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.
