PTN36043
USB Type-C SuperSpeed active switch
Rev. 2 — 19 February 2018
Product data sheet
1. General description
PTN36043 is a very small, low power 2 differential channel 2 to 1 active
multiplex/demultiplexer switch with integrated SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 (also known as
USB 3.0) redriver IC that can switch two differential signals to one of two locations. The
active switch has optimized performance with minimized crosstalk, as required by the
high-speed serial interface for USB Type-C connector. PTN36043 allows expansion of
existing high-speed ports for very low power consumption.
With integrated USB 3.1 Gen 1 redriver, signal quality is enhanced by performing receive
equalization on the deteriorated input signal followed by transmit de-emphasis maximizing
system link performance. With its superior differential signal conditioning and
enhancement capability, the device delivers significant flexibility and performance scaling
for various systems with different PCB characteristics and cable channel conditions and
still benefit from optimum power consumption.
PTN36043 has built-in advanced power management capability that enables significant
power savings under various different USB 3.1 Gen 1 Low-power modes (U2/U3). It can
detect link electrical conditions and can dynamically activate/de-activate internal circuitry
and logic. The device performs these actions without host software intervention and
conserves power.
PTN36043 is powered from a 1.8 V supply and is available in a small DHX2QFN18
package (2.4 mm
2.0 mm
0.35 mm) with 0.4 mm pitch.
2. Features and benefits
2 bidirectional differential channel, 2 : 1 multiplex/demultiplexer switch, supports USB
3.1 Gen 1 specification (SuperSpeed only)
Compliant to SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard
Pin out data flow matches USB Type-C connector pin assignments
Two control pins for each channel to select optimized signal conditions
Receive equalization on each channel to recover from InterSymbol Interference
(ISI) and high-frequency losses, with provision to choose equalization gain settings
per channel
Transmit de-emphasis on each channel delivers pre-compensation suited to
channel conditions
Output swing adjustment
Integrated termination resistors provide impedance matching on both transmit and
receive sides
Automatic receiver termination detection
Low active power: 203 mW/113 mA (typical) for VDD = 1.8 V
