Parade PS8833 USB4/TBT4 Retimer Ships in AI PCs with AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series Processors

Parade Technologies, Ltd. (Taiwan OTC: 4966.TWO), a leading high-speed interface, video display, and touch controller IC supplier, announces PS8833 USB4/TBT4 retimer shipping in AI PCs powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, which feature the new “Zen 5” high performance CPU cores and integrated AI engine for enhanced AI performance. USB4 is becoming ubiquitous on notebook and desktop PCs.

The PS8833 USB4/TBT4 retimer is optimized for AMD’s new AI enhanced processor platform. It also allows OEMs to easily upgrade existing platforms from the PS8830 USB3/TBT4 retimer to extend product longevity. The PS8833 is compliant with USB-IF USB4 specification up to Gen 3 or 40Gbps (2x 20Gbps) and Thunderbolt 4 featuring TBT 3.0 up to 41.25Gbps (2x 20.625Gbps). USB4 tunneling of DP 1.4a and USB 3.2, and DP 2.1 alt mode up to UHBR20 are supported. PS8833 features low power consumption in USB4 operation and low power states, greatly extending battery power operations.

Customer implementations of AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor platform may also include Parade PS8419/PS8219/PS8210 HDMI 2.1 pin compatible retimer/redrivers for enhanced HDMI connectivity, and PS8811 USB3.2 Gen 2 retimer for USB-A connectivity, benefiting from the proven performance and industry leading compatibility.

“Through extensive support for multi-generations of AMD Ryzen APU platforms, we have enabled USB4/TBT4, a complex and challenging high-speed technology for our mutual customers,” says Jimmy Chiu, Executive VP of Marketing at Parade Technologies. “OEMs can readily offer AI PCs with AMD AI 300 processor and the PS8833 USB4/TBT4 retimer along with the PS8419/PS8219/PS8210 HDMI 2.1 retimer/redriver and PS8811 USB-A 3.2 retimer solutions. This allows for ease of design and greatly reduces development time and cost.”
