Hello Team,

Is it possible to use SN65LVCP22 as UART (TX and RX only) MUX 2 to 1?

Thanks,
Moral.

No. This device has buffered I/Os, so all signals must be LVDS.

It would be easier and cheaper to use an actual mux like the TS5A23157.

May you recommend an actual mux like the TS5A23157 or other similar part with SEP version?

The only space-rated mux is the TMUX582F-SEP, which is probably not helpful.

For UART signals, you could use a buffered multiplexer like the SN54HC157-SP, and a demultiplexer like the SN54HC138-SP. Alternatively, build the logic yourself with OR/AND gates like the SN54HC32-SP/SN54HC08-SP.
