GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8156, a member of the Xstream line of products, is a high speed, fully differential, digital crosspoint switch. The part can function as a 4 × 4 crosspoint switch with double-latched memory, allowing simultaneous updates, or as a dual 2 × 2 with direct output control. The AD8156 has low power dissipation, typically 700 mW on 3.3 V with all outputs and input equalizers active. It operates at any data rate from dc to 6.25 Gbps per port.
Each input channel on the AD8156 has a programmable input equalizer to compensate for signal loss over a backplane.
