3 Description
The SNx5DP159 device is a dual mode[1]
DisplayPort to transition-minimized differential signal
(TMDS) retimer supporting digital video interface
(DVI) 1.0 and high-definition multimedia interface
(HDMI) 1.4b and 2.0b output signals. The
SNx5DP159 device supports the dual mode standard
version 1.1 type 1 and type 2 through the DDC link or
AUX channel. The SNx5DP159 device supports data
rate up to 6-Gbps per data lane to support Ultra HD
(4K × 2K / 60-Hz) 8-bits per color high-resolution
video and HDTV with 16-bit color depth at 1080p
(1920 × 1080 / 60-Hz). The SNx5DP159 device can
automatically configure itself as a re-driver at data
rates <1 Gbps, or as a retimer at more than this data
rate. This feature can be turned off through I2C[4]
programming.
For signal integrity, the SNx5DP159 device
implements several features. The SNx5DP159
receiver supports both adaptive and fixed
equalization to clean up inter-symbol interference
(ISI) jitter or loss from the bandwidth-limited board
traces or cables. When working as a retimer, the
embedded clock data recovery (CDR) cleans up the
input high frequency and random jitter from video
source. The transmitter provides several features for
passing compliance and reducing system-level
design issues like de-emphasis, which compensates
for the attenuation when driving long cables or highloss
board traces. The SNx5DP159 device also
includes TMDS output amplitude adjust using an
external resistor on the Vsadj pin, source termination
selection, and output slew rate control. Device
operation and configuration can be programmed by
pin strapping or I2C[4].
The SNx5DP159 device implements several methods
for power management and active power reduction.
