Overview
The CBTL06GP213EEJ, produced by NXP USA Inc., is a second-generation high-performance general-purpose switch designed for various high-speed applications. This six-channel (‘hex’) multiplexer supports DisplayPort, HDMI, and PCI Express signals at Generation 2 (Gen2) speeds. It is optimized for bidirectional, AC-coupled PCI Express, DisplayPort signals, USB3 SuperSpeed, and DC-coupled TMDS signals, utilizing high-bandwidth pass-gate technology. The device is particularly useful in scenarios where signal switching or multiplexing is required between different sources and sinks.
