High-performance 5Gbps signal redriver designed for the USB 3.0 protocol

Designed specifically for the USB 3.0 protocol, Pericom Semiconductor's PI2EQX502E low-power high-performance 5Gbps signal redriver is now available from Mouser stock. The device provides programmable equalization and de-emphasis to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing inter-symbol interference. The PI2EQX502E supports two 100ohm differential CML data I/O's between the protocol ASIC to a switch fabric, over cable, or to extend the signals across other distant data pathways for applications such as notebooks, tablets, desktop PCs, DVD/Blu-ray products, WiFi / Bluetooth modules, cell / smart phones and GPS products.
