Hi everyone,
I've been trying to design a 12:1 2.0 USB multiplexer for a while, with very little success. I've bought a couple of MAX4999 8:1 multiplexers, trying to use two of them in parallel such as shown in the datasheet.
I've put them on a breakout board from Adafruit, and started testing on a breadboard. I'm need at least 12 USB devices to be accessed individually as removable disks, by the microcontroller (Arduino YUN mini). One of which, for example is Mobius Action Camera.
Obviously, the first concern is the high-speed traces and if you can play with them on a simple breadboard, but I did test a single device, with lines running through the breadboard and everything seemed to work fine as long as they didn't run through the multiplexer.
Any thoughts, suggestions, criticism?
Much appreciated,
Matija
