THCX222R10-B

Overview

The THCX222R10-B is an evaluation board manufactured by CEL, designed specifically for the THCX222R05 signal conditioning component. This adapter driver facilitates the testing and validation of multi-protocol Redriver capabilities, supporting interfaces such as USB3 Vision and USB3.1 Gen1. The underlying THCX222R05 IC integrates a linear equalizer to correct insertion loss and inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by PCB traces. Key electrical characteristics include a 3.3V power supply requirement, up to 16-level CTLE settings, and an output swing of up to 1200mVp-p in the linear region.

Feature Summary

• Provides a dedicated platform for evaluating the THCX222R05 multi-protocol Redriver and signal conditioner
• Supports interface validation for USB3 Vision and USB3.1 Gen1 applications
• Enables assessment of linear equalization performance to mitigate trace-induced signal degradation

Applications

• Evaluation of USB3 Vision interface signal integrity
• Testing of USB3.1 Gen1 link performance
• Validation of THCX222R05 linear equalizer configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision suffix against official documentation to ensure compatibility with the target THCX222R05 device. Confirm that the package type matches the design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications prior to ordering. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents for the evaluation kit.

Selection Notes

Select this board only if the design requires hardware validation of the THCX222R05 signal conditioning parameters. It is intended for engineering development rather than end-product integration. Verify that the 3.3V operating voltage aligns with the system power architecture. Consider the QFN30 footprint constraints when planning the final PCB layout based on test results.

Part Context

This evaluation board belongs to the AC564 series of development kits produced by CEL. It serves as a specialized tool for engineers working with high-speed serial data links. The kit allows for the characterization of the THCX222R05's ability to restore signal quality in noisy environments or over long copper traces.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are documented for this specific evaluation board configuration.
