We would like to utilize the TUSB542 as shown in the schematic below. The redrivers and AP connections are back to back (~2inches apart ). We have a product that has an internal USB3 device and would like to bring out the the USB3 TypeC connector to the enclosure so the user can use a USBc-USBc cable to connect to the PC with a 2meter cable. The usb device in the product will require a 1meter USBc-USBc 1meter cable. We would like to utilize this chip to both extend the USB3 signals to 3meters total and provide a USBC Female to Female 'coupler' interface that can be flip/flopped on either end. Is this something this chip can do? What would be the recommended CFG settings to start with for this application. Are there any additional considerations for making the connections between the UFP, DFP and AP. Due the AP connections being back to back are there any additional termination requirements on the SS lines? Because this is listed as USB3.1 complaint can the superspeed signals be routed with there polarity swapped i.e. 'n' and 'p' connections reversed to optimize routing? Is it compatible with other USB3.1 hubs and devices that have the polarity reversed? can the polarity be reversed on both the AP and redriver connections?
Because of the holidays, TI E2E™ design support forum responses will be delayed from Dec. 25 through Jan. 2. Thank you for your patience.
