The P13USB10ZEEX is a USB 3.0 ReDriver manufactured by Pericom (now Diodes Incorporated). This device is designed to improve signal integrity in USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed USB) applications by compensating for signal attenuation and ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) that occur over longer cable lengths or PCB traces.

Applications

• Desktops and laptops
• External hard drives
• USB hubs
• Docking stations
• USB extension cables

Features

• Compliant with USB 3.0 specifications
• Data rates up to 5 Gbps
• Adjustable equalization
• Low power consumption
• Small form factor package

Benefits

• Increased USB 3.0 cable length support
• Improved signal quality and reliability
• Enhanced system performance
• Reduced power consumption
• Simplified PCB layout

The P13USB10ZEEX utilizes equalization techniques to pre-emphasize the transmitted signal, compensating for signal losses that occur during transmission. This ensures a clear and reliable signal at the receiver. The adjustable equalization allows for optimization based on the specific cable or trace characteristics. The ReDriver supports data rates of up to 5 Gbps, meeting the requirements of USB 3.0. Low power consumption is essential for portable devices and helps minimize heat generation. The compact package simplifies PCB layout and reduces board space requirements. Proper implementation of this ReDriver allows USB 3.0 devices to function reliably even with longer cables, which can be beneficial in many user applications.
