Hi Charlie,
One of the larger differences in these devices is the features available on each device.
While the TUSB216I and the TUSB217A have the RX_SEN setting for reducing ISI jitter, while the TUSB211A does not have this setting.
Aside from that, each…
Hello,
It would be possible to do this, yes. Please view the below picture for our recommendations:
Additionally, We recommend using one of our newer redrivers, such as the TUSB216I, the TUSB217A, or the TUSB211A.
Please let me know if you have any other…
Hello,
Good to see that the device is working. Is this done with the settings as listed in your previous post, BOOST level 3 and RX_SENS level high?
The TUSB216I does have I2C registers which, if you want to use them, can go past the levels of boost and…
Hi Josh,
What are the major differences between TUSB216I and TUSB217A? I can't see any obvious difference in terms of function and performance from the datasheet (other than TUSB216i has wider temperature range). However, we received a quote for both…
Hi Gareth,
TUSB213 supports 4m pre-channel and 2m post-channel. If you are looking for a redriver that supports 5m pre-channel, I would recommend using TUSB216I for your performance. It supports 5m cable length and it can recover more loss from PCB/cable…
Hi Ramesh,
I was wondering if you could potentially switch to the TUSB216I, as it an update device of the TUSB212 with P2P compatible and could boost performance even more. For your reference, you can find a datasheet and guide to replacing a TUSB212…
Hi Yanqing,
I did some testing on my side, and from what I can tell, the TUSB213 should be able to complete testing from either the host or device side, with there being a one meter cable between the host and the redriver, and another one meter cable…
Hi Zach,
How long is the cable length for the test?
I was wondering if you could potentially switch to the TUSB216I, as it is more up to date and could boost performance even more. For your reference, you can find a datasheet and guide to replacing a…
Hi Jeff,
It makes sense. Because of the cable length or components placement, there might be a difference between TUSB213 and newer version redrivers. That is why I asked you layout.
As you know, TUSB216 is designed to improve the signal quality of High…
