TUSB216RWBTQ1

Overview

The TUSB216RWBTQ1 is a USB 2.0 high-speed signal conditioner manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for automotive applications under the AEC-Q100 qualification standard. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 6.5 V and draws a typical operating current of 22 mA. The device supports data rates up to 480 Mb/s and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. Housed in a compact X2QFN-12 package suitable for surface mount installation, this component integrates ESD protection mechanisms to safeguard connected interfaces against electrostatic discharge events.

Feature Summary

• Provides signal conditioning for USB 2.0 high-speed data transmission
• Qualified for automotive environments with extended temperature tolerance
• Integrates electrostatic discharge protection on input/output ports

Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems requiring robust USB connectivity
• Vehicle telematics units utilizing USB 2.0 high-speed interfaces
• Digital cockpit displays needing signal integrity maintenance over long traces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RWBTQ1 to confirm the automotive grade and X2QFN-12 packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target system's voltage requirements, as the device supports a wide input range from 2.3 V to 6.5 V. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage during reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for automotive USB 2.0 high-speed applications requiring signal regeneration. Compare power consumption metrics against other redrivers if battery efficiency is critical. Verify that the X2QFN-12 footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategies for the specific enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TUSB216 series of USB signal conditioners. It shares functional similarities with the TUSB216IRWBR but differs in qualification standards and packaging options. The TUSB216 family addresses signal integrity issues in high-speed USB links, offering a solution for maintaining data fidelity in electrically noisy environments common in modern electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

The TUSB216IRWBR serves as a commercial-grade alternative with similar electrical characteristics but lacks automotive qualification. Designers must evaluate the trade-off between cost and reliability requirements when considering substitutes within the same product family.
