High-Performance Analog Switches for Set-Top Box Designs [Copy link]

As set-top box designs incorporate more emerging features, such as hard disks for video recording, compact flash interfaces, and video-on-demand (VOD) machines, analog switches continue to be widely used in these applications. By choosing the right switch, designers can not only improve their designs by reducing time to market, but also solve important design challenges such as maintaining signal integrity. In some designs, the right switch can also help reduce bill of materials (BOM) costs. This article will explore the role of analog switches in different types of set-top box applications and explain how to use the right switch to reduce design complexity and component costs.
