THCX222R05-B

Overview

The CEL THCX222R05-B is an evaluation board designed for the THCX222R05 multi-protocol Redriver and signal conditioner. This component supports interfaces including USB3 Vision and USB3.1 Gen1. The integrated circuit features a linear equalizer to correct insertion loss and inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by PCB and cable traces. Key electrical specifications include a 3.3V power supply voltage, a maximum output swing of 1200mVp-p in the linear region, 16-level adjustable CTLE, and 8-level DC gain settings. It operates within a QFN30 package measuring 2.5mm x 4.5mm.
