Today’s competitive environment creates
a constant need for higher performance.
One common method to optimize system
performance involves the use of FET
switches (also referred to as signal
switches) to provide a high-speed bidirectional
bus interface between DSPs,
CPUs, industry standard buses, memory
and peripherals. The Texas Instruments
(TI) signal switch product portfolio consists
of digital switches, analog switches
and specialty switches that provide highperformance,
low-power replacements
for standard bus-interface devices when
signal buffering (current drive) is not
required. Availability in advanced packaging
(BGA, QFN and WCSP) also allows TI
signal switches to occupy reduced board
area in space-constrained applications. TI
signal switches optimize next-generation
datacom, networking, computing,
portable communications and consumer
electronic designs by supporting both
digital and analog applications.
