TUSB544 USB Type-C™ Alt Mode Redriver Switch

Texas Instruments offers the TUSB544 USB TYPE-C 8.1 Gbps multi-protocol linear redriver

Image of Texas Instruments' TUSB544 USB Type-C™ Alt Mode Redriver SwitchTexas Instruments' TUSB544 is a USB Type-C alt mode redriver switch supporting data rates up to 8.1 Gbps This protocol-agnostic linear redriver is capable of supporting USB Type-C alt mode interfaces including DisplayPort.

The TUSB544 provides several levels of receive linear equalization to compensate for cable and board trace loss due to inter symbol interference (ISI). Operates on a single 3.3 V supply and comes in a commercial and industrial temperature range.

All four lanes of the TUSB544 are reversible making it a versatile signal conditioner that can be used in many applications.
