PI3EQX10612ZLCEX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI3EQX10612ZLCEX is a low-power, high-performance 10Gbps 2-Port USB 3.1 Gen-2/Gen-1 Mux/Demux ReDriver manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It supports data rates of 5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s with two independent channels operating on a single 3.3V supply voltage (range: 3.0 V to 3.6 V). The device provides adjustable output linear swing, flat gain, and equalization via I2C or pin control to reduce intersymbol interference. It features automatic receiver detection and an adaptive power management mode. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +70°C, and it is housed in a 40-contact ZLC40 TQFN package.
