CABLE LENGTHS AND EQUALIZATION
The AD8196 offers two levels of programmable equalization
for the high speed inputs: 6 dB and 12 dB. The equalizer of
the AD8196 supports video data rates of up to 2.25 Gbps, and
as shown in Figure 14, it can equalize more than 20 meters of
24 AWG HDMI cable at 2.25 Gbps, which corresponds to the video
format, 1080p with deep color.
The length of cable that can be used in a typical HDMI/DVI
application depends on a large number of factors including

As such, specific cable types and lengths are not recommended
for use with a particular equalizer setting. In nearly all applica-
tions, the AD8196 equalization level can be set to high, or 12 dB,
for all input cable configurations at all data rates, without degrading
the signal integrity.
THE AD8196 AS A SINGLE-CHANNEL BUFFER
The AD8196 can be used as a single-channel TMDS buffer
without the need for any external I
configuration, the AD8196 connects both the high speed and
low speed channels of Input A to their respective outputs, sets
the input equalization level to 6 dB, the output pre-emphasis
level to 0 dB, enables both the output and input terminations,
and provides a fully functioning HDMI link with TMDS
buffering.
The AD8196 enters this default state whenever the RESET pin is
pulled to low in accordance with the specification in Table 1.
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The AD8196 is used to switch two distinctly different types of
signals, both of which are required for HDMI and DVI video.
These signal groups require different treatment when laying out
a PC board.
The first group of signals carries the audiovisual (AV) data.
HDMI/DVI video signals are differential, unidirectional, and
high speed (up to 2.25 Gbps). The channels that carry the video
data over the PCB must be controlled impedance, terminated at
the receiver, and capable of operating at the maximum specified
system data rate. It is especially important to note that the dif-
ferential traces that carry the TMDS signals should be designed
with a controlled differential impedance of 100 Ω. The AD8196
Cable quality: the quality of the cable in terms of conductor
wire gauge and shielding. Thicker conductors have lower
signal degradation per unit length.
Data rate: the data rate being sent over the cable. The signal
degradation of HDMI cables increases with data rate.
Edge rates: the edge rates of the source input. Slower input
edges result in more significant data eye closure at the end
of a cable.
Receiver sensitivity: the sensitivity of the terminating
receiver.

provides single-ended 50 Ω terminations on-chip for both its
inputs and outputs, and both the input and output terminations
can be enabled or disabled through the serial interface. Trans-
mitter termination is not required by the HDMI 1.3 standard but
its inclusion improves the overall system signal integrity.
The audiovisual (AV) data carried on these high speed channels
is encoded by a technique called transition minimized differ-
ential signaling (TMDS) and in the case of HDMI, is also encrypted
according to the high bandwidth digital copy protection (HDCP)
standard.
The second group of signals consists of low speed auxiliary
control signals used for communication between a source and a
sink. Depending upon the application, these signals can include
the DDC bus (this is an I
and HDCP encryption keys between the source and the sink),
the consumer electronics control (CEC) line, and the hot plug
detect (HPD) line. These auxiliary signals are bidirectional, low
speed, and transferred over a single-ended transmission line
that does not need to have controlled impedance. The primary
concern with laying out the auxiliary lines is ensuring that they
conform to the I
capacitive loading.
TMDS Signals
In the HDMI/DVI standard, four differential pairs carry the
TMDS signals. In DVI, three of these pairs are dedicated to
carrying RGB video and sync data. For HDMI, audio data
interleaves with the video data; the DVI standard does not incor-
porate audio information. The fourth high speed differential pair
is used for the AV data-word clock, and runs at one-tenth the
speed of the TMDS data channels.
The four high speed channels of the AD8196 are identical.
No concession was made to lower the bandwidth of the fourth
channel for the pixel clock, so any channel can be used for any
TMDS signal. The user chooses which signal is routed over
which channel. Additionally, the TMDS channels are symmetrical;
therefore, the p and n of a given differential pair are inter-
changeable, provided the inversion is consistent across all inputs
and outputs of the AD8196. However, the routing between inputs
and outputs through the AD8196 is fixed. For example, Output
Channel 0 always switches between Input A0 and Input B0, and
so forth.
The AD8196 buffers the TMDS signals and the input traces can
be considered electrically independent of the output traces. In
most applications, the quality of the signal on the input TMDS
traces are more sensitive to the PCB layout. Regardless of the
data being carried on a specific TMDS channel, or whether the
TMDS line is at the input or the output of the AD8196, all four
high speed signals should be routed on a PCB in accordance
with the same RF layout guidelines.
