The GX9533 is a high speed 8x9 serial digital crosspoint. An expansion input port eases the design of larger switching matrices by reducing PCB layers and eliminating the need for cascaded secondary switching. Decode logic and double level latching to configure the matrix are included on chip. Separate LOAD and CONFIGURE inputs allow for asynchronous configuration and synchronous switching. These latches can also be made transparent for asynchronous switching by pulling the LOAD and CONFIGURE pins high.
