In computing applications, there is a requirement to connect to local area networks and there are docking stations. LAN switches like the TS3L501E properly route these signals to a LAN port in the laptop or to a LAN port in a docking station. High bandwidth and low capacitance ensures good signal integrity. These switches eliminate the need for external ESD protection. Also, these switches have integrated power-down features, which reduce current consumption and, hence, save power.
