TUSB1046A-DCI: Clarification regarding Dual role data

Part Number: TUSB1046A-DCI
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB1046-DCI, , TUSB1142, TUSB1044A, TUSB1104

Hi team,
Can you tell me whether this Redriver MUX- TUSB1046AI-DCI , supports Dual role data for USB 3.2 (10Gbps)? Currently i am confused by seeing the attached information from datasheet. It says it is supporting DFP. Could you clarify.
Also, i am using DP alt mode and my device will act as source only for DP ALt mode.

  • Hello,

    The TUSB1046-DCI is intended for DFP/Host applications in a USB3 system. This means that in a DP Alt-mode application, the TUSB1046A-DCI would only act as the source in the connection.

    Thanks,

    Ryan

  • HI Ryan,
    This MUX IC can also supports DFP and UFP for USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps right?

  • Hi,

    The USB 3.2 interface is bi-directional (SSTX and SSRX). However when DisplayPort Alt. mode is used we must define the video source and sink, as DisplayPort is a uni-directional interface. 

    This part can be used in DFP and UFP applications for USB 3.2, but if DP Alt. mode is used this part will only work for a source side implementation.

    If DP Alt. mode is not used, TUSB1142/ TUSB1042 can be used for USB 3.2 x1 applications.

    TUSB1044A and TUSB1104 can be used for USB 3.2 x2 applications.
