Product Description

The PI3L720 is a 8-Channel 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer LAN Switch with Hi-Z outputs. Industry leading advantages include a propagation delay of less than 250ps, resulting from its low channel resistance and I/O capacitance. The device multiplexes differential outputs from a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver (PHY) device to one of two corresponding B or C outputs. The switch is bidirectional and offers little or no attenuation of the high-speed signals at the outputs. It is designed for low bit-to-bit skew, high channel-tochannel noise isolation and is compatible with various standards, such as 10/100/1000 Base-T (Ethernet). The PI3L720 provides a Power Down input (PD), which can put the device into standby mode (PD=1) while mobile, eliminating an external power switch. Generally, this part can be used to replace mechanical relays in low-voltage LAN applications that interface a physical layer over CAT 5 or CAT 6 unshielded twisted pair cable through an isolation transformer.
