General Description

The VS3257 is a high-speed TTL–compatible Quad 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer. The VS3257 contains four mux/demux channels, with a common path control (S) and active low enable (/E). The low ON resistance of the VS3257 allows inputs to be connected to outputs, without adding propagation delay and without generating additional signal noise. The VS32257 has 25Ω resistors in series with the switches to reduce ground-bounce noise and signal reflection.
