Diodes has announced that it has added new strength to its large-scale programmable multi-channel linear ReDrivers product series, introducing three new 20Gbps devices with a rated voltage of 1.8V, to address the rapidly growing USB4 Gen3, Thunderbolt 4.0 and DisplayPort 2.0 standards. ReDrivers PI2DPX2020, PI2DPX2023 and PI2DPX2063 are designed for notebook computers, desktop computers, workstations, active transmission lines, displays and docking stations. Its low power consumption and compact package are also highly optimized on tablets and laptops.
Each new linear ReDriver allows elastic adjustment of signal integrity parameters, such as equalizer and flat gain, through a variety of available settings. This will reduce channel losses and expand coverage. These devices are transparent to channel link training. In addition, they exhibit ultra-low latency data (<300ps).
PI2DPX2020 supports different operation modes to achieve 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-channel DisplayPort 2.0 and 4-channel DisplayPort 2.0. The 4-channel PI2DPX2023 20Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 (UHBR20) ReDriver supports pin setting equalizer and gain parameter control, while the PI2DPX2063 20Gbps DisplayPort 2.0 (UHBR20) is implemented through the I2C interface pin.
These new ReDrivers have a built-in automatic power saving mode. They are supplied in a 32 pin W-LGA4528 package (with a size of 2.85mm x 4.5mm x 0.7mm) and support an industrial temperature range.
