AN11001 NXP Semiconductors CBTL02042A switching application for mSATA, PCIe Mini-Card It is recommended to minimize the use of vias and avoid impedance mismatch between traces. Also, the signal traces between the AC-coupling capacitors and the Mini-Card/mSATA connector, including those signals going through CBTL02042A, should be routed on the top layer only.

Alternative design using CBTL02042A or CBTL04082A In the design example above, only one interface is active at a time. For example, when a Mini-Card is inserted into the Mini-Card/mSATA connector socket, the PCI Express interface is selected, and the SATA interface is inactive.
