10 Gbps Data Rates Enable Faster
Communication between Devices and 8Kx4K Video Output ideal for VR
and AR Applications
Analogix Semiconductor, Inc. today announced the availability of
its ANX7440/30 family, the first integrated solution capable of
switching DisplayPort™ version 1.3 and 1.4 at 8.1 gigabits per
second (Gbps), as well as USB 3.1 Generation 2 (Gen2) 10 Gbps
signals to support a single USB-C™ port.

The new product family includes:
- ANX7440 – integrated 10 Gbps re-timer
and USB-C switch for DisplayPort over USB-C™ ports;
- ANX7430 – integrated 10 Gbps re-timer
and USB-C switch for USB 3.1 Gen2 USB-C ports.
Leveraging Analogix’s competence in high-speed signaling and
designed to the latest USB 3.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and Intel USB 3.1
Repeater and Active Switch specifications, the ANX7440/30 is
cost-effective, low power, and offers best in class
performance:
- Integrated USB 3.1 re-timer,
DisplayPort HBR3 re-timer, 6x4 10 Gbps mux, and SBU/AUX mux for
USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode applications;
- Loss compensation to recover up to 23dB
channel loss for USB 3.1 Gen2 10 Gbps and up to 20dB channel loss
for DisplayPort HBR3 8.1 Gbps;
- Simplifies PCB routing for 10 Gbps
notebook, desktop PC, and USB 3.1 enabled mobile device docking
station designs.
“Graphics processors across computing devices are now available
supporting 8.1 Gbps link bandwidth, featured in DisplayPort version
1.3 and 1.4, which delivers unsurpassed video and audio
performance,” said Bill Lempesis, Executive Director at VESA.
“Signal conditioners like the ANX7440/30, help to implement this
feature over a wide range of devices, so it can be expanded to
mainstream consumer devices.”
“Such high data transfer rate over the USB-C connector raises
the bar in many applications,” said Andre Bouwer, vice president of
marketing for Analogix. “For example, using the ANX7440/30 greatly
improves performance of USB 3.1 external hard drives connected
through a docking station. Also, DisplayPort over USB-C allows
devices to output video resolutions up to 8Kx4K which is one of the
key elements in delivering an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) or
Augmented Reality (AR) experience. ANX7440/30’s ability to recover
and reinstate high-speed signals reduces the thickness and enables
longer cables to be used in these applications.”
The ANX7440/30 family will sample in Q4 2016 and ship in mass
production in Q2 2017, as such it is perfect for Intel Cannonlake
platforms.
