EVAL BOARD www.onsemi.com

Introduction

The NB7NPQ1102MCMUGEVB evaluation board was developed to provide a convenient platform to quickly verify the operation of the NB7NPQ1102M redriver in a USB type−C system environment.
This evaluation board manual contains:

  • Information on the NB7NPQ1102M Evaluation Board
  • Board Schematics
  • Bill of Materials

Board Features

  • Accommodates the Functional Evaluation of the NB7NPQ1102M
  • Acts as a Reference Design that Can Easily be Modified for Active Cables, UFP (Upstream Facing Port), DFP (Downstream Facing Port), and DRP (Dual Role Port) Applications
  • Type−C Plug and Receptacle to Easily Place in the Existing System Environment
  • On Board Control Pins for Adjusting Settings without Compromising Form Factor
  • Two NB7NPQ1102M Devices to Facilitate USB Type−C Connections without using a Multiplexor

Part Description

The NB7NPQ1102M is a 3.3 V dual channel, high gain, redriver for USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 2 applications that supports both 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps data rates.  Signal integrity degrades from PCB traces, transmission cables, and inter−symbol interference (ISI). The NB7NPQ1102M compensates for these losses by engaging varying  levels of equalization at the input receiver, and flat gain amplification on the output transmitter. The Flat Gain and Equalization are controlled by four level control pins. Each channel has a set of independent control pins to make signal optimization possible.
After power up, periodic check of TX output is made for the receiver connection. When the receiver is detected, the RX termination becomes enabled and the device is set to perform the redriver function. Note that both the channels are independent of each other. The flexibility of this part allows it to fit into many system applications The  NB7NPQ1102M comes in a small 3 x 3 mm UQFN16 package and is specified to operate across the entire industrial temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
This manual should be used in conjunction with the device datasheet which contains full technical details on the device specifications and operation.onsemi NB7NPQ1102MCMUGEVB Evaluation Board - Figure

External Power Supply Instructions

onsemi NB7NPQ1102MCMUGEVB Evaluation Board - Figure 3 Select Power Source
The NB7NPQ1102MCMUGEVB has the flexibility to be powered through USB’s VBUS, or an external power supply. Table 1 along with Figure 3 and Figure 4 describe the jumper settings for each of the configurations.
Monitoring Current / Power
There are two easy ways to monitor the current consumed by the redriver. If you are using an external power supply, you can simply use the current meter commonly found on the power supplies. If you would like to use a current probe, simply solder the probe between the VCC pin and the power supply. This will allow monitoring of the  NB7PQ1102M’s current consumption.
Step 4: USB 2.0 Data Lines
The USB 2.0 lines can be disconnected by removing the 0 Ω resistors R5 and R6 on the D+ and D− lines. This is useful if you cannot easily tell whether the downstream facing port has acknowledged a super speed (+) connection with the inserted loss, or if it stepped down to high speed data rates. When a receiver is detected through  RxDetect, the DFP will initialize link training. It will send a test signal out at the highest data rate and expect to see the same signal sent back by the UFP. If the signals do not match due to ISI (or any other connection issues) then it will drop down the data rate to USB 2.0 speeds.
On Windows machines, an easy way to tell that a super speed connection was not established is to look for a pop−up in the task bar letting the user know that “This device can perform faster”. A disk benchmarking tool like Crystal Disk Mark that lets you test read and write speeds to a peripheral storage can also be used.
