FST3125QSC

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The FST3125QSC is a digital bus switch IC manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, featuring four high-speed CMOS TTL-compatible switches. It operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 16-pin SSOP package (SSOP16, .25). The device provides low on-resistance for minimal propagation delay and ground bounce noise. Control inputs are compatible with TTL levels, allowing independent switching via separate /OE pins.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Feature Summary

• Provides four independent one-bit switches connecting Port A to Port B when enabled
• Low on-resistance minimizes signal degradation without adding propagation delay
• Control inputs are fully compatible with standard TTL logic levels
• Operates in flow-through mode with zero bounce characteristics

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Applications

• Signal and control switching in data processing systems
• Voltage translation between 5V and 3.3V domains
• Bus isolation for mass storage and workstation interfaces
• Clock gating applications requiring low noise
