USB-C™ to DisplayPort Active Cable Reference Design
Texas Instruments
The USB-C™ to DisplayPort Active Cable reference design is a framework that can enable DisplayPort video signaling over a USB-C connection. Traditionally: DisplayPort connectors are the only way to transfer DisplayPort video but this connector can be large and are not ideal for small electronics. While a smaller USB Type-C connector allows DisplayPort video to transfer from smaller electronics: these cables are shorter: ranging from 1 – 2 meters in length. This design features DisplayPort video transfers over 5-meter cables with a single USB-C cable connection: enabling –DisplayPort communication between legacy DisplayPort sink to new USB-C source.
