Analog Devices' X-stream%u2122 family of digital switches includes high speed crosspoint and 2:1 Mux/DeMux switches. Analog Devices crosspoint and 2:1 Mux/DeMux switches are ideal for WDM, enterprise and metro networking systems commonly employed by Internet service providers, data centers, telecom central offices, and storage area networks. These crosspoint switches are also suited for broadcast video applications.
Generic Digital Crosspoint (GDX) devices represent a class of high-density programmable component, distinct from complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The diagram below shows the evolution of these devices. Each successive family built on the previous concepts: starting from initial GDX family to latest high speed Switching and interfacing ispGDX2 family. Digital Crosspoint devices are available to support 5.0V, 3.3V, 2.5V and 1.8V designs and have been optimized for fast, cost-effective integration of complex professional interface logic and signal routing applications.
