Hi Mark,

Yes, having two active muxes in the path is likely to distort the OOB signaling. In some cases this is enough to cause system configuration difficulty on power-up.

You could substitute the SEL53 and SEL54 muxes with passive switches instead for better performance.

Lee

Hello Lee,

What the muxes with passive switches do you suggest? It will be better if it can pin to pin compatible with DS64MB201?

Thank you.
