PI3EQX1004ZHEX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI3EQX1004ZHEX is a low-power, high-performance 10.0 Gbps 2-Port USB 3.1 linear ReDriver designed for the USB 3.1 protocol. It provides programmable equalization and flat gain to optimize performance over various physical mediums by reducing Inter-Symbol Interference. The device supports two 100Ω Differential CML data I/Os between the Protocol ASIC and a switch fabric, cable, or distant data pathways. Each channel operates fully independently, with input signal levels determining output activity. It features automatic receiver detection and an auto 'Slumber' mode for adaptive power management. The component operates on a single 3.3V supply voltage and is housed in a 42-pin TQFN package.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Diodes Incorporated distributors. Confirm RoHS 3 compliance and lead-free status against current regulatory requirements. Ensure the ZH suffix corresponds to the correct TQFN package dimensions. Validate that the X suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring signal integrity extension over cables or PCB traces at 10 Gbps speeds. Consider its independent channel operation for multi-lane applications. Evaluate the need for pin-adjustable equalization to match specific trace losses. Verify compatibility with 3.3V single-supply systems and check if automatic slumber mode meets power efficiency targets.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

The PI3EQX1004 belongs to the PI3EQX10 series of USB 3.1 Gen-2 Redrivers from Diodes Incorporated. This series focuses on extending high-speed serial link distances while maintaining signal quality. The ZHEX variant specifically denotes the 42-contact Very Thin Quad Flat No-Lead (TQFN) package configuration with tape and reel shipping format.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions within the PI3EQX1004 family. Consult Diodes Incorporated for direct cross-references if the ZHEX suffix is unavailable. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with other 2-port USB 3.1 redriver solutions.
