Product Overview
The SN65DP159 is a Texas Instruments HDMI level shifter retimer for Signal_Chain designs that convert or condition AC-coupled TMDS or DisplayPort Dual-Mode inputs into an HDMI 2.0b TMDS physical layer output. It supports HDMI 1.4b, HDMI 2.0b, DVI 1.0, and DisplayPort dual-mode Version 1.1 Type 1 and Type 2 operation through the DDC link or AUX channel.
For signal conditioning, the device includes an adaptive receiver equalizer, a programmable fixed equalizer up to 16.5 dB, integrated CDR, and an integrated TMDS level translator. It can automatically operate as a redriver below 1 Gbps and as a retimer above 1 Gbps, with that automatic feature disabled through I2C programming when required.
The SN65DP159 supports 6 Gbps per data lane, Ultra HD 4K x 2K at 60 Hz with 8 bits per color, and 16-bit color depth at 1080p. Configuration is available through I2C or pin straps, with active I2C buffering, Type-2 I2C-over-AUX to DDC bridge support, main lane input swap, and pre-emphasis, transmit swing, and slew rate control. The SN65DP159 package option is a 48-pin VQFN, 0.5 mm pitch, 7 mm x 7 mm device.
