Diodes Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of its innovative PI3USB31532 USB 3.1 Gen 2 / DisplayPort 1.4 Type-C Cross-Converter, which competed in the highly competitive logic / interface / memory category of the ACE Awards.
Diodes was nominated for the award primarily due to the introduction of the USB 3.1 Gen 2 converter, which is leading most of the semiconductor manufacturers, as an alternative to mode switching to share non-USB data over USB. This feature is expected to be the mainstream specification for emerging consumer devices that enable multi-tasking of DisplayPort and USB signals over the same connector and cable, and may even be synchronized to power, creating a true "single port" paradigm.
Andy Tsong, Diodes' Division Manager of Precision Frequency and Online Products, said: "We are pleased to see the company's innovation and expertise recognized for its prestigious awards and the dedication and contributions engineers have made in developing the devices."
