Overview

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.

Features
  • Bi-directional USB-C to DisplayPort
  • Supports VESA DisplayPort Alt Mode to USB-C
  • UFP and DFP configuration
  • Integrated USB Billboard
  • Operates over entire VCONN range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V
  • Supports up to 5 meter DisplayPort cable
