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.
