TMDS 1:2 fanout buffer for Dual Link DVI clock

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TFP401A, TMDS361B

Thinking about using two TFP401A for a dual link DVI application. The issue I am having is how to connect the  DVI clock +/- pair to 2 loads? Is there a TMDS 1:2 fanout driver for this purpose.

I wish the TFP401A had a programmable termination resistor between 50 and 100ohm on the DVI clock input.

  • Hello,

    Yes, there are TMDS switches like the TMDS361B but creating a dual-link system using two single link receivers is not that simple as split the clock.

    The TFP401A is not designed to work on a dual-link application.
