TUSB212: could the device regular the signal when the host and salve communicate with each other at the beginning

Part Number: TUSB212

Hi team,

      The host and salve would communicate with each other to identify what kind of usb device is before starting the data transmission with USB2.0. So during this communication, does tusb212 would regular the signal? I find that words saying that “TUSB212 has a patent-pending design which is agnostic to USB Low Speed (LS) and Full Speed (FS) signals. LS and FS signal characteristics are unaffected by the TUSB212 while HS signals are compensated.” which make me confused.

  • Hi Nan,

    The TUSB21X line of USB2 redrivers only boost the signal when it is at high speeds. As such, the TUSB212 does not boost Low Speed or Full Speed signals. This means that any low speed or full speed signals that come through the TUSB212 should not be affected or boosted. 

    Thanks,

  • Hi Ryan,

         Thanks for your reply. But it does not make sense. Because of the cable loss, the customers use our redriver. But the usb212 does not boost the signal when the host and slave are shaking to nego what kind of speed they will transmit.  Due to the long cable, this kind of shaking would not work, when the tusb212 would not regular this shaking signal. That would make the shaking failed. Am I right?

  • Hi Nan,

    The TUSB212 enables signal compensation after the handshake process is complete, as it detects the 45-Ohm pullup termination which indicates the device and host are in high speed. As such, I don't believe our device can do anything to help mitigate this issue. What length of cable is the customer using? Are the devices unable to complete a handshake at any speed?

    Thanks,
