Crosspoint switches run up to 4.25Gbit/s

Four-by-four and two-by-two switches combine high speed, low power and low jitter performance for applications such as XAUI signal buffering/muxing.

Texas Instruments has introduced two new crosspoint switches supporting datarates up to 4.25Gbit/s.

The four-by-four and two-by-two switches provide an exceptional combination of high speed, low power and low jitter performance for applications such as XAUI signal buffering/muxing, backplane redundancy and high-speed network routing in end equipment such as wireless basestations and IP network routers.

The SN65LVCP404 and SN65LVCP402's ability to function as either a crosspoint switch or buffer will give designers the flexibility to use the devices in a wide variety of applications in the mass market.

The addition of the SN65LVCP404 and SN65LVCP402 crosspoint switches complement TI's broad interface product offering including families of products for M-LVDS, LVDS, PECL, RS-485, PCI-Express, gigabit Ethernet serialiser/deserialisers and additional crosspoint switches.

The SN65LVCP404 (4x4) and SN65LVCP402 (2x2) are available now in 48-pin and 24-pin quad flat no lead (QFN) lead-free packages and are priced at US $9.85 and $6.65, respectively, each in 1000-piece quantities.
