The USB Type-C specification calls for data transfer rates of up to 40Gbps (80 times faster than a USB2.0 or Lightning connection) in the new miniature “Type-C” connector which measures just 8.55mm by 2.75mm. These dimensions yield a connector area that is approximately 65% smaller than the USB Standard Type A connector, and only 1.60mm wider than the USB 2.0 MicroB and Lightning connectors. Spectra7’s ultra-low power signal processing technology restores the signal from ultra-thin cable conductors while embedded in the Type-C cable connector for optimal performance and smallest form factor, while
supporting multiple link protocols including DisplayPort digital video and USB SuperSpeed data, all while reducing the cross-sectional area of the copper conductors by up to 90% when compared to traditional passive cables. Spectra7’s TC7108 chip delivers two channels of DisplayPort HBR2 at 5.4Gbps each (10.8Gbps in total), while the TC7216 delivers four channels (21.6Gbps in total). The TC7050 delivers USB 3.1 Gen 1 data at 5.0Gbps. The TC7108 and TC7050 can be used together to build bidirectional links for ultra-thin high definition external displays and dynamic interfaces for wearable technology. Similarly, multiple TC7050 devices can be used to enable parallel high speed data channels in a single cable.
