The VS3V257 is a high-speed LVTTLcompatible Quad 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer. The VS3V257 contains four mux/demux channels, with a common path control (S) and active low enable (/E). The low ON resistance of the VS3V257 allows inputs to be connected to outputs, without adding propagation delay and without generating additional signal noise. The VS3V2257 has 25Ω resistors in series with the switches to reduce ground-bounce noise and signal reflection.

The VS3V257 and VS3V2257 are designed for 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V level translation, without any external components. These switches also offer very high impedance between switch terminals in the power-off or "disabled" state. This feature, combined with near-zero propagation delay in the "on" state, makes VS3V257 and VS3V2257 ideal interface elements for hot-swapping applications.
