Shown here is an example of a few of the mobile platforms that Pericom’s USB3 ReDriver has been designed into. Small mobile platforms especially need ReDrivers for high speed serial signals, due to the very low power CPU chipsets used to sacrifice their output drive for low power. Therefore, an external ReDriver is used to boost the output signal and provide proper signal integrity to the connector, down the cable, and into the host device. Many small mobile platforms use ARM based CPU chipsets. Pericom has complete USB3 ReDriver offerings for these chipsets as well as chipsets for NB, WS, TAB, PC, and host side applications.
