Shown here are three Pericom USB3 ReDriver families across three popular Vdd rail voltages: 3.3V, 1.8V, and 1.2V.  Each voltage family offers both 1 Channel (Tx or Rx only channel) and 1 Port (both Tx and Rx channels). For most applications such as NB, TAB, etc that uses an Intel chipset, 1 Port versions would be used, since the platform is on the host side and needs both Tx and Rx support. Some applications such as smart phones, that are end points (not hosts), then 1 Channel versions can be used. If an end point has host mode enabled, which is a future trend, then a 1 port ReDriver should be considered. All Pericom USB3 ReDrivers, regardless of voltage or channels, are designed to pass all the USB-IF compliance specifications, the power management specifications in particular. This means that a Pericom USB3 ReDriver can save battery power by going into the lowest power state possible as specified by the chipset signaling. Pericom is the ONLY USB3 ReDriver vendor to pass USBIF compliance testing and earn a spot on their integrator’s list.
