PI5C16862CA

Logic - Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders

The PI5C16862CA is a low power logic slice, which can be used in a variety of applications. It is a 6-channel CMOS signal switch composed of 8 transceivers. It can do fan-out from one signal to five different outputs. PI5C16862CA also features an integrated logic circuit to control the logic state of the output pins.

Application Field

The PI5C16862CA is typically used in data communication such as USB and HDMI, where it’s important to switch and multiplex signal paths. Other applications such as audio applications and broadcast systems, where signal switching and signal multiplexing may also be involved, are also suitable.

Moreover, it can also be used in embedded systems and control boards like alarms, smoke detectors, remote controls, motion sensors, and different types of sampling and test equipment.

Working Principle

The PI5C16862CA follows the standard structure for switching logic, consisting of a logic circuit, an input buffer, an output buffer, and a clock generator. A signal is input to the input buffer and clocked into the logic circuit. The logic circuit then determines the logic state of the output pins and the output pins are driven by the output buffer.

The PI5C16862CA has four sets of single input / multiple outputs (1-line to 5-lines). The logic circuit can be programmed to multiplex, buffer, or switch the input to the appropriate output pins. The power consumption is kept to a minimum, when the logic state is changing, to ensure minimum heat dissipation.

The PI5C16862CA is available in a wide temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and it is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments where sudden temperature changes can occur. It can support input voltages from 1.8V to 5.5V.

Conclusion

The PI5C16862CA is a low-power and economical logic slice with a wide temperature range and high voltage tolerance. It can be used in a variety of applications as fan-out, switching logic, multiplexing and buffering. Its integrated logic circuit can be programmed accordingly and its power consumption is kept to minimum levels.
