TI devices typically have a code printed or etched on their top side that contains information about what device it is, when it was manufactured, and where it was manufactured. This code is referred to by a few names such as top marking, top side marking…
Some TI switches and multiplexers have orderable part numbers labelled with an E4/G4/G3 suffix. There is no difference between a device labeled with an E4/G4/G3 suffix and one without the label. TI.com highlights this in the ordering & quality section…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMUX646 When looking for an analog switch / multiplexer for LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) applications, it is import to understand the specifications of the LVDS standard (TIA/EIA-644):
