TUSB212RWBR

Specialized Overview

The TUSB212RWBR is a USB 2.0 High-Speed signal conditioner manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed to extend cable lengths and maintain signal integrity in high-speed data transmission applications. Operating within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V with a typical operating current of 22 mA, this device supports data rates up to 480 Mb/s. It features an I2C interface for configuration and control, housed in a compact X2QFN-12 surface-mount package. The component is rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and complies with USB 2.0 standards.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Provides signal conditioning for USB 2.0 High-Speed connections to support extended cable lengths.
• Includes an integrated I2C interface for programmable configuration and monitoring.
• Utilizes a small form-factor X2QFN-12 package suitable for space-constrained designs.

Specialized Applications

• Extending USB 2.0 High-Speed cable runs beyond standard length limitations.
• Signal restoration in complex USB hub architectures or repeater chains.
• Industrial and automotive embedded systems requiring robust USB connectivity.

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RWBR against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact packaging type and reel specifications. Ensure that the procurement documentation matches the required RoHS compliance status and humidity sensitivity level (MSL) for your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select the TUSB212RWBR when a single-channel USB 2.0 redriver with I2C configurability is required for industrial temperature ranges. Compare it against the TUSB211 series if lower power consumption is critical, or the TUSB213/TUSB214 series if multiple ports are needed. Confirm that the 3V to 3.6V supply voltage aligns with the system design constraints.

Specialized Part Context

This component belongs to the TUSB21x family of USB 2.0 High-Speed Signal Conditioners from Texas Instruments. The family includes variants such as the TUSB211, TUSB213, and TUSB214, which offer different port counts and feature sets. The TUSB212 specifically targets applications needing reliable signal re-driving for long cables while maintaining compatibility with standard USB protocols.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

The TUSB211IRWBR is a related single-channel variant within the same package family but may differ in electrical characteristics or power consumption. For multi-port requirements, consider the TUSB213 or TUSB214 series. Verify pinout compatibility and functional equivalence before substituting any other redriver ICs.
