Diodes Incorporated Launches 12 Gbps Multiplexer for Server Systems
Diodes Incorporated Unveils the PI3HDX12221B: Advancing HDMI 2.1 Signal Integrity
Diodes Incorporated has introduced the PI3HDX12221B, a state-of-the-art non-blocking linear 2:1 active multiplexer (mux) that not only maintains but also enhances the integrity of HDMI 2.1 signals. Designed specifically for 4-channel HDMI applications, this device supports data rates of up to 12 Gbps in accordance with the HDMI 2.1 standard, making it an essential component for high-performance audio-visual setups.
One of the standout features of the PI3HDX12221B is its ability to compensate for insertion losses within the transmission channel. The device offers a maximum equalizer gain of up to +8.8 dB and +5.5 dB, effectively addressing any degradation that may occur during signal transmission. This capability ensures that users benefit from optimized performance and reliable signal delivery, especially crucial for high-definition applications.
As a non-blocking linear ReDriver, the PI3HDX12221B guarantees that differential signals are transmitted with precision. It achieves this by incorporating pre-shoot and de-emphasis equalization techniques, allowing for transparent communication from the source to the receiver. This linear compensation for channel losses facilitates longer connection lengths without compromising on signal quality.
To further enhance performance, the device employs Continuous Time Linear Equalizers (CTLE) at its inputs, which work diligently to reduce Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) jitters and mitigate the effects of channel loss. Additionally, the programmable flat-gain feature and adjustable output linearity contribute to improving the eye diagram characteristics, thereby enhancing the overall signal integrity.
The PI3HDX12221B comes in the compact W-QFN3060-40 (ZLD40) package, measuring just 3 mm x 6 mm x 0.75 mm, and operates effectively across a temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC. This robustness makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, from consumer electronics to professional systems.
Key Features of the PI3HDX12221B:
- Transparent and Ultra-Low Latency Linear ReDriver Channels: Designed to enhance signal integrity and ensure system compatibility for modern HDMI 2.1 designs.
- Programmable Receiver-Side CTLE, Output Side Flat Gain, and Swing Linearity Settings: These features enable extended PCB trace lengths while minimizing signal latency.
- High-Speed 12 Gbps, 4-Channel, 2-to-1 Active Mux for HDMI 2.1: Supports advanced resolutions such as 8K DTV video with refresh rates, achieving a combined data rate of up to 48 Gbps across four channels (12 Gbps per channel).
- Flexible Control via I2C or Pin Strap: Offers easy configuration and adaptability to various system designs.
Key Applications:
- Digital TVs
- Display Monitors
- Gaming Consoles
- Laptop and Desktop PCs
- Workstation and Server Systems
- Docking Stations, KVMs, and PC Peripherals
