7.1 Overview

The TUSB544 is a USB Type-C Alt Mode redriver switch supporting data rates up to 8.1 Gbps. This device implements 5th generation USB redriver technology. The device is utilized for configurations C, D, E, and F from the VESA DisplayPort Alt Mode on USB Type-C Standard. It can also be configured to support custom USB Type-C alternate modes.

The TUSB544 provides several levels of receive equalization to compensate for cable and board trace loss due to inter-symbol interference (ISI) when USB 3.1 Gen 1 or DisplayPort (or other Alt modes) signals travel across a PCB or cable. This device requires a 3.3V power supply. It comes for both commercial temperature range and industrial temperature range operation.

For host (source) or device (sink) applications the TUSB544 enables the system to pass both transmitter compliance and receiver jitter tolerance tests for USB 3.1 Gen 1 and DisplayPort version 1.4 HBR3. 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. Equalization control for upstream and downstream facing ports can be set using UEQ[1:0], and DEQ[1:0] pins respectively or through the I2C interface.

Moreover, the CFG[1:0] or the equivalent I2C registers provide the ability to control the EQ DC gain and the voltage linearity range for all the channels (Refer to Table 8). This flexible control makes it easy to set up the device to pass various standard compliance requirements.

The TUSB544 advanced state machine makes it transparent to hosts and devices. After power up, the TUSB544. periodically performs receiver detection on the TX pairs. If it detects a USB 3.1 Gen 1 receiver, the RX termination is enabled, and the TUSB544 is ready to re-drive.

The TUSB544 provides extremely flexible data path signal direction control using the CTL[1:0], FLIP, DIR[1:0], and SWAP pins or through the I2C interface. Refer to Table 4 for detailed information on the input to output signal pin mapping.

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 USB 3.1 compliant.
