SN74CBT16233: Maximum Data Rate

It has a specified bandwidth of 200 MHz, which is not enough for PCIe.

What is the actual problem you're trying to solve?

Hello,

Like Clemens said,

1.This device bandwidth is not high enough to support muxing PCIe signals.

Basically you would need a mux that has a bandwidth in the GHZ range to support this .

TI  has passive multiplexers specifically designed around PCIe switching applications. See our product selection page here 

2.However if you are you trying to mux  PCIe Reference clock signals the device might be able to do that 

The PCIe reference clock signal is typically  100MHZ so in theory this device could support that.

Depending on if you are muxing the PCIe signal or the clock signal will determine if we should use this device?

Also is there a specific reason you need the  16 channel count of this multiplexer?

Please let me know what you think?

Regards

Hello,

Is there any update that I can help with?
