New Product Databrief
PI3EQX7841
5.0Gbps, 1-port, USB3.0 ReDriver™ with I2C Programming Interface
Pericom Semiconductor’s PI3EQX7841 is a low power, high
performance 5.0 Gbps signal ReDriver™ designed specifically
for the USB 3.0 protocol. The device provides programmable
equalization, De-Emphasis, and input threshold controls to
optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by
reducing Inter-Symbol Interference. PI3EQX7841 supports
two 100Ω Differential CML data I/O’s between the Protocol
ASIC to a switch fabric, over cable, or to extend the signals
across other distant data pathways on the user’s platform. The
integrated equalization circuitry provides flexibility with signal
integrity of the signal before the ReDriver. A low-level input
signal detection and output squelch function is provided for
each channel.
When the channels are enabled, EN# = 0, and operating,
that channels’ input signal level (on xI+/-) determines
whether the output is active. If the input signal level of
the channel falls below the active threshold level (Vth-)
then the outputs are driven to the common mode voltage.
In addition to signal conditioning, when EN# = 1, the device
enters a low power standby mode. The PI3EQX7841 also
includes a fully programmable I2C interface. When I2C control
mode is enabled, I2C_EN# = 0, equalization, output swing,
and de-emphasis settings can be adjusted by programming
the related pins.
