TUSB501 USB 3.0 Single Channel Redriver Texas Instruments TUSB501 USB 3.0 Single Channel Redriver is a 3rd generation 3.3V USB 3.0 single-channel redriver. When 5Gbps SuperSpeed USB signals travel across a PCB or cable, signal integrity degrades due to loss and inter-symbol interference. The TUSB501 recovers incoming data by applying equalization that compensates channel loss and drives out signals with a high differential voltage. This extends the possible channel length and enables systems to pass USB 3.0 compliance. The TUSB501 advanced state machine makes it transparent to hosts and devices. After power up, the TUSB501 periodically performs receiver detection on the TX pair. If it detects a SuperSpeed USB receiver, RX termination becomes enabled, and the TUSB501 is ready to redrive. The TUSB501-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
