Introduction
The HD3SS215 is a high-speed passive switch capable of switching two full 4-lane ports from one of two
sources to one target location in an application or from one source to one of two targets. The signal pass
through the switch can be DisplayPort or HDMI/DVI signal. For DisplayPort applications, the HD3SS215
also supports switching of the auxiliary (AUX), display data channel (DDC), and hot plug detect (HPD)
signals.
This EVM was designed to be used as a medium connection between one HDMI source and one of two
HDMI sinks. The interface to the EVM consists of a standard HDMI connector to connect the EVM to your
system setup with standard HDMI cables. Your test setup should look similar to Figure 1.
