PTN36241G is a very small, low power SuperSpeed USB 3.0 redriver IC that enhances signalquality by performing receive equalization on the deteriorated input signal followed bytransmit de-emphasis maximizing system link performance for mobile applications. Withits superior differential signal conditioning and enhancement capability, the devicedelivers significant flexibility and performance scaling for various systems withdifferent PCB trace and cable channel conditions and still benefit from optimum powerconsumption.

PTN36241G is a dual-channel device that supports data signaling rate of 5 Gbit/s througheach channel. The data flow of one channel is facing the USB host, and another channelis 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.

PTN36241G has built-in advanced power management capability that enables significantpower savings under various different USB 3.0 Low-power modes (U2/U3). It can detectlink electrical conditions and can dynamically activate/de-activate internal circuitryand logic. The device performs these actions without host software intervention andconserves power.

PTN36241G 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.
