Product lineup

FL7201

This is a 2:1 bidirectional passive switch suitable for USB Type-C® multiplexer or demultiplexer applications supporting USB3.2 Gen2 data rates. A single SEL input pin is used to switch the differential channels between Port 1 and Port 2, and the active-low OEn input can be used for power-down mode control.

It can also be used in other high-speed serial interface applications (e.g. PCI Express®, MIPI®, etc.).
