TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 26, 2018--THine Electronics, Inc. (JASDAQ:6769), the global leader in high-speed serial interface and provider of mixed-signal LSI, today announces that THine has developed three paddle cards and three active plugs for USB3.1 Gen2. THine plans to deliver samples of the new products in August, 2018.

While THine already provides redriver product “THCX222R10” for improving signal integrity of high-speed interface with transmission rate of about 10Gbps, THine has developed three paddle cards for USB3.1 Gen2 active cable including small board that has “THCX222R10,” three types of USB connector (Standard-A plug, Micro-B plug, and Type-C TM plug), and other components. These products can easily make Standard-A/Micro-B/Type-C TM active cables for USB3.1 Gen2, which provides long-distance transmission solution. The new active plugs are signal compensators that compensate waveform of signals flowing in the USB connector connected to the adapter. In the active plug, THine’s redriver “THCX222R10” is mounted on small board, and two USB connectors (plug/receptacle) and other components are provided at both ends of the board. These products can easily make active plug that compensates waveform of USB3.1 Gen2 signals at any connecting point, which provides long-distance transmission solution and free lay-out. Specifically, USB Type-C TM is expected to be used as interface between devices for XR market, such as VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), and MR (mixed reality) as well as for PC and mobile markets.
