The VSC3104/3108 are multipurpose

switching devices that are designed to

enable next generation backplane designs,

and extend the life of existing backplanes.

The integrated equalization capabilities at

both the input and output effectively absorb

the effects of signal loss through copper interconnect, either

printed circuit board traces, or cable.

SIGNAL CONDITIONING APPLICA TION:

The function of the VSC3104/3108 is simple, yet powerful,

creating multiple applications just about anywhere high-

speed signals are present. The fully broadband, non-

blocking and multi-cast capable switch core allows the

VSC3104/3108 to be configured as a 1:4/1:8 fan-out buffer

with very low channel-channel skew, or as a 4/8 channel

signal reconditioner.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The VSC3104 is a 4x4 crosspoint switch with integrated equalization

The VSC3108 is a 8x8 crosspoint switch with integrated equalization
