The DS16EV5110 is a 2.25 Gbps multi-channel equalizer optimized for video cable extension applications. It contains three Transition-Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) data channels and one clock channel as commonly found in DVI and HDMI cables. It provides compensation for skin-effect and dielectric losses, a common phenomenon when transmitting video on commercially available high definition video cables. The inputs and outputs fully support DVI and HDMI requirements and features programmable levels of input equalization. The programmable levels of equalization provide optimal signal boost and reduces inter-symbol interference. The device supports DC-coupled data paths providing a wider input common-mode voltage range. The wide input common-mode voltage range eliminates the need for external coupling capacitors, thereby reducing solution size and cost. The clock channel is optimized for clock rates of up to 225 MHz and features a signal detect circuit. To maximize noise immunity, the DS16EV5110 features a programmable loss of signal threshold. The threshold is adjustable through a Serial Management Bus (SMBus) interface. The DS16EV5110 also provides support for system power management via output enable controls. Additional controls are provided via the SMBus enabling customization and optimization for specific applications requirements. These controls include programmable features such as output amplitude and boost controls as well as system level diagnostics.
