NXP Delivers Industry’s First 10 Gbps CMOS Multiplexer/Demultiplexer Switch

The CBTL02043 can switch two differential signals to one of two locations, while providing low signal attenuation. Using NXP’s high-bandwidth CMOS pass-gate technology, the 2:1 mux/demux switch minimizes switch impedance and allows for expansion of existing high-speed ports, contributing to higher bandwidth and lower insertion loss. Providing minimized channel-to-channel skew and crosstalk, the CBTL02043 is delivered in a very small form factor supporting two separate pinout configurations, optimized to match different application layouts.
Facts / Highlights:

Key features of the NXP CBTL02043A/B high-speed multiplexer/demultiplexer switch:

* Switching speeds of up to 10 Gbps
* Support for standards such as PCIe Gen3, USB3.0, DisplayPort v1.2 and SAS/SATA 6 Gbps
* High bandwidth at 10 GHz at -3dB
* Low return loss at -20 dB at 4 GHz
* Shutdown pin (XSD) for power-saving mode
* Low crosstalk at -35 dB at 4 GHz
* Low off-state isolation at -20dB at 4 GHz
* Available in a very thin DHVQFN20 package (20 terminals, 2.5 x 4.5 x .85 mm)
