HDMI/DVI Buffer with equalization

The AD8195 HDMI/DVI buffer can implement a complete HDMI 1.3-compliant interface on a single chip. It routes an HDMI (high-definition-multimedia-interface) or DVI (digital-visual-interface) input link—comprising four TMDS (transition-minimized-differential-signaling) channels—to an output link. Input equalization and output pre-emphasis make possible the use of long (>20-m) cables. Supporting data rates up to 2.25 Gbps and pixel clocks up to 225 MHz, it enables DVI resolutions up to UXGA (1600 × 1200) and HDMI formats up to 1080p deep color. It also buffers a 3-channel bidirectional auxiliary link—for the DDC (display-data-channel) bus and CEC (consumer electronics control) line The auxiliary buffer is powered independently of the TDMS link, maintaining DDC/CCE functionality when the TMDS link is powered off. Operating with 3.3-V and 5-V supplies, the AD8195 consumes 736 mW with output enabled and maximum pre-emphasis, 180 mW with output enabled and no pre-emphasis, and 116 mW with output disabled. Available in a 40-lead LFCSP package, it is specified from –40°C to +85°C and priced at $1.95 in 1000s.

2:1 HDMI/DVI Switch with equalization and DDC/CEC buffers

The AD8192 buffered HDMI/DVI switch selects one of two HDMI (high-definition-multimedia-interface) or DVI (digital-visual-interface) input links—each comprising four TMDS (transition-minimized-differential-signaling) channels—and routes it to a common output link. Input equalization and output pre-emphasis make possible the use of long (>20-m) cables. Supporting data rates up to 2.25 Gbps and pixel clocks up to 225 MHz, it enables DVI resolutions up to UXGA (1600 × 1200) and HDMI formats up to 1080p deep color. It also selects one of two bidirectional auxiliary links—for the DDC (display-data-channel) bus and CEC (consumer electronics control) line—thus implementing a complete HDMI 1.3-compliant interface on a single chip. The auxiliary buffers are powered independently of the TDMS link, maintaining DDC/CCE functionality when the TMDS link is powered off. Operating with 3.3-V and 5-V supplies, the AD8192 consumes 881 mW with outputs enabled and maximum pre-emphasis, 545 mW with outputs enabled and no pre-emphasis, and 215 mW with outputs disabled. Available in a 56-lead LFCSP package, it is specified from –40°C to +85°C and priced at $2.32 in 1000s.

Low-power HDMI/DVI Transmitter with consumer electronic control

The ADV7520 low-power 80-MHz HDMI/DVI transmitter supports HDTV formats up to 720p/1080i and graphic resolutions up to XGA (1024 × 768 @ 75 Hz), making it ideal for digital cameras, personal media players, and other portable applications. Compatible with HDMI v1.3, DVI v1.0, and HDCP v1.3 protocols, the transmitter supports S/PDIF for stereo- or compressed audio and I2S for 7.1-channel surround sound at up to 192 kHz. System design is simplified by on-chip support for high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) with embedded keys, extended display identification data (EDID), and consumer electronics control (CEC)—which allows a user to control multiple CEC-enabled boxes with one remote, and individual CEC-enabled boxes to control each other. Operating on a single 1.8-V supply, the ADV7520 accepts 1.8-V to 3.3-V audio- and video signals—and provides 5-V tolerance on the I2C and hot-plug detect pins. Available in a 64-lead LFCSP package, it is specified from –25°C to +85°C and priced at $4.89 in 1000s.

3-W high-efficiency, filterless monophonic Class-D Audio Amplifier with ALC

The SSM2317 monophonic Class-D audio amplifier can deliver 3.11 W of continuous output power into a 3-ohm load—or 1.42 W into an 8-ohm load—with 93% efficiency, 93-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and less than 1% distortion, allowing it to directly drive speakers in mobile phones, MP3 players, and other battery-powered portable devices. Its design minimizes clicks and pops, turn-on glitches, and EMI emissions—and provides thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection. The fully differential input signal path has an 18-dB nominal gain, which can be reduced by adding two external resistors. Listeners can activate automatic level control (ALC) to suppress clipping and improve dynamic range. Operating on a single 2.5-V to 5.0-V supply, the SSM2317 consumes 3.2 mA in normal mode and 20 nA in shutdown mode. Available in a 9-lead WLCSP package, it is specified from –40°C to +85°C and priced at $0.90 in 1000s.
