I would like to create a system to patch any one of 160 inputs in a modular synthesizer system to any one of 160 outputs. My understanding is that using a 16x16 crosspoint switch IC would require 100 chips, so the 32x32 would only need 25, correct?

Hi foleytronics ,
Yes, you're correct. Using 16x16 crosspoint switch ICs would require 100 chips, while using 32x32 crosspoint switch ICs would only need 25 chips. This makes the 32x32 option more efficient for your modular synthesizer system.

Hi GLADION , can you confirm this use case. Thanks.
Hi foleytronics ,
That's is correct. You will need 100 chips of 16x16 cross-point to accommodate while it only takes 25 chips of 32x32 crosspoint switch. Thank you.
