DisplayPort to DVI™/HDMI Level Shifter
General Description
The MAX9406 high-speed, low-skew, quad differential
input to current-mode logic (CML) translator features
high-speed signal conversion of the DisplayPort
™
(DP)
to High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI
™
) technol-
ogy. This device features ultra-low propagation delay of
350ps and channel-to-channel skew of less than 20ps.
The MAX9406 supports typical data rates of 2Gbps.
The MAX9406 provides the level shift for HDMI’s
Display Data Channel (DDC) and hot-plug detection
(HPD), which converts the 5V single-ended logic to
3.3V single-ended logic.
The MAX9406 operates from a 3V to 3.6V core supply
and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended tem-
perature range. This device is available in 48-pin, 7mm
x 7mm thin QFN and 32-pin, 5mm x 5mm thin QFN
packages.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a 4-layer board.
For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
Application Note 4083
at www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
