DVI/HDMI 2:4 TMDS Fanout Switch and
Cable Driver
General Description
The MAX3845 is a TMDS
®
2-to-4 fanout switch and
cable driver for multimonitor distribution of DVI™ or
HDMI™ signaling up to 1.65Gbps. Both inputs and out-
puts 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 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 or industrial/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.
For DDC switching, use the companion MAX4814E 2:4
low-resistance CMOS crosspoint switch. DDC switching
is not required for applications that connect DDC to one
reference monitor only.
The MAX3845 can be configured to create a 2 x 8 or
4 x 4 switch (see the
Typical Operating Circuit
diagrams).
The MAX3845 is available in a 14mm
×
14mm, 100-pin
TQFP-EP package and operates over the -10°C to
+85°C temperature range.
