCH, embedded MCU, SoC and other Application Specific ICs.
PI2DBS32212
2:1 Mux/De-Mux Switch
The PI2DBS32212 allows high-speed switching with minimum attenuation to the signal and is suitable for multiple signal types including PCIe 5.0, USB 3.0/3.1, USB 3.2 Gen 1x1/Gen 2x1, USB4 Gen 2x1/Gen 3x1, 10GE, Thunderbolt 3, SAS3.0 and CXL1.0 signals.
HDMI, DisplayPort, and MIPI
The ReDriver ICs, also known as repeater IC, regenerate signals to boost the signal quality of high-speed interfaces. Faster signal frequencies leave designers with less signal margin with which to design reliable, high-performance systems. Using ReDrivers which have equalization, pre-emphasis, and other technologies that can adjust and correct for known channel losses at the transmitter and restore signal integrity at the receiver. This results in an eye pattern at the receiver with the margins required to deliver reliable communications with low bit error rates (BER).
