Low Power, Protocol Agnostic Multirate Re-Drivers
Omni Design’s protocol and data rate agnostic re-driver IP offers a low power, low complexity alternative to traditional clock and data recovery based high speed serial interface for transmission over copper cable or FR4 PCB material. Our equalization and pre-emphasis IP is modular, designed to work with on chip termination for a solution that is easy to integrate and low power.  The re-driver can compensate for losses in cable as well as FR4 PCB trace. The unique architecture allows easy re-configuration of a channel as TX or RX as needed by the user.  We offer several IP blocks including:
We offer our IP in various process nodes including 28nm and 40nm CMOS as well as SiGe BiCMOS.  Our straightforward licensing process allows system creators to rapidly build and validate complex systems.  Please contact info@omnidesigntech.com for further details and to discuss your specific requirements.
