he N4915A-005 serial bus switch is designed for high speed serial bus applications such as for example Serial-ATA, PCI Express and others. It can switch very fast one source between two sinks or one sink between two sources while having a low effect on signal integrity.
External trigger capabilities allow to remote control the switch. Test equipment with integrated sequencing capabilities (such as e.g. the J-BERT N4903A) can control the switch position as part of a pattern sequence. Furthermore setups with multiple channels (such as e.g. the Pulse Pattern Generator 81134A or the ParBERT 81250 systems) can dedicate a data channel to control the switch.
