Diodes Incorporated, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of semiconductor devices, has introduced the PI3EQX1014, a low-power, 10Gbps, two-port linear ReDriver. The newly launched ReDriver is compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 and backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 at 5Gbps. The device is included in the Intel Modern Standby Platform Component List (PCL).
Its adjustable linear equalization, output swing linearity, and flat gain optimize performance over a variety of physical media by reducing intersymbol interference. Diodes’ intelligent, patented ReDriver technology enables longer PCB trace lengths while minimizing cost and power consumption. The PI3EQX1014 is available in an ultrasmall and thin U-QFN2545-34 package type, occupying only 2.5 mm x 4.5 mm and reducing PCB size and total bill of materials (BOM) cost.
Key features
