Intelligent HDMI Switches Feature Auto-adaptive Equalizers

(Product News, 7 Jul 2008)

NXP Semiconductors' TDA9996 HDMI1.3a smart switches boast built-in auto-adaptive equalizers for intelligently maintaining consistently high audio-visual quality over longer HDMI cables. The devices also offer 12-bit Deep Color support for picture quality.

The TDA9996 HDMI1.3a smart switches can support over 20m AWG26 cable on a 12-bit Deep Color 1080p stream in a typical application environment. The highly automated switches are able to handle up to four HDMI 1.3a inputs in front of the TV processor, allowing the end user to enjoy content from different HD sources and to switch easily between them. Built-in Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) also allows TDA9996-based appliances to be managed from a single remote control in a CEC-enabled device environment.

The TDA9996 smart switches offer a compelling solution to TV manufacturers and system integrators with embedded features that eliminate the need for external components—reducing the workload and the complexity of the TV processor to deliver an enhanced viewing experience. The TDA9996 is embedded with intelligently controlled CEC controller, ESD protection, termination resistors, non-volatile EDID and configuration memory.
