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.
