PTN3366
Low power HDMI/DVI level shifter supporting 3 Gbit/s operation
7.2 Analog current reference
The REXT pin (pin 6) is an analog current sense port used to provide an accurate current
reference for the differential outputs OUT_Dx. For best output voltage swing accuracy,
use of a 12.4 k resistor (1 % tolerance) connected between this terminal and GND is
recommended.
If an external 12.4 k1 % resistor is not used, this pin can be connected to GND or V
DD
directly (0 ). In any of these cases, the output functions normally but at reduced
accuracy over voltage and temperature of the following parameters: output levels (V
OL
),
differential output voltage swing, and rise and fall time accuracy.
7.3 Equalizer
The PTN3366 supports four level equalization settings based on binary input pins EQ0
and EQ1.
7.4 Backdrive current protection
The PTN3366 is designed for backdrive protection on all sink-side TMDS outputs,
sink-side DDC I/Os and the HPD_SINK input. This supports user scenarios where the
display is connected and powered, but the PTN3366 is unpowered. In these cases, the
PTN3366 sinks no more than a negligible amount of leakage current, and blocks the
display (sink) termination network from driving the power supply of the PTN3366 or that of
the inactive DVI or HDMI source or back into the V
DD
power supply rail.
7.5 Squelch function
PTN3366 operates only when the input signal level is above certain minimum threshold
(as per V
RX_DIFFp-p
). If the input falls below that minimum threshold, the outputs are
squelched.
7.6 Active DDC buffer with rise time accelerator
The PTN3366 DDC channel, besides providing 3.3 V to 5 V level shifting, includes active
buffering and rise time acceleration for reliable DDC applications. While retaining all the
operating modes and features of the I
2
C-bus system during the level shifts, it permits
extension of the I
2
C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering for both the data (SDA) and
the clock (SCL) line as well as the rise time accelerator on the sink-side port (SCL_SINK
and SDA_SINK) enabling the bus to drive a load up to 1400 pF and 400 pF on the
source-side port (SCL_SOURCE and SCA_SOURCE). Using the PTN3366 for DVI or
HDMI level shifting enables the system designer to isolate bus capacitance to
meet/exceed HDMI DDC specification. The SDA and SCL pins are in high-impedance
when the PTN3366 is unpowered or when DDC_EN is LOW.
