Part Description
The NB7NPQ1102M is a 3.3 V dual channel, high gain,
redriver for USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 applications
that supports both 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps data rates. Signal
integrity degrades from PCB traces, transmission cables,
and inter
−
symbol interference (ISI). The NB7NPQ1102M
compensates for these losses by engaging varying levels of
equalization at the input receiver, and flat gain amplification
on the output transmitter. The Flat Gain and Equalization are
controlled by four level control pins. Each channel has a set
of independent control pins to make signal optimization
possible.
After power up, periodic check of TX output is made for
the receiver connection. When the receiver is detected, the
RX termination becomes enabled and the device is set to
perform the redriver function. Note that both the channels
are independent of each other. The flexibility of this part
allows it to fit into many system applications
The NB7NPQ1102M comes in a small 3 x 3 mm UQFN16
package and is specified to operate across the entire
industrial temperature range of –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.
