The PS8311QFN48GTR-A0, manufactured by Parade Technologies, is a DisplayPort 1.4 re-timer specifically designed for USB Type-C applications utilizing DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). This device is critical for maintaining signal integrity when transmitting high-bandwidth video signals over the USB-C interface, especially in demanding applications like high-resolution displays and extended cable lengths.

Applications

• USB-C enabled laptops and desktops
• Docking stations
• Monitors with USB-C input
• USB-C to DisplayPort adapters
• Virtual Reality (VR) headsets

Features

• DisplayPort 1.4 compliant
• Supports High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) up to 8.1 Gbps per lane
• Integrated re-timer with adaptive equalization
• USB Type-C DisplayPort Alt Mode support
• Low power consumption
• 48-pin QFN package

Benefits

• Ensures reliable DisplayPort signal transmission over USB-C
• Compensates for signal loss and jitter
• Supports high-resolution displays (4K, 5K, and 8K)
• Extends the reach of DisplayPort signals
• Enhances the performance of USB-C display connectivity

The PS8311QFN48GTR-A0 re-timer actively compensates for signal degradation caused by PCB traces, connectors, and cables. This is achieved through adaptive equalization, which dynamically adjusts the signal to minimize inter-symbol interference (ISI) and ensure a clean and reliable DisplayPort signal at the receiving end. By supporting HBR3 data rates, the device enables the use of high-resolution displays with high refresh rates over USB-C.

The device is essential for devices that output DisplayPort signals via USB-C. The 48-pin QFN package offers a small footprint and excellent thermal performance, making it suitable for integration into space-constrained designs. Its low power consumption is particularly beneficial for mobile devices and laptops. The PS8311QFN48GTR-A0 is a vital component in ensuring a seamless and high-performance DisplayPort experience over the USB-C interface, enabling users to connect to high-resolution displays and enjoy crisp, clear visuals without signal degradation. Its robust features and compliance with industry standards make it a reliable choice for manufacturers seeking to deliver superior display connectivity in their products.
