USB 3.0 5Gbps Bidirectional Redriver

The PS8723 is a Dual Port, bidirectional USB 3.0 redriver device that exhibits low power consumption.  It 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.
