It takes only 680 mW and has auto slumber and stand-by modes. The DisplayPort 1.2 ReDriver supports up to 5.4 Gbits/s across four lanes for a total bandwidth of 17.28 Gbits/s and offers automatic power management, auto EQ adjustment, auto data-rate, support for Aux link training, and is comes in a 7 x 7 mm TQFN package.
