A signal switch provides signal multiplex or de-multiplex function in order to redirect the transmitted signals to same connection port (multiplex switch) or different connection ports (de-multiplex switch).

A USB signal conditioner is an active signal regenerator which utilizes equalizer and amplifier to reshape the bypassed signal in order to remove jitters and reopen the differential signal eyes for longer channel transmission and reduce the bit error rate.

NXP's USB Type-C shield board combined with a Kinetis Power Delivery SDK allows you to tether a USB Type-C connector to any Kinetis development platform. This dramatically shortens the learning curve by leveraging NXP's “ready to play” hardware and SDK library, the only solution like it in the market.
