The SN65DP141 is an asynchronous, protocol-agnostic, low latency, four-channel linear equalizer optimized for use up to 12 Gbps. The characteristics of this device make it transparent to DisplayPort (DP) link training. It supports all the available DP bit rates from RBR to UHBR10 (1.6 Gbps, 2.7 Gbps, 5.4 Gbps, 8.1 Gbps, and 10.0 Gbps respectively). Additionally, the SN65DP141 is configurable to a trace or cable mode, and hence improves its performance depending on the type of channel it is being used. Its transparency to the DP link training makes the SN65DP141 a position independent device, suitable for source/sink or cable applications, effectively providing a negative loss component to the overall link budget, in order to compensate the signal degradation over the channel.

The SN65DP141 is configurable by means of I²C and GPIOs, allowing independent channel control for activation, equalization, gain, and dynamic range.
