1. General description
PTN36001 is a small, low power SuperSpeed USB 3.0 redriver IC that enhances signal
quality by performing receive equalization on the deteriorated input signal followed by
transmit de-emphasis maximizing system link performance for mobile applications. With
its superior differential signal conditioning and enhancement capability, the device delivers
significant flexibility and performance scaling for various systems with different PCB trace
and cable channel conditions.
PTN36001 is a dual-channel device that supports data signaling rate of 5 Gbit/s through
each channel. The data flow of one channel is facing the USB host, and another channel
is facing the USB peripheral or device. Each channel consists of a high-speed Transmit
(Tx) differential lane and a high-speed Receive (Rx) differential lane.
PTN36001 is powered from a 1.8 V supply and is available in a small X2QFN12 package
(1.25 mm 2.1 mm 0.35 mm) with 0.4 mm pitch.
