PI5USB212XUAEX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI5USB212XUAEX is a USB 2.0 signal re-driver manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed to enhance signal integrity for high-speed data transmission applications. It supports USB 2.0, OTG 2.0, and BC 1.2 standards with data rates up to 480 Mbps. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and features an X2-QFN-12 package measuring 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm. Configuration is managed via I2C interface or pin settings, allowing adjustment of boost/pre-emphasis levels and receiver sensitivity. It includes automatic connection detection to minimize power consumption, drawing 0.7 mA in idle states and 13 µA when disabled.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Symmetrical boosting of USB D+ and D- channels to ensure common-mode stability
• Pre-emphasis capability to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) losses
• Configurable signal enhancement and receiver sensitivity via I2C or external resistors
• Automatic low-speed/full-speed detection to disable compensation when unnecessary

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Laptop and personal computer USB ports
• USB extension cables and hubs
• Television and monitor interfaces
• Portable electronic devices requiring extended cable lengths

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the component marking against the official datasheet to confirm authenticity. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel quantity of 3500 units. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when extending USB 2.0 traces beyond standard PCB limits or using long cables where signal degradation occurs. It is suitable for designs requiring operation across wide voltage rails from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Consider its compact 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm footprint for space-constrained layouts.
