The new PS8742 enables USB Type-C port configurations compliant with the USB Type-C and DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB Type-C standards. In addition to the high-speed signal configuration switch, the new PS8742 Type-C Redriving Switch integrates signal redriver circuitry to avoid the signal loss associated with commonly used passive switching solutions.
