Where should I use National Semiconductor\s Crosspoint switches?
National Semiconductor cross-point switches are well suited for telecommunication switching equipment and other large communication backplanes to facilitate low power, high speed data transmission for point to point interconnects. They are the ideal candidates for the distribution of a serial bus across several rack-mounted backplanes. This is due to their repeater and signal splitter capabilities. The non-blocking architecture allows them to connect any input to any output or outputs.
