Hi Team,

I understood TUSB551 is 4th-generation(1.8V) USB3.0 redriver and TUSB501 is 3rd generation(3.3V) of it.
I found the difference specification of "Common-mode voltage bias in the receiver (DC)" between TUSB551 and TUSB501.

- TUSB551: 0V (TYP)
- TUSB501: 3.3V (TYP)

It seems TUSB551 has no bias at receiver side although TUSB501 has bias. 
Could you tell me the background of the difference?
My customer wants to know it.

Best Regards,
Yaita
