PS8722 / PS8725 – Dual Port USB 3.0 Repeater / Redriver, Unidirectional
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS
USB 3.0 5Gb/s Unidirectional Repeaters
The PS8722 and PS8725 are two-channel, unidirectional USB 3.0 repeater/redriver devices. The on-chip programmable equalization and driver circuits provide signal reconditioning for long media link applications. The unidirectional configuration enables device placement flexibility; for example one device can be applied to the receive channels near a dual-port USB 3.0 host, and another device to the transmit channels near the USB 3.0 connector.
In addition to supporting full USB 3.0 power management, an additional automatic power saving mode can be enabled that suspends device operation between data packets, reducing power consumption by as much as 90%. Automatic USB device plug/unplug or enable/disable is detected through Rx termination sensing.
