PTN36043ABXY

The PTN36043ABXY from NXP Semiconductors is a compact, low-power active multiplexer/demultiplexer switch designed for SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 applications. This IC features two bidirectional differential channels, capable of switching signals to one of two locations. It is compliant with the SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard and its pinout is designed to match USB Type-C connector assignments.

With integrated receive equalization and transmit de-emphasis, the PTN36043ABXY enhances signal quality by recovering from signal degradation and maximizing system link performance. It includes advanced power management capabilities, enabling significant power savings in USB 3.1 Gen 1 low-power modes (U2/U3) and when no connection is detected. The device operates from a 1.8 V supply.

This switch is available in a small 18-X2QFN package measuring 2.4 mm x 2.0 mm with a 0.4 mm pitch, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (TA) and is surface-mounted.

Key electrical characteristics include a typical active power consumption of 203 mW (113 mA) and power-saving states consuming as little as 1.35 mW (0.75 mA). It exhibits excellent return loss performance, with 14 dB differential and 15 dB common-mode return loss up to 1250 MHz.
