7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The TUSB522P is designed to overcome channel loss due to inter-symbol interference and crosstalk when

5Gbps USB3.1 GEN1 signals travel across a PCB or cable. The dual channel architecture is a one-chip,

low-power solution, extending the possible channel length for transmit and receive data paths in an application.

For a Host application, this enables the system to pass both transmitter compliance and receiver jitter tolerance

tests.

The re-driver recovers incoming data by applying equalization that compensates for channel loss, and drives

out signals with a high differential voltage. Each channel has a receiver equalizer with selectable gain settings.

The equalization should be set based on the amount of insertion loss in channel 1 or 2 before the TUSB522P

receivers. Likewise, the output drivers support configuration of De-Emphasis. Independent equalization and

de-emphasis control for each channel can be set using EQ1/2 and DE1/2 pins.

The TUSB522P advanced state machine makes it transparent to hosts and devices. After power up, the

TUSB522P periodically performs receiver detection on the TX pairs. If it detects a USB3.1 GEN1 receiver,

the RX termination is enabled, and the TUSB522P is ready to re-drive.

The device ultra-low-power architecture operates at a 3.3-V power supply and achieves Enhanced performance.

The automatic LFPS De-Emphasis control further enables the system to be USB3.1 compliant.
