What is the crosspoint switch "HD3SS460" that supports alternate mode?

The HD3SS460 is a USB Type-C alternate mode crosspoint switch provided by Texas Instruments (hereafter TI).
In alternate mode, signals such as DisplayPort, HDMI, and PCIe can be communicated with a single USB Type-C cable.

The HD3SS460 has the following major features.

1. Multiplexer function for high-speed communication

The multiplexer function of HD3SS460 supports USB3.1 (Gen1) 5Gbps and Display Port 1.2a (alternate mode) 5.4Gbps.
*Includes a multiplexer for low-speed SBU signals.

2. Supports adaptive common mode tracking

The HD3SS460 will work with differential signals up to 1800mVpp with a common mode voltage range of 0-2V.

3. Temperature range -40 to 85°C

Suitable for industrial temperature range (-40 to 85°C).
