RD1011 is a bidirectional active USB Type-CTM (USB-C) cable, which includes two paddle cards, each with an ANX7451 device on it. The ANX7451 is a 4x4 re-timing mux capable of switching DisplayPort (DP) and USB3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps signals to support a single USB Type-CTM (USB-CTM) port. The RD1011 design can recover both the USB and DP signals with loss compensation of up to 23dB and 27dB respectively. The RD1011 includes two ANX7410 devices, which act as an on-board programmable MCU and eMarker chip. With ANX7410, ANX7451 can be initiated with optimal settings that enable the RD1011 design to cover 4-meter at 28AWG cable length. RD1011 can be used with any USB-C port on any of the display monitors, docking stations and VR HMDs.

USB Type-C™ Power Delivery v3.0 Controller with De-Mux (USB/DP)
Overview:
ANX7327 is a USB-PD v3.0 port controller with an integrated de-mux that supports switching at data rates of up to 10Gbps. ANX7327 supports high-speed interfaces, such as USB 3.1 (Gen 1 – 5Gbps, Gen 2 – 10Gbps) and DisplayPort™ (DP) 1.4 at up to HBR3 (8.1Gbps). ANX7327 is designed to be placed behind a USB Type-C (USB-C™) receptacle of a USB-C accessory or HDTV or monitor USB-C port. The USB-C port with the embedded IC device behind it enables a passive USB-C cable connectivity between any USB-C source and the accessory or HDTV or monitor to further the USB-C functions to a display or data connectivity downstream. On the source side, when paired with a re-timer mux such as the ANX7440, the ANX7327/7440 combo solution can enable a USB-C full function port with CPUs that have integrated USB-C mux. An On-chip Microcontroller (OCM) is available to manage the signal switching, Channel Configuration (CC) detection, USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) charging and Vendor Defined Message (VDM) protocol, and other functions, as defined in the USB Type-C v1.2 and USB Power Delivery v3.0 specifications. ANX7327 can be configured for an Upstream Facing Port (UFP) to support a USB-C receptacle. When paired with a DP-to-HDMI/VGA bridge (such as the ANX7737/9837), the ANX7327 creates an ideal solution for USB Type-C dongle, docking, HDTV, and monitor applications.
