SN65DP149: Alternate part request

Part Number: SN65DP149
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDP142, TDP2004, TDP0604

Hi TI Team.

We have been using this part no :SN65DP141RLJR (link: https://www.digikey.in/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/SN65DP141RLJR/5973303)for Display port interface(Video Redriver). But the part is obsolete now. we request you to provide exact alternate for this part ensuring same footprint, functionalities and pinouts

  • **White check mark Answer: No exact pin-to-pin / footprint / functionality replacement exists.**

    The **SN65DP141RLJR** (DisplayPort 1.4 Linear Redriver) has been discontinued by Texas Instruments. According to TI’s official responses in their E2E forum and distributor notifications, the entire SN65DP141 family is going EOL.

    ### TI Recommended Alternatives

    TI has suggested the following parts as functional replacements:

    | Part Number | Max Speed | Type | Pin-to-Pin Compatible? | Key Differences | Recommendation |
    |-------------------|---------------|-------------------|------------------------|------------------|----------------|
    | **TDP142** | DP 1.4 (8.1 Gbps) | Linear Redriver | **No** | Similar functionality, different package/pinout | **Best functional match** for your current design |
    | **TDP2004** | DP 2.1 (20 Gbps)| Linear Redriver | **No** | Newer generation, higher speed support | Good for future-proofing |
    | TDP0604 | DP 1.4 + HDMI | Redriver + Level Shifter | No | Can handle DP++ to HDMI conversion | Only if you need HDMI support |

    **Important**: None of these are **drop-in replacements**. They have different pinouts and packages, so a PCB layout change will be required.

    ### Summary of Differences

    | Feature | SN65DP141 (Obsolete) | TDP142 (Recommended) | TDP2004 |
    |---------------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------|
    | **DisplayPort Version** | DP 1.4 (HBR3) | DP 1.4 (HBR3) | DP 2.1 (UHBR20) |
    | **Data Rate** | Up to 8.1 Gbps | Up to 8.1 Gbps | Up to 20 Gbps |
    | **Type** | Linear Redriver | Linear Redriver | Linear Redriver |
    | **Pin-to-Pin** | - | No | No |
    | **Package** | 38-WQFN (RLJ) | Different | Different |
    | **EQ / Pre-emphasis** | Configurable | Configurable | More advanced |
    | **Power Consumption** | Low | Similar | Slightly higher |
    | **Status** | Obsolete | Active | Active |

    ### Recommendations

    1. **Best Immediate Option**:
    Switch to **TDP142**. It is the closest functional replacement for DisplayPort 1.4 redriver applications.

    2. **Future-Proof Option**:
    Use **TDP2004** if you want to support higher-speed DisplayPort 2.1 in future designs.

    3. **Next Steps**:
    - Download the datasheets for **TDP142** and **TDP2004** and compare pinouts with your current layout.
    - Contact your TI FAE / local sales for:
    - Official recommendation
    - Any possible last-time-buy (LTB) quantity for SN65DP141RLJR
    - Evaluation boards/samples of TDP142 or TDP2004
    - Consider whether you can accept a small PCB respin (most customers do this when moving from SN65DP141).

    Would you like me to:
    - Compare the pinouts between SN65DP141 and TDP142?
    - Suggest possible third-party alternatives (e.g., from Diodes Inc. / Parade)?
    - Help evaluate the TDP142 / TDP2004 based on your specific DisplayPort version and trace length?
