PTN36502HQX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PTN36502HQX is a Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 1 and DisplayPort v1.2 combo redriver designed for signal quality enhancement in platforms supporting VESA DisplayPort Alt Mode Standard v1.0a. It supports four signaling combinations via I2C or ternary GPIO pins: one USB 3.1 Gen 1 port; one USB 3.1 Gen 1 port plus two-lane DP with AUX; or four-lane DP with AUX. The device handles USB 3.1 Gen 1 data rates of 5 Gbps and DisplayPort rates up to 5.4 Gbps (HBR2), with AUX at 1 Mbps. Powered by a single 1.8 V supply, it features integrated termination resistors, RX equalizers, active TX de-emphasis, and an AUX crossbar switch for plug orientation. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
