| Clock/Timing Products |
 |
Pericom leads the clock/timing market with a
comprehensive portfolio of Pericom® silicon-based and SaRonix™
quartz-based solutions from one company. The clock/timing requirements
in STB platforms are divided into two major categories: free-running
(asynchronous mode) and frequency-modulated (synchronous mode).

frequency-modulated applications:

| Video Switching Products |
|
Pericom offers a wide variety of video switches
for the switching of RGB & YpbPr single ended, or high-speed
differential switching. These products provide very low RON (<5Ω),
CON (<7pF), high speed (>1.65Gbps), 5V/3V, small packages, excellent
cross-talk and off-isolation features, which optimizes system
performance for SD and HD signal management.

| USB & BUS Switching Products |
|
Pericom was the world's first company to
offer the USB switch that is able to meet USB2.0 high-speed spec.
These solutions provide customers with a cost-effective method for
expanding the number of USB hosts by enabling front side to backside
interface without additional PHYs. Pericom's USB Switch products
also support backwards compatibility with USB1.1.
Pericom USB Switch products allow multiple
USB connectors (e.g. front panel & back panel). Pericom BUS Switch
products allow voltage protection and level management as well
as Hot-Plug capabilities:
|
| PCI Bridge Products |
|
Pericom offers a broad portfolio of PCI
Bridge products featuring both industry-compatible functions as
well as proprietary value-add functions that enhance overall system
performance. A PCI Bridge may be used to expand the number of
PCI loads on the BUS beyond the standard maximum of four (4).
For PCI-based platforms, Pericom's Bridge products enable a smooth
migration path for expanding the STB's features/functions, including
DVR, Smart Cards, and data services (Ethernet, 802.11 WiFi, IEEE 1394,
USB), and PVR connections (e.g. digital cameras & camcorders).
Value-add features of Pericom's PCI Bridge products include Dynamic
Prefetching Control, Asynchronous mode support, high bandwidth, and
small form factor.
Pericom PCI Bridge products expand the maximum number of PCI loads:
