TS5N214PW

Logic - Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders

TS5N214PW is a logic switch and switching device that enables coordinated switching of multiple signals to/from an IC or peripheral device. This device has 4 operations, 4 channels, and 16 sequential switching capability, enabling the connection of a single signal to multiple peripheral devices, or the multiplexing of multiple signals to/from a single peripheral device. TS5N214PW is a control-signal switching device that enables one control signal to be switched between 16 different peripheral devices. This device has a tri-state buffer output capable of handling both digital and analog signals.

Application field

The TS5N214PW is ideal for multi-channel, multi-directional switching applications in a variety of system-level applications such as audio-visual systems and automotive systems. It is ideal for applications that require multiple analog or digital signals to be multiplexed or demultiplexed at a wide range of frequencies. The device is suitable for high-frequency applications due to its superior switching performance.

Working Principle

The TS5N214PW consists of 4 switching channels that allow switching between four different signal sources. Each channel includes two tri-state buffers, which enable the signal to be switched in two directions. Additionally, each switching channel has its own enable signal, allowing precise control of the switching operation. The multiplexer mode allows one signal to be routed to 16 different destinations and the demultiplexer mode allows 16 different signals to be routed to one destination. Each signal can also be held in a “tri-state” condition, allowing unimpeded signal flow when the switch is not enabled.

The TS5N214PW also features a comparison circuit which allows the signal levels to be compared before the switching operation is initiated. This feature prevents signal distortion and errors that can arise due to mismatches between the signal levels at the source and the destination. Additionally, the device includes a slew rate control circuit which allows the signal to be slowed, allowing timing adjustments on fast-rising signal edges. This feature is useful for controlling the switching speed for high-frequency signals.
