Genesys Logic Launched USB4® Redriver – BW9906

 

Genesys Logic, Inc., a leading IC design company in mixed-signal, high-speed I/O technologies, today announced BW9906, its high-performance and cost-effective USB4® Redriver.

 

The introduction of Intel and AMD's USB4® interface-enabled PC and server processor platforms has rapidly increased in USB4® market penetration. However, with transfer rates reaching 20Gbps x 2 and above, higher speeds also mean that systems face faster signal degradation. In order to address this issue, Genesys Logic has launched the USB4® Redriver, a signal recovering device.

 

Genesys Logic USB4® Redriver BW9906 is not only backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2, but also supports the Alternate Mode of DP2.1 UHBR20.

 

The sample of Genesys Logic USB4® Redriver BW9906 has already been delivered to the tier one NB and motherboard manufacturers to develop jointly new cost-effective USB4® models with new-generation platforms.

 

Other unique features offered by Genesys Logic USB4® Redriver BW9906 include:

• Low power consumption. Power consumption < 637mW and sleep mode < 3.3mW. (Full power consumption saves about 90% of power consumption compared to mainstream USB4® Redriver in the market).
• It supports I2C operation mode, enabling system R&D engineers to adjust the parameters independently according to the high and low frequencies of different cables or PCB materials to achieve the best compensation for signal degradation.
• It supports linearity up to 1200mVpp, fulfilling more accurate signal transmission and reception than other competitive products.
• The linear swing feature of Genesys Logic Redriver Solution reduces waveform interference and improves overall signal quality.
• EQ enhancement range is up to 12.6 dB, providing better signal scalability than other competitive solutions.

 

Availability and Pricing

The BW9906 is expected to be available in the market by the end of 2024.
