Descrtption
The PRA1604 is a ‘smart’ cable booster for high-speed HDMI (1.4) cable applications, targeting ultra-portable devices that typically use C or D type connectors at the source, such as SmartPhones,web-tablets etc. It utilizes RedMere’s unique semiconductor technology to enable 10.2Gbps HDMI cables. Data rates up to 3.4Gbps are supported per channel.
On-board active equalization individually compensates for signal attenuation on each of the differential inputs up to 3.4Gbps. This is achieved without requiring an external power source.
This enables the implementation of an extremely robust design which will pass HDMI ATC certification.
The ‘smarts’ embedded in the PRA1604 also facilitates a simple and effective production test of each cable on the production line without requiring expensive ATC equivalent equipment, enabled by RedMere’s VerifEye.
The PRA1604 is a compact module which fits inside the sink-side casing of an active HDMI cable assembly. Limited samples are available on request
