GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8195 is an HDMI/DVI buffer featuring equalized TMDS
inputs and preemphasized TMDS outputs, ideal for systems with
long cable runs. The AD8195 includes bidirectional buffering
for the DDC bus and bidirectional buffering with integrated
pull-up resistors for the CEC bus. The DDC and CEC buffers
are powered independently of the TMDS buffers so that DDC/
CEC functionality can be maintained when the system is powered
off. The AD8195 meets all the requirements for sink tests as
defined in Section 8 of the HDMI Compliance Test 1.3c.
The AD8195 is specified to operate over the −40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Enables a fully HDMI 1.3a-compliant front panel input.
2. Supports data rates of up to 2.25 Gbps, enabling 1080p deep
color (12-bit color) HDMI formats and greater than UXGA
(1600 × 1200) DVI resolutions.
3. Input cable equalizer enables use of long cables; more than
20 meters (24 AWG) at data rates of up to 2.25 Gbps.
4. Auxiliary buffer isolates and buffers the DDC bus and CEC
line for a single chip, fully HDMI 1.3a-compliant solution.
5. Auxiliary buffer is powered independently from the TMDS
link so that DDC/CEC functionality can be maintained
when the system is powered off.
