Diodes Incorporated has announced further additions to its extensive line of programmable multi-channel linear ReDrivers, launching three new 20Gbps devices with 1.8V voltage ratings, meeting the fast-growing USB4 Gen3, Thunderbolt 4.0 and DisplayPort 2.0 standards.
The DIODES ReDrivers PI2DPX2020, PI2DPX2023 and PI2DPX2063 are intended for use in laptops, desktop PCs, workstations, active cables, monitors and docking applications. Their low power consumption and compact, discreet packaging also make them highly optimized for tablets and notebooks.
Each of the new linear ReDrivers allows flexible adjustment of signal integrity parameters, such as equalizer and flat gain, through the various available settings. This mitigates channel loss and extends range. These devices are transparent to channel link training.
Additionally, they exhibit ultra-low latency values (<300ps).
The PI2DPX2020 supports different operating modes for maximum design flexibility. These are USB4 Gen3 20Gbps/40Gbps (x1/x2), Thunderbolt 4.0 20.625Gbps/41.25Gbps (x1/x2), USB4 Gen 2 10Gbps/20Gbps (x1/x2), USB4 lanes Gen2/2 20 Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 and 4. lanes of DisplayPort 2.0.
The PI2DPX2023 20 Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 (UHBR20) 4-lane ReDriver supports pin strap equalizer and gain parameter control, while for the PI2DPX2063 20 Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 (UHBR20), this is achieved via the I 2 Pin C interface .
These new ReDrivers have built-in automatic power saving modes. They are supplied in 32-pin W-LGA4528 packages (with dimensions of 2.85 x 4.5 x 0.7 mm) and support an industrial temperature range.
