TI launches retimers

TI has introduced three retimers which enable an extended signal range over long traces, connectors and cables without degradation of signal integrity.

These devices expand TI’s high-performance retimer portfolio, and support flexible, cost-optimized system design, enabling designers to speed their products to market while maintaining optimal performance.

The retimers improve signal quality by removing jitter and compensating loss for signals transmitting over long traces and cables.


The DP159 and TMDS181 retimers include adaptive equalization (EQ) up to 15dB, dynamically adjusting the EQ level to fine tune system performance and enable better jitter compensation.


The devices support multi-gigabit signals, such as DisplayPort and HDMI, up to 6 Gbps and operate at an extended temperature range, enabling designers to optimize performance in a wide variety of consumer, automotive and industrial equipment.

Various speed and protocol options, reprogrammable channel configuration, and scalable pin-to-pin compatibility for 1.4b and HDMI 2.0 devices enable engineers to design cost-optimized solutions with the lowest power consumption.

The DPHY440 device is A 4-by-1-Gbps MIPI camera serial interface (CSI) and display serial interface (DSI) retimer, providing over 10 times higher bandwidth than existing solutions enabling higher resolution camera images over long traces and cables.

The DP159 and TMDS181 devices include robust features such as a pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) generator and real-time diagnostic EyeScan tools for in-system validation, which engineers can configure to optimize their system design.
