Introduction
The NB7NPQ702MEVK and the NB7VPQ702MEVK
evaluation board were developed with a common PCB
layout design to provide a convenient platform to quickly
verify the operation of the NB7NPQ702M or the
NB7VPQ702M re−drivers in a USB type−C system
environment.

Part Description
The NB7NPQ702M is a 3.3 V and the NB7VPQ702M is
a 1.8 V dual channel re−driver for USB 3.1 applications that
support both 5 and 10 Gbps data rates. Signal integrity
degrades from PCB traces and transmission cables which
may cause inter−symbol interference (ISI). The
NB7NPQ702M and NB7VPQ702M compensate for these
losses by engaging varying levels of equalization at the input
receiver. The output transmitter circuitry provides user
selectable de−emphasis and output amplitude settings to
create the best eye openings for the outgoing data signals.
The flexibility of this part allows it to fit into many system
applications.
The NB7NPQ702M / NB7VPQ702M features an
intelligent LFPS circuit. This circuit senses the low
frequency signals and automatically disables driver
de−emphasis for full USB 3.1 compliances.
After power up, the NB7NPQ702M / NB7VPQ702M
periodically checks both of the TX output pairs for a
SuperSpeed USB receiver. When the receiver is detected,
the RX termination becomes enabled and the
NB7NPQ702M / NB7VPQ702M is set to perform the
re−drive function.
The NB7NPQ702M and NB7VPQ702M come in a 3 mm
x 3 mm UQFN−16 package and are specified to operate
across the entire industrial temperature range, –40°C to
85°C.
This manual should be used in conjunction with the device
datasheet which contains full technical details on the device
specifications and operation.
