USB 3.0 5Gb/s Bidirectional Redriver

The PS8733 is a Single Port, bidirectional USB 3.0 redriver device that exhibits low power consumption in a 2x2mm package, making it ideal for portable devices.

The PS8733 is designed to be placed within the USB 3.0 high speed signal path to improve signal integrity, enabling a longer physical media link, for example, and/or to improve reliability.  The device’s bidirectional configuration provides a high level of system integration.

On-chip input equalization and output de-emphasis circuits provide improved system signal integrity.  In addition to supporting full USB 3.0 power management, additional automatic power saving modes can be enabled.  When enabled, power reduction between data packets can be reduced by as much as 90%, and very low power is consumed when in suspend mode, triggered by USB device unplug or disable through Rx termination sensing.
