Microchip Technology EQCO5X31 USB 3.2 Reclocker/Redriver

Microchip Technology EQCO5X31 USB 3.2 Reclocker/Redriver incorporates EyeOpen™ and MarginLink™ technologies for performance and reliability. Microchip Technology EQCO5X31 can reclock and drive a USB 3.2 SuperSpeed signal over a cable spanning up to 16 meters. The EQCO5X31 surpasses industry standards, enabling longer-reach applications. Notably, it extends the maximum cable length from 1 meter (as recommended for USB 2.0) to an impressive 5 meters for both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2.
