Diodes Incorporated has added to its comprehensive line of programmable multi-channel linear ReDrivers, offering three new 20Gbps devices with a 1.8V rating to meet the rapidly growing USB4 Gen3, Thunderbolt 4.0 and DisplayPort 2.0 standards. These new devices have built-in automatic power saving modes. They are packaged in a 32-pin W-LGA4528 package (2.85mm x 4.5mm x 0.7mm dimensions) and support the industrial temperature range.
The PI2DPX2020, PI2DPX2023 and PI2DPX2063 diode ReDrivers are targeted for use in laptop, desktop, active cable, workstation, monitor and docking applications. Their low power consumption and small, low-profile packaging make them ideal for tablets and laptops.
Each of the new Linear ReDrivers allows flexible adjustment of signal integrity parameters, such as equalizer and flat gain, through different settings available. This mitigates channel losses and increases coverage. These devices are transparent to channel link training. Additionally, they demonstrate ultra-low latency figures (<300ps).
The PI2DPX2020 supports different operating modes for maximum design flexibility. These are 20Gbps/40Gbps USB4 Gen3 (x1/x2), 20.625Gbps/41.25Gbps Thunderbolt 4.0 (x1/x2), 10Gbps/20Gbps USB4 Gen2 (x1/x2), 20Gbps USB4 Gen2/2 lanes of DisplayPort 2.0 and four lanes DisplayPort 2.0. The quad-channel PI2DPX2023 20Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 (UHBR20) ReDriver supports pins with equalizer and gain parameter control, while the PI2DPX2063 20Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 (UHBR20) is implemented through the I2C interface pins.
