Abstract:
A redriver system adapted for coupling to a first device and to a second device includes first and second transmitter drivers and a snoop circuit. The first transmitter driver has a first enable input. The second transmitter driver has a second enable input. The snoop circuit is coupled to the first and second enable inputs. The snoop circuit is configured to determine whether the first device and the second device are to operate according to a first protocol. Responsive to the snoop circuit determining that the first and second devices are to operate according to the first protocol, the snoop circuit enables the first transmitter driver and disables the second transmitter driver. Responsive to the snoop circuit determining that the first and second devices are not to operate according to the first protocol, the snoop circuit disables the first transmitter driver and enables the second transmitter driver.
