DS560MB410ZAST from Texas Instruments is a 56-Gbps, 4-channel redriver with 2x2 crosspoint - Ethernet retimers, redrivers & mux-buffers. The DS560MB410 is a low-power, high-performance four-channel linear equalizer supporting multi-rate, multi-protocol interfaces up to 28 GBd using four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4), or up to 32 GBd using non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation. It is used to extend the reach and robustness of high-speed serial links for backplane, midplane, and active copper cable (ACC) applications. The DS560MB410 can increase the reach between two ASICs by 18+ dB beyond the normal ASIC-to-ASIC reach. Each channel operates independently with a user-selectable CTLE boost profile optimized for equalizing either PCB or copper cable loss profiles. The linear nature of the DS560MB410’s equalization preserves input signal characteristics traveling through the redriver. This transparency allows link partner ASICs to negotiate Tx equalizer coefficients freely during link training and to support individual lane Forward Error Correction (FEC) pass-through in mission mode with minimal effect on latency. The DS560MB410 includes a full 2×2 crosspoint between each pair of adjacent channels to enable 2-to-1 multiplexing and 1-to-2 de-multiplexing for failover redundancy, 1-to-2 fanout for diagnostic monitoring, and signal crossover (NRZ only up to 32 GBd) for PCB routing flexibility. The crosspoint is controllable through pins or the SMBus register interface. The DS560MB410’s small package dimensions and optimized high-speed signal escape are an excellent choice for small form-factor applications. Simplified equalization control, low power consumption, and ultra-low additive jitter make it suitable for chip-to-chip reach extension and signal distribution over backplanes and midplanes. The small 6.00 mm × 6.00 mm footprint easily fits in active copper cable (ACC) assembly applications without the need for a heat sink. The DS560MB410 has a single power supply and minimal need for external components. These features reduce PCB routing complexity and bill of materials (BOM) cost. The DS560MB410 can be configured through SMBus or through an external EEPROM. Up to 16 devices can share a single EEPROM.

DS160PT801ACBT from Texas Instruments is a PCIe® 4.0 16-Gbps 8-Lane (16-Channel) retimer - PCIe, SAS & SATA ICs. The DS160PT801 is a high-performance eight-lane (16-channel) PCI-Express protocol-aware retimer supporting all standard PCIe data rates up to 16 GT/s. It is used to extend the reach and robustness of high-speed PCIe serial links, from chip-to-chip motherboard links to more complex multi-connector system topologies. The DS160PT801 supports both common-clock and independent reference clock architectures, with and without spread-spectrum clocking. This allows for maximum flexibility in defining the system clock architecture. The eight lanes in the DS160PT801 can be bifurcated into two x4 links to support different system topologies. A compact yet easy-to-manufacture BGA package provides excellent thermal performance while enabling optimal placement in space-constrained applications like 1RU riser cards. This feature reduces overall solution size, PCB routing complexity, and BOM cost. Diagnostic capabilities include in-band receiver margining, out-of-band non-destructive horizontal or vertical eye margin monitor, receiver loopback, encoding error detection, and on die temperature sensor. These features help gauge link margin and can be used to monitor system health over time. The DS160PT801 is configurable through SMBus interface. The Initial configuration can be automatically loaded from external EEPROM.

TDP0604RNQT from Texas Instruments is a DP++ 6-Gbps HDMI 2.0 redriver  - HDMI, DisplayPort & MIPI ICs. The TDP0604 is a HDMI 2.0 redriver supporting data rates up to 6 Gbps. It is backwards compatible to HDMI 1.4b. The high-speed differential inputs and outputs can be either AC-coupled or DC-coupled which qualifies the TDP0604 to be used as a DP++ to HDMI level shifter or HDMI redriver. The TDP0604 is a hybrid redriver supporting both source and sink applications. A hybrid redriver can operate either in a linear or limited redriver function. When configured as a limited redriver, the TDP0604 differential output voltage levels are independent of the graphics process unit (GPU) output levels ensuring HDMI compliant levels at the receptacle. The limited redriver mode is recommended for HDMI source applications. When configured as a linear redriver, the TDP0604 differential output levels are a linear function of the GPU output levels enabling TDP0604 to be transparent to link training and operate as a channel shortener. Linear redriver mode is recommended for HDMI sink applications. The TDP0604 has an integrated HPD level shifter. The HPD level shifter will shift the 5-V HPD signal to either 1.8-V or 3.3-V. The level shifter output can also be configured for push, pull, or open-drain. Also integrated in the TDP0604 is a Digital Display Control (DDC) buffer. The DDC buffer offers capacitance isolation and level shifters 5-V DDC levels to as low as 1.2-V levels. The integration of the level shifter eliminates discrete solutions and thereby saves system cost. The TDP0604 supports single power supply rails of 3.3-V on V CC and is offered in a commercial temperature (TDP0604) and industrial temperature (TDP0604I).
