USB 3.0 ReDriver and Signal Switch Applications
Pericom USB 3.0 ReDriver helps offset the increased jitter noise and equalize the channel lost from USB 3.0 connector and narrow FPCB trace width.

At the source output, the eye is open and clean, but after a long trace the signal is degraded. Pericom's ReDriver technology restores the signal – the eye of the signal is open just as it was at the source output.



Pericom offers a comprehensive product portfolio of USB 3.0 ReDriver / Repeater and USB 3.0 (Mux/Demux) Switch devices and industry's broadest USB 3.0 switching solution. Pericom performance-tuned USB 3.0 ReDriver/Repeater and USB 3.0 Switch products are perfect I/O Interconnect solutions to tackle the critical High-Speed Signal Integrity issues and to fulfill the I/O switching requirements from various system applications such as Smart Phone, Phablet, Tablet, Notebook, Ultrabook, Server, Storage, Networking, Video/Graphic Display, Automotive Infotainment, Ultra-mobility and other Consumer Electronics platforms.

Load Switch – Extend Battery Life, Outperform Competition

http://www.pericom.com

Battery consumption, continous slew rate, and device protection are three major concerns for all mobile device designers.
Pericom Advantages
  • Extend battery life for mobile applications by smoothly power sequencing different blocks within
    the system.
  • Power consumption is lower compared to the competition to extend the battery life.
  • Our slew rate is continuous in comparison to the competition to protect battery from current spikes.
  • Integrates the over current protection (OCP) block, which protects the device from an accidental short at the external connection.


Application - Power Sequencing block diagram
  • Pericom solution enables power sequencing to turn on / off different system blocks to reduce power consumption.


Key Features
  • Ultra-low RON load switch with controlled turn on
  • Power Switches integrated OCP
  • Protect battery from current spikes with continuous slew rate
  • Active Low/High Enable
    • Active Low with integrated logic inverter (PI3PD22919/25C)
    • Save BoM space
    • Conserve power
  • HBM-ESD 8KV
    • Product robustness
    • Competitor 4KV
  • P2P with competitor load switch – We are a better first source!
