Industry’s 1st Retimer to Fully Enable USB4 / DP 2.0 / TBT 3.0
Parade Technologies, Ltd., a leading high-speed interface, video display, and touch controller IC supplier, announces the availability of the PS8830 USB4 retimer for commercial and consumer PCs, host systems and peripherals. The PS8830 features full capabilities of USB4, DisplayPort 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3.0. This allows OEMs to offer a wide range of product offerings with future-proof platform longevity.
“OEMs can offer multiple product tiers while standardizing on a full-feature retimer solution like the PS8830. This saves development time and costs to upgrade, for example to DP 2.0 if using a retimer solution capable of only DP 1.4a today.”
The PS8830 is fully compliant with USB-IF’s USB4 specification supporting up to Gen 3×2 (2x 20Gbps) or 40Gbps. It supports USB4 tunneling of DP 1.4a and USB 3.2 as well as alternate modes including DP 2.0 up to UHBR20 and TBT 3.0 up to 41.25Gbps (2x 20.625Gbps). PS8830 will fall back to USB 3.2 mode when USB4 mode is not supported.
