Pericom Expands USB 3.0 Signal Conditioning Family
SAN JOSE, CA, Feb 25, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a leading supplier
of high-speed connectivity, signal-conditioning and timing solutions,
today announced the expansion of its USB 3.0 5Gb ReDriver(TM) Signal
Conditioning product family. The new additions offer the industry's
smallest footprint at 2mmx2mm, and lowest power in both operating
(158mW) and all important slumber mode (3.63mW), making them ideal
for battery powered mobile devices, such as tablets, smart phones,
and notebooks. AC powered platforms such as servers and networking
switches also benefit since power and space savings are equally
important.
Pericom's USB 3.0 ReDriver family enables end customer platform
designers to extend the PCB trace or cable length and preserve signal
integrity. The extra signal margin can help assure that the platform
will properly recognize and connect to a peripheral USB 3.0 device at
USB 3.0 speeds.
"Mobile device chipsets typically have lower signal strength, so our
smaller, lower power ReDrivers are being adopted to handle the
external cable and still meet USB3 standards compliance," said Bill
Weir, senior director for Pericom's Connect Products Group. "Our
product roadmap will soon offer even lower power and lower voltage
options in the same pinout for seamless transition, and continue our
performance tradition of full standards compliance."
End customer platforms for Pericom's USB 3.0 ReDriver products
include tablets, smart phones, notebooks, desktop, docking stations,
workstations, servers, storage, embedded, networking, consumer
(camera, DVR, etc), HDD/SSD, and other platforms that are rapidly
moving to the new and faster USB 3.0 serial protocol. USB is by far
the most widely used serial protocol in the world, offering transfer
speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. GII (Global Information,
Inc - Nov, 2012) forecasts that global market for USB3 devices will
grow more than 500% through 2016, with over 2.5 Billion USB3 enabled
products being shipped.
