The HD3SS213 device is a high-speed passive switch offered in an industry standard 50-pin nFBGA package. The device is specified to operate from a single supply voltage of 3.3 V over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to 105°C. The HD3SS213 is a generic 4-CH high-speed mux/demux type of switch that can be used for routing high-speed signals between two different locations on a circuit board. The HD3SS213 also supports several other high speed data protocols with a differential amplitude of < 1800 mV_PP and a common-mode voltage of < 2 V, as with USB 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2. For display port applications, the HD3SS213 also supports switching of both the auxiliary and hot plug detect signals.

The high speed port selection control inputs of the device, Dx_SEL and AUX_SEL pins can easily be controlled by available GPIO pins within a system.
