TMUX646: Can the TMUX646 used as CPU/SD-Bus switch

Part Number: TMUX646

Tool/software:

Hello TI Support Team.


We are looking for a fast switch (1x2) for switching the CPU/SD bus.

The switch should be able to switch the CPU/SD bus between an SD-Card and an eMMC flash.

The SD bus switch should also be suitable for high-speed (HS200 and HS-DDR) data transfer.


Can we use the TMUC646 as a switch between an SD-Card and an eMMC flash?

Can you recommend another component that is suitable for this application?

Ideally, the bus switch should also have a voltage conversion.

Note:
- The CPU/SD bus operates with a 1.8V logic level.
- The SD card operates with a 3.3V logic level.
- The eMMC flash operates with a 3.3V logic level.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

  • Hi Horst,

    I am not super familiar with HS200 & HS-DDR, but from my brief search, it appears that the frequencies for each are 200MHz and 50MHz, respectively. As the TMUX646 has a bandwidth of 6GHz, which is more than recommended 5-7x the signal frequency, it should be fine in that respect. Additionally, this device is 1.8V and 3.3V logic compatible.

    This device does not have voltage conversion, but based on your other parameters, seems like a very good fit.

    Best,
    Katy
