TI's Newest Hi-Def USB Mux

Do you work in an industry where you may need dozens or even thousands of double-throw, double-pole multiplexers? Perhaps you need one that offers the flexibility of a single-pole, double-throw switch?

Texas Instruments has released a powerful, dual USB and mobile high-definition link multiplexer that proves everything really is bigger in Texas! Except the Cowboys, of course.

Word is upon your application of TI's TS3 USB 3200 you will have the unrivaled capability to control USB access at exceptionally high transfer speeds. I can't wait to get my own - and I'll tell you how to get one for free, momentarily.

I doubt that I need to tell you what Universal Serial Bus 2.0 is, but you'd probably like to know that this device is compatible with Mini-USB as well. One notable feature is the recently developed mobile high-definition link (MHL) that will more than likely become the new standard for connecting portable electronics (phones, tablets) to HD displays. This allows the USB switch to transfer HD information quickly and easily. This will certainly come in handy in places like call centers and tech departments, where workers may need to quickly switch between speakers, headsets, I/O devices, and network adapters with little fuss.

And I'll tell you what, TI loaded this USB switch with tons of features. So many features that it makes my ten gallon hat spin.

Another useful feature of this device is its a flexible power control, as it that can utilize the its pin's power rails to operate with or without and positive power supply. The 3200 has considerable overvoltage tolerance as well. For a full diagram of how the TS3 USB 3200's pin configuration lies, check out the manufacturer-supplied diagram below.

Oh, and you know what's super cool about Texas Instuments? They'll give you a sample of this terrific device absolutely free. That's right, sign up for a TI industrial account, and you'll get one of these handy devices for nada.

I think that proves that not only is everything bigger in Texas, but also much more hospitable!
