Abstract
A redriver device is provided to receive signals from a first device and forward the signals to a second device on a differential link. Detection circuitry is provided to detect presence of the second device on the link by detecting a pulldown voltage generated from termination of the second device on the link, and pulldown relay circuitry is provided to generate an emulated version of the pulldown voltage of the second device on pins to connect to the first device in response to detecting presence of the second device on the link.
