Description

MUXBlock is a programmable signal switching module for automated testing, validation, and production systems. It provides flexible, software-controlled matrix connection of both analog and digital signals in one compact hardware module.

It features two independent switching topologies: a high-voltage 4:4 reed relay matrix (handling up to 200 V and 500 mA) and a high-density 8:12 CMOS cross-point matrix (supporting signals up to 10 V and 25 mA). Designed for integration into automated test fixtures and production environments, MUXBlock shares the same mechanical, software, and system architecture as other ecosystem modules, allowing seamless integration within the same test platform.
