Part Number

Functional Description

 

The MAX3845 is a TMDS® 2-to-4 fanout switch and cable driver for multimonitor distribution

 

of DVI or HDMI™ ( high-definition multimedia interface) signaling up to 1.65Gbps. Both inputs

 

and outputs are standard TMDS signaling, as per DVI and HDMI standards. Because TMDS

 

links are “point-to-point,” buffering is required for fanout applications. Four DVI/HDMI TMDS

 

outputs are provided for fanout distribution. Each TMDS output can be independently

 

sourced from either input or can be turned off. Each TMDS input or output is composed of

 

four differential channels that can be arbitrarily assigned to the three data signals and the

MAX3845

1/10th-rate clock. The data rate depends on resolution, but it can vary from 250Mbps (VGA)

to 1.65Gbps (UXGA or 1080p/60).

 

Typical applications include multiroom display of the same video source, and industrial and

 

commercial signage applications such as airport monitors or trading-room floor displays. The

 

MAX3845 includes selectable output preemphasis that extends output cable reach up to an

 

additional 7m.

The MAX3814 TMDS EQ/driver compensates for FR-4 and cable losses to the DVI/HDMI

 

transmit connector, and provides a fully compliant DVI/HDMI TMDS output. The device can

MAX3814

also be used in DVI/HDMI cable applications to extend reach and improve jitter margin of

cable channels at the receive-side connector.

The MAX4814E bidirectional 2:4 HDMI switch provides routing for low-frequency signals. The

 

MAX4814E operates from a single +5.0V ±10% supply voltage and is ideal for connecting

MAX4814E

multiple HDMI sources to multiple loads.

MAX3208

The MAX3208E is a low-capacitance, ±15kV ESD-protection diode array with an integrated

 

transient voltage suppressor (TVS) clamp. The device is suitable for high-speed and general-

 

signal ESD protection. Low input capacitance makes this device ideal for ESD protection of

 

signals in HDTV; PC monitors (DVI, HDMI); PC peripherals (FireWire®, USB 2.0); server

 

interconnect (PCI Express®, Infiniband®); datacom;and interchassis interconnect.
