Product details
Overview
PTN36043ABXY from NXP Semiconductors is a 2-channel, 2:1 bidirectional SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) active multiplexer/demultiplexer with integrated redriver functionality, operating from a 1.8 V supply, delivering 14 dB differential return loss (10 MHz–1250 MHz), and consuming only 113 mA typical in active state - deployed in USB Type-C docking stations and mobile device port expansion.
For engineers reviewing the PTN36043ABXY datasheet, PTN36043ABXY pinout, PTN36043ABXY application, or PTN36043ABXY equivalent, this page delivers verified signal integrity parameters, USB 3.1 Gen 1 redriver configuration options per channel, power-state current draw (0.45 mA no-connection, 0.75 mA U2/U3), DHX2QFN18 package dimensions, and flow-through pinout mapping for PCB layout optimization.
Technical Context
The PTN36043ABXY implements dual independent redriver channels - one facing the application processor (AP side) and one facing the connector (CON side) - each configurable via ternary CHx_SETx pins for receive equalization (0/3/6 dB), transmit de-emphasis (−5.3/−3.9/−3.5/0 dB), and output swing (900/1100 mV). Its SEL pin selects between two USB Type-C ports without host software intervention.
It performs automatic receiver termination detection, integrates on-die 72–120 Ω differential termination, supports electrical idle detection with 5–14 ns reaction time, and transitions from power-saving to active state in ≤115 µs. The device complies with JESD78 Class II latch-up and exceeds 7 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM ESD ratings.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB 3.1 Gen 1 active switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3USB30E | No integrated redriver; passive analog switch only; requires external signal conditioning for >10 cm traces. | Suitable for short-board routing where channel loss is minimal; lacks USB 3.1 Gen 1 power-state awareness. | Choose TS3USB30E only if system-level signal integrity is guaranteed without redriving and lowest BOM cost is prioritized. |
| PI3DBS16412 | 16-pin QFN, supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 + DisplayPort Alt Mode; higher active current (150 mA), no U2/U3-aware power management. | Used in multi-protocol Type-C controllers; lacks per-port EQ/DE configurability and automatic termination detection. | Choose PI3DBS16412 when co-routing USB and DP signals is required; PTN36043ABXY is preferred for USB-only, ultra-low-power designs. |
Compared with TS3USB30E and PI3DBS16412, the PTN36043ABXY uniquely combines integrated redriver, ternary per-channel configuration, sub-1 mA U2/U3 current, and automatic termination detection - making it optimal for battery-powered USB-C expansion where signal integrity and power efficiency are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PTN36043ABXY in a USB Type-C system?
The PTN36043ABXY serves as a 2:1 bidirectional active multiplexer/demultiplexer with integrated USB 3.1 Gen 1 redriver functionality. It routes SuperSpeed differential signals between an application processor and two USB Type-C connector ports while enhancing signal integrity through receive equalization and transmit de-emphasis. Its design enables dynamic port selection and power-state adaptation without host software intervention - critical for mobile docking and port expansion applications where PCB space and power budget are tightly constrained. The PTN36043ABXY operates exclusively at 5 Gbps and does not support USB 2.0 or alternate modes.
How does the PTN36043ABXY manage power in USB 3.1 Gen 1 low-power states?
The PTN36043ABXY implements autonomous power management aligned with USB 3.1 Gen 1 U2/U3 electrical conditions. It draws only 0.75 mA typical in U2/U3 states and further reduces to 0.45 mA when no USB connection is detected - achieved via dynamic activation/deactivation of internal redriver blocks and squelch detection circuitry. This behavior is triggered solely by bus electrical signaling and the SEL pin state; no USB protocol decoding or host driver interaction is required. The PTN36043ABXY exits U2/U3 in ≤115 µs and reacts to electrical idle transitions within 5–14 ns, ensuring rapid link recovery without compromising power savings.
Can the PTN36043ABXY be used with USB 2.0 signals or DisplayPort Alt Mode?
No, the PTN36043ABXY is designed exclusively for USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) differential signaling and does not process, route, or condition USB 2.0 or DisplayPort Alt Mode signals. Its internal architecture - including equalization filters, de-emphasis drivers, and termination networks - is optimized for the 2.5 GHz fundamental frequency and spectral content of USB 3.1 Gen 1. While the DHX2QFN18 package has sufficient pins to accommodate additional functions, the PTN36043ABXY silicon does not include USB 2.0 transceivers or DP lane switching logic. For multi-protocol Type-C applications, a separate switch or controller must handle non-SuperSpeed lanes.
What are the key layout considerations for the PTN36043ABXY's DHX2QFN18 package?
Successful PCB layout for the PTN36043ABXY requires strict adherence to its flow-through pinout: differential pairs (e.g., RX_AP_+/−, TX_CON_1+/−) must be routed as matched-length, controlled-impedance (90 Ω differential) traces with minimal stubs and adjacent ground vias. The exposed center pad must be solidly soldered to a dedicated internal or bottom-layer GND plane for both electrical grounding and thermal dissipation. Power supply (VDD1V8) requires local 100 nF + 1 µF decoupling placed within 2 mm of the pin. Control pins (SEL, CHx_SETx) should avoid floating states - SEL is internally pulled low when OPEN, but CHx_SETx pins require explicit HIGH/LOW/OPEN biasing per Table 4 and Table 5 to ensure deterministic redriver configuration.
Does the PTN36043ABXY support pin-to-pin compatibility with other NXP USB switches?
No documented pin-to-pin compatible alternatives exist for the PTN36043ABXY within NXP's portfolio. Its DHX2QFN18 footprint, 18-pin count, and specific pin assignment (e.g., dual CHx_SETx ternary inputs, separate RX/TX pairs per port) are unique to this device. While the PTN36043A family shares functional architecture, variant part numbers (e.g., PTN36043ABX) differ only in packaging or marking - not pinout or internal connectivity. Migration to another NXP switch would require PCB redesign. The PTN36043ABXY is not a drop-in replacement for TS3USB30E, PI3DBS16412, or other vendor's USB switches due to differences in pin count, signal routing, and redriver integration.
