3 Description
The SN65DP141 is an asynchronous, protocolagnostic,
low latency, four-channel linear equalizer
optimized for use up to 12 Gbps and compensates
for losses due to board traces and cables.
The device is transparent to DisplayPort (DP) link
training such a way that a DP source and a sink can
perform effective link training overcoming traditional
aux snooping re-drivers’ shortcomings. Additionally,
the device is position independent. It can be placed
inside source, cable or sink effectively providing a
negative loss component to the overall link budget.
Linear equalization inside SN65DP141 also increases
link margin when used with a receiver implementing
Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE).
SN65DP141 allows independent channel control for
equalization, gain, dynamic range using both I2C and
GPIO configurations.
