PI3DPX1202A
Low power DisplayPort 1.2 Redriver with DDC/AUX CH Switch
Description
PI3DPX1202A
is
DisplayPort 1.2 standard compliant, very
low power DP Redriver.
The device can read the Aux-channel Link Training (LT)
Swing and Pre-emphasis data between Transmitter and
Receiver, configure the output swing / Pre-emphasis, and
automatically calculates EQ based on Swing/Pre-emphasis
LT values through the built-in Aux listener. EQ can pro-
gram by the I2C serial interface.
The device can reduce signal jitter caused by transmission
line effects, and compensate for the PCB-related frequency
and switching-related loss to provide optimum DP perfor-
mance between the link.

Revision History
Changes
Release. Always Automatic EQ control through Aux channel listener or I2C programmable control mode support
Ch3: Functional description to simplify.
Ch4: Min temp changed 0 to -40 deg C for I-temp support. ICC measurement data updated with different Pre-
emphasis and Voltage swing setting condition.
Ch5: Add Aux-listener redriver latency information & power mW comparison data
Ch3: Improved Functional description
Power-up / Reset timing added in functional session
Eye waveforms by Pre channel length added in application session
