The ANX74xx family of products offers high signal throughput on PC motherboards and USB / DisplayPort cables and is platform independent and ensures signal integrity, making it the first USB-C re-timer to hit the PC and accessory markets Demand According to IHS projections, the number of USB-C ports in the PC market will reach 514 million by 2018 and will grow to 622 million by 2019. IHS also predicts that more than half of USB-C ports will support DisplayPort Alternate Mode and 10Gbps high-speed signal transmission, and these must have the help of USB-C re-timer.In addition, the USB-A port is converted to USB3.1, also can not do without re-timer.
The ANX74xx product family includes the following products: ANX7440 - Integrated 10Gbps re-timer and USB-C switcher for DisplayPort over USB-C ™ ports for Intel, AMD, Nvidia CPUs and GPUs that support single USB-C ports ANX7430 - Integrated 10Gbps re-timer and USB-C switcher for USB 3.1 Gen2 USB-C ports ANX7490 - Integrated 10Gbps re-timer for USB 3.1 Gen2 USB Type-A, Type-B and USB Type-C ports ANX7496 - Integrated 8.1Gbps DisplayPort re-timer for mini-DP, standard DisplayPort and USB-C ports.
The ANX74xx family is a Silicon Valley digital-to-analog capable of high-speed signal transmission. It is compatible with specifications such as USB 3.1, DisplayPort 1.4, Intel USB 3.1 Repeater and Active Switch. It offers cost-effective, low-power features that deliver the following performance : Integrated USB 3.1 re-timer, DisplayPort HBR3 re-timer, 6x4 10 Gbps multiplexer and SBU / AUX multiplexer for USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode applications; up to USB 3.1 Gen2 10 Gbps 23dB channel loss compensation; up to 20dB of channel loss at DisplayPort HBR3 8.1Gbps; simplified PCB layout design for 10Gbps notebooks, zhuomianPC and USB 3.1 mobile device docking stations.
Computing device graphics processors are now beginning to support 8.1Gbps link bandwidth, providing unprecedented audio and video performance. ANX74xx family of products as a signal conditioner that can help different devices to achieve this goal is expected to be used in mainstream consumer devices and scenarios. For example, the ANX7440 dramatically improves the performance of an external USB3.1 hard drive connected through an extended docking station.
In addition, the ANX7440 re-timer with integrated USB-C toggle switch is also used in the design of VR head-mounted systems with legacy interfaces such as HDMI and standard DisplayPort but with the need to connect USB-C devices.
The ANX7440, ANX7496, and ANX7490 provide the ability to recover high-speed signals, reducing the need for VR cable cross-sections, allowing for the use of thinner cables and connecting the high performance of VR head-mounted display devices and smartphones, PCs and game consoles The allowable length of the cable from 2 meters, 5 meters to 25 meters.
Because smartphones and TVs are beginning to move toward high-speed USB-C ports, Silicon Valley's re-timer solutions are especially needed to ensure reliable signal transmission. IHS predicts that in 2018, there will be as many as 644 million mobile devices using USB-C , And this figure will be 1.17 billion by 2019. Of these devices, the share of devices with DisplayPort-enabled USB-C ports will increase from 24% in 2018 to 38% in 2019 , Because USB-C higher transmission speed, behind because of re-timer support.
