FEATURES:

DESCRIPTION:

• Patented technology
• High signal -3db passing bandwidth at 750 MHz
• Near-Zero propagation delay
• VCC = 1.65V to 3.6V
• Ultra-Low Quiescent Power: 0.1µA typical
• Ideally suited for low power applications
• Industrial operating temperature: -40

°C to +85°C

• Available in 16pin 173mil wide TSSOP package
• Available in 16pin 150mil wide SOIC package
• Available in 16pin 150mil wide QSOP package

Potato Semiconductor’s PO3B3251A is
designed for world top performance using
submicron CMOS technology to achieve 750 MHz
high bandwidth.

The PO3B3251A is a 8:1 Multiplexer /
Demultiplexer with  3-state outputs. The switch 
introduces no additional ground bounce  noise or 
propagation delay.
