Retimer digital video interface and high-definition multimedia interface retimer supports four TMDS channels

Stocked by Mouser, Texas Instruments’ TMDS171 3.4Gbps TMDA retimer is a digital video interface or high-definition multimedia interface retimer. The device supports four TMDS channels, Audio Return Channel (SPDIF_IN/ARC_OUT), Hot Plug Detect and Digital Display Control interfaces. It supports signalling rates up to 3.4Gbps to allow for the highest resolutions of 4k2k30p 24 bits per pixel and up to WUXGA 12-bit color depth or 1080p with higher refresh rates. The device automatically configures itself as a re-driver at the low data rate (< 1Gbps) or as a re-timer above this data rate.
