The PI3HDX12311 and PI3HDX6311 are 3.3V quad-channel hybrid ReDrivers. The PI3HDX12311 supports HDMI 2.1 fixed rate link (FRL) up to 12Gbps and transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS) up to 6Gbps; the PI3HDX6311 supports HDMI 2.0 TMDS up to 6Gbps. Both are backward compatible to HDMI 1.4.
For HDMI 1.4 applications, both are configured as a limited ReDriver (where the ReDriver’s differential output swing is defined by the swing setting), ensuring HDMI-compliant levels at the receptacle.
For HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1, the devices are configured as linear ReDrivers (where the differential output swing is directly proportional to the received signal), which ensures that the ReDrivers function as trace cancellers. The linear ReDriver mode is also inherently transparent to link training signals. The PI3HDX12311 and PI3HDX6311 are equipped with pin-strap mode control for operational mode, equalization, flat gain, output swing (SW), and output -1dB linearity swing (N1SW).
Both devices support dual-mode DisplayPort™ (DP++) level shift applications for HDMI TMDS output signals. Their input and output signals can be AC- or DC-coupled, or mixed, which can eliminate the need for additional level-shifter components from the data channels.
