TUSB216IRWBT

Overview

The TUSB216IRWBT is a USB 2.0 high-speed signal conditioner manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed to compensate for AC and DC losses in transmission channels. It supports data rates up to 480 Mb/s and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 6.5 V. The device draws a typical operating current of 22 mA and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Housed in an X2QFN-12 package suitable for surface mount installation, it integrates ESD protection and I2C interface capabilities for configuration.

Feature Summary

• Compensates for channel insertion loss to maintain signal integrity at high speeds
• Integrates electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on input and output ports
• Supports I2C interface for dynamic configuration and status monitoring

Applications

• Extending USB trace lengths on motherboards and backplanes
• Signal conditioning in docking stations and hubs
• High-speed data links in industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RWBT' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the package type, tape-and-reel quantity, and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint dimensions and soldering profiles before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when extending USB 2.0 traces beyond standard length limits without requiring active protocol conversion. Compare power consumption and thermal dissipation requirements against alternative redrivers. Confirm that the 2.3 V to 6.5 V supply range aligns with the system's available voltage rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TUSB216I series of USB 2.0 signal conditioners. It serves as a passive-like equalizer that restores signal quality degraded by PCB trace losses. It complements other interface ICs by enabling longer physical connections while maintaining compliance with USB 2.0 specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include TUSB216IRWBR and TUSB216IEVM evaluation modules. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before swapping. No direct cross-reference is guaranteed without consulting the latest TI documentation.
