General description
PTN36502/PTN36502A is a Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 1/ DP1.2 combo redriver that is
optimized for USB 3.1 Gen 1 and DisplayPort applications on either the Downstream
Facing Port (DFP) or Upstream Facing Port (UFP) by following the four high-speed
differential data flows to extend the signal reach.
PTN36502/PTN36502A addresses high-speed signal quality enhancement requirements
for implementation of a USB Type-C interface in a platform that supports the VESA
DisplayPort Alt Mode Standard v1.0a, includes a DisplayPort Branch or Sink function.
PTN36502/PTN36502A has three ternary (3-level) configuration pins (SCL/C1, SDA/
C2 and EN), and depending on the state of EN pin during Power-On Reset (POR),
2
the device gets into GPIO mode or I C mode. When EN is driven LOW during POR,
PTN36502/PTN36502A operates under GPIO mode, and these three ternary pins are
used to configure DFP/UFP configuration followed by mode setting (USB 3.1 Gen 1 and
DisplayPort TX and RX function selection), as well as selecting receive equalization,
transmit de-emphasis and output swing level. To support applications that require greater
2
level of configurability, PTN36502/PTN36502A can operate in I C mode when EN pin is
left open (OPEN/NC) during POR.
For DisplayPort (DP) operation, PTN36502/PTN36502A has a built-in internal crossbar
function that can swap AUXP and AUXN signals for supporting plug orientation.
PTN36502/PTN36502A monitors the AUX transactions and adjusts the DisplayPort
transmitter’s output swing and emphasis setting during DP Link training accordingly.
PTN36502/PTN36502A has built-in advanced power management capability that enables
significant power saving under USB 3.1 Gen 1 Low power modes (U2/U3). It can detect
LFPS signaling and link electrical conditions and can dynamically activate/deactivate
internal circuitry and logic. The device performs these actions without host software
intervention and conserves power. The host processor keeps PTN36502/PTN36502A in
deep power saving or USB operation mode until DP Alt mode is entered.
PTN36502/PTN36502A is powered from a 1.8 V supply and it is available in an extremely
thin HX2QFN24 package with 2.4 mm x 3.2 mm x 0.35 mm and 0.4 mm pitch.

Functional description
7.1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 operation
PTN36502/PTN36502A supports USB redriver operation at 5 Gbps. The receive
equalization, transmit output swing and de-emphasis settings are configured via GPIO or
2
I C register settings.
PTN36502/PTN36502A has implemented an advanced power management scheme
that operates in tune with USB 3.1 Gen 1 Bus electrical condition. Though the device
does not decode USB power management commands (related to USB 3.1 Gen 1 U1/
U2/U3 transitions) exchanged between USB Host and Peripheral/Device, it relies on
bus electrical conditions and control pins/register settings to decide to be in one of the
following states:
• Active state wherein device is fully operational. In this state, USB connection exists and
the Receive Termination remains active.
• Power-saving state wherein some portions of the TX and RX channels are kept
enabled. In this state, squelching, LFPS detection and/or Receive termination detection
circuitry are active. Based on USB connection, there are two possibilities:
– No USB connection (also called Rx-detect state)
– Receive Termination detection circuitry keeps polling periodically
– RX and TX signal paths (including squelch detector) are not enabled
– Receive Termination is not active
– DC Common mode voltage level is not maintained
– When USB connection exists and when the link is in USB U2/U3 mode,
– Receive Termination detection circuitry keeps polling periodically
– RX and TX signal paths are not enabled; squelch detector is enabled
– Receive Termination is active
– DC Common mode voltage level is maintained
7.2 DisplayPort v1.2 operation
PTN36502/PTN36502A supports DisplayPort redriver operation at 1.62 Gbps, 2.7 Gbps
and 5.4 Gbps, with 2-tap pre-emphasis, pre-emphasis levels 0 to 3 and output swing
levels 0 to 3.
The DisplayPort mode is selected only when DP Alternate mode has been entered by
the host controller. Until then, PTN36502/PTN36502A stays in deep power saving or
USB 3.1 Gen 1 only mode. The DisplayPort source can activate power down via AUX
command.
The DisplayPort link rate, lane count, transmit output swing and pre-emphasis settings
are configured autonomously during DisplayPort link training phase based on AUX
communication exchanges between Source and Sink. In addition, the host can configure
2
these settings via I C interface.
Table 4 illustrates the various combinations allowed and supported in DisplayPort modes.
The host AP shall configure the settings only based on valid combinations listed in this
table. Note PTN36502/PTN36502A does not check if combination is valid while being
configured.

It is possible that only a subset of lanes gets selected during DP Link training and
remaining lanes are not active. Depending on the number of lanes selected, PTN36502/
PTN36502A is configured to operate with the selected lane count thereby saving power
consumption on unused lanes.
7.2.1 AUX crossbar switch
PTN36502/PTN36502A implements AUX crossbar switch with low insertion loss and
RON. All AUX traffic is passively passed through from one side to another. The switch
can be configured for ‘pass through’ mode or ‘pass through with cross’ mode. The host
2
processor can configure the switch via GPIO or I C-bus interface. By default, the switch
is in Hi-Z state at power-on reset.
7.2.2 AUX monitoring and configuration
PTN36502/PTN36502A monitors DP AUX communication exchanges that occur between
DP source and DP sink and passes the AUX data in either direction (Source to sink and
Sink to source). In particular, it detects for AUX communication involving DPCD register
controls – Lane count, Link rate, Transmit output swing, Transmit pre-emphasis level,
Sleep, Wake, etc. and configures its operation suitably. It also performs inversion as
required for plug orientation in DFP configurations. At DP AUX PHY level, the required
local biasing and AC coupling capacitance are implemented.
When PTN36502/PTN36502A is placed in DFP mode, the polarity of internal AUX
monitoring signal follows the orientation of the cable connector plugged in. For example,
if the orientation is reversed on the Type-C connector, signals presented on DAUXP and
DAUXN pins will be interpreted as AUXN and AUXP signals internally.
When PTN36502/PTN36502A is placed in UFP mode, the polarity of internal AUX
monitoring signal is fixed regardless of orientation of cable connector plugged in. Signals
presented on DAUXP and DAUXN pins are interpreted as AUXP and AUXN signals
internally.
The list of DPCD registers (with only the relevant bit fields) supported are as follows:
• LINK_BW_SET
• LANE_COUNT_SET
• TRAINING_LANEx_SET (x=0-3) (the DP source issues this command after sending
the specific training pattern and so, the redriver must target very small delay)
• SET POWER
2
• Other DPCD registers and I C over AUX transactions are not decoded
The applied values are expected to be within the capabilities of PTN36502/PTN36502A.
In case GPU sends out LANE_COUNT_SET =0 during AUX training, it is necessary to
2
program I C register 0x06 to value of 0x06 after entering DP modes (either mode 2 or 3).

For each pin assignment configuration below, PTN36502/PTN36502A controls which
transmitters or receivers to turn on or turn off, and operating in USB 3.1 Gen 1 mode, or
DisplayPort mode according to the mode setting.
A typical dongle has a fixed orientation design, usually the normal orientation. Therefore,
only one CC line is connected on the USB Type-C plug, and the other CC line is being
used for VCONN purpose. PTN36502/PTN36502A offers both normal and reversed
orientation pin outs, and can be adapted to different layout requirements. However, in a
typical dongle use case, only one orientation is necessary.

7.6 Control and programmability
PTN36502/PTN36502A implements ternary control IO logic on EN, C1/SCL, C2/SDA
control pins to detect HIGH (connected to VDD), LOW (connected to GND) or left
2
unconnected condition (OPEN/NC). These pins are 3.3 V tolerant in I C mode, and 1.8 V
tolerant in GPIO mode.
The following sections describe the individual block functions and capabilities of the
device in more detail. In general, depending on the EN transition, there are specific
functions for each transition state. Figure 6 and Figure 7 illustrate transitions described
above. Hi-Z and OPEN/NC are used interchangeably in these figures.

7.6.1 Operating mode selection (I C mode or GPIO mode)
Upon POR, PTN36502/PTN36502A starts to detect the state of EN pin. If EN is
not driven (or left OPEN) during POR, PTN36502/PTN36502A defaults to operate
2
2
2
in I C mode, and EN pin has no function after entering I C mode. In I C mode,
PTN36502/PTN36502A is highly programmable. For more information, please reference
2
Section 7.6.6 for I C register details.
If EN is driven LOW during POR (through a GPIO from host processor or external
pull down resistor), the PTN36502/PTN36502A will be placed in GPIO mode. At the
same time, PTN36502/PTN36502A is configured in DFP, UFP, or UFP_Dongle modes
depending on SCL/C1 and SDA/C2 pins’ status (refer to Table 11 below). By default, the
chip is disabled in deep power saving mode after DFP/UFP/UFP_Dongle configuration
is detected. In the deep power saving mode, all PTN36502/PTN36502A line drivers and
input receive paths are terminated to ground with hi-ohmic resistors and AUX switches
are tri-stated, and mode configuration remains undetermined.

7.6.2 Mode configuration through GPIO mode
Table 12, Table 13, and Table 14 show seven possible modes in which PTN36502/
PTN36502A can be configured while operating in DFP, UFP, or UFP plug modes
respectively. Note that mode configuration setting is latched when EN transition from 0
to 1. When the mode needs to be reconfigured (for example, change from USB 3.1 Gen
1+DP2Lane mode to DP4Lane mode) after EN is 1, a GPIO controller can toggle EN
pin to Hi-Z first and back to high again with new mode presented on SCL/C1 and SDA/
