MAX14975
Robust Dual USB 3.0 Equalizer/Redriver with
Extended Temperature Operation
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX14975 dual SuperSpeed USB 3.0 equalizer/
redriver utilizes programmable input equalization and
output deemphasis to reduce deterministic jitter and
restore signal loss caused by circuit-board or signal-
cable losses, and allows optimal placement of key
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 components and longer circuit-
board traces or cables. The device features advanced
power management with receiver detection and explicit
support for USB 3.0 low-frequency periodic signals
(LFPS).
