TMDS Digital Video Equalizer for DVI/HDMI
Cables
The MAX3815 cable equalizer automatically provides
compensation for DVI™, HDMI™, DFP, PanelLink®, and
ADC cables. It extends the usable cable distance up to
36 meters. The MAX3815 is designed to equalize signals encoded in the transition-minimized differential
signaling (TMDS®) format.
The MAX3815 features four CML-differential inputs and
outputs (three data and one clock). It provides a lossof-signal (LOS) output that indicates loss-of-clock signal. The outputs include a disable function or the
equalizer can be powered down to conserve power.
For direct chip-to-chip communication, the output drivers can be switched to one-half the DVI output specification to conserve power and reduce EMI. Equalization
can be automatic or set to manual control for specific
in-cable applications.
The MAX3815 is available in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin
TQFP-EP package and operates over a 0°C to +70°C
temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX3815 TMDS equalizer accepts differential CML
input data at rates of 250Mbps up to 1.65Gbps (individual channel data rate). It automatically adjusts to attenuation levels of up to 40dB at 825MHz due to
skin-effect losses in copper cable. It consists of four
CML input buffers, a loss-of-clock signal detector, three
independent adaptive equalizers, four limiting amplifiers, and four output buffers (Figure 1).
CML Input Buffers and Output Drivers
The input buffers and the output drivers are implemented using current-mode logic (CML) (see Figures 3 and
4). The output drivers are open-collector and can be
turned off with the OUTON pin, or can be set to output
a one-half amplitude signal (500mV P-P differential)
using the OUTLEVEL pin. For details on interfacing with
CML, refer to Maxim Application Note HFAN-01.0:
Introduction to LVDS, PECL, and CML.
Loss-of-Clock Signal Detector
The loss-of-clock signal detector indicates a loss-ofclock signal at the CLKLOS pin.
6
Adaptive Equalizer
The three data channels each contain an independent
adaptive equalizer. Each channel analyzes the incoming signal and determines the amount of equalization to
apply.
Limiting Amplifier
The limiting amplifier amplifies the signal from the
adaptive equalizer and truncates the top and bottom of
the waveform to provide a clean high- and low-level
signal to the output drivers.
Applications Information
Typical shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cables exhibit skin-effect losses,
which attenuate the high-frequency spectrum of a
TMDS signal, eventually causing data errors or even
closing the signal eye altogether given a long enough
cable. The MAX3815 recovers the data and opens the
signal eye through compensating equalization.
The basic TMDS interface is composed of four differential serial links: three links carry serial data up to
1.65Gbps each, and the fourth is a one-tenth-rate
(0.1x) clock that operates up to 165MHz. TMDS, as with

analog nVGA links, must handle a variety of resolutions
and screen update rates. The actual range of digital
serial rates is roughly 250Mbps to 1.65Gbps. For applications requiring ultra-high resolutions (e.g., QXGA), a
“double-link” TMDS interface is used and is composed
of six data links plus the clock, requiring two MAX3815
ICs with the clock going to both ICs. See Figure 2.
The MAX3815 can be used to extend any TMDS interface as used under the following trademarked names:
DVI (digital visual interface), DFP™ (digital flat-panel),
PanelLink, ADC™ (Apple display connector), and
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface).

Loss-of-Clock Signal (CLKLOS) Output
Loss-of-clock signal is indicated by the CLKLOS output. A low level on CLKLOS indicates that the signal
power on the RXC_IN pins has dropped below a
threshold. When there is sufficient input voltage to the
channel (typically greater than 100mVP-P differential),
CLKLOS is high. The CLKLOS output is suitable for
indicating problems with the transmission link caused
by, for example, a broken cable, a defective driver, or a
lost connection to the equalizer.

A squelching function can be created by sending the
CLKLOS output through an inverter to the OUTON pin.
This will squelch the CML outputs whenever the clock
signal is removed. A loss-of-signal LED indicator can
be incorporated into the circuit as well (see Figure 3).

Output Level Control (OUTLEVEL) Input
The OUTLEVEL pin is an LVTTL input that allows the
user to select between standard output amplitude
(1000mVP-P differential) or one-half output amplitude
(500mVP-P differential). Forcing this pin high results in
the standard output signal level, and forcing this pin
low results in the reduced output signal level.
Equalizer Control (EQCONTROL) Input
The EQCONTROL pin allows the user to control the
equalization in one of three ways: forcing the pin to
ground sets the equalizer in automatic equalization
mode, forcing the pin to VCC / 2 sets the equalizer to
minimum equalization, and forcing a voltage between
VCC - 1V to VCC allows manual control of the equalization level applied to the input signals. See the Typical
Operating Characteristics for more information.
Power-Down (PWRDWN) Input
The PWRDWN pin allows the part to be powered down
to reduce system power consumption. Force the pin
high for normal operation. Force the pin low to powerdown the IC. When powered down, the part consumes
approximately 10mA.

Output On (OUTON) Input
The OUTON pin is an LVTTL input. Force the pin low to
enable the outputs. Force the pin high to set a differential
zero on the outputs. When disabled, the outputs will go to
a differential zero, irrespective of the signal at the inputs.
Cable Selection
TMDS performance is heavily dependent on cable
quality. Deterministic jitter (DJ) can be caused by differential-to-common-mode conversion (or vice-versa)

• An uninterrupted ground plane should be positioned beneath the high-speed I/Os.
• Ground-path vias should be placed close to the IC

• Maintain 100Ω differential transmission line impedance into and out of the MAX3815.
• Use good high-frequency layout techniques and

Layout Considerations
The data and clock inputs are the most critical paths for
the MAX3815 and great care should be taken to minimize discontinuities on these transmission lines
between the connector and the IC. Here are some suggestions for maximizing the performance of the
MAX3815:
• The data and clock inputs should be wired directly
between the cable connector and IC without stubs.
Exposed-Pad Package
The exposed pad on the 48-pin TQFP-EP provides a
very low thermal resistance path for heat removal from
the IC. The pad is also electrical ground on the
MAX3815 and must be soldered to the circuit board
ground for proper thermal and electrical performance.
