PTN3363 is a low power, high-speed level shifter device which converts four lanes oflow-swing AC-coupled differential input signals to DVI v1.0 and HDMI v1.4b compliantopen-drain current-steering differential output signals, up to 3.4 Gbit/s per lane to support36-bit deep color mode, 4K x 2K video format or 3D video data transport. Each of theselanes provides a level-shifting differential active buffer, with built-in Equalization, totranslate from low-swing AC-coupled differential signaling on the source side, toTMDS-type DC-coupled differential current-mode signaling terminated into 50 ? to 3.3 Von the sink side. Additionally, the PTN3363 provides a single-ended active buffer forvoltage translation of the HPD signal from 5 V on the sink side to 3.3 V on the source sideand provides a channel with active buffering and level shifting of the DDC channel(consisting of a clock and a data line) between 3.3 V source-side and 5 V sink-side. TheDDC channel is implemented using active I2C-bus buffer technology providing redrivingand level shifting as well as disablement (isolation between source and sink) of the clockand data lines.

The low-swing AC-coupled differential input signals to the PTN3363 typically come from adisplay source with multi-mode I/O, which supports multiple display standards, forexample, DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI. While the input differential signals are configured tocarry DVI or HDMI coded data, they do not comply with the electrical requirements of theDVI v1.0 or HDMI v1.4b specification. By using PTN3363, chip set vendors are able toimplement such reconfigurable I/Os on multi-mode display source devices, allowing thesupport of multiple display standards while keeping the number of chip set I/O pins low.

The PTN3363 main high-speed differential lanes feature low-swing self-biasing differentialinputs which are compliant to the electrical specifications of DisplayPort Standard v1.2aand/or PCI Express Standard v1.1, and open-drain current-steering differential outputscompliant to DVI v1.0 and HDMI v1.4b electrical specifications. The I2C-bus channelactively buffers as well as level-translates the DDC signals. The PTN3363 supportsstandby mode in order to minimize current consumption when Hot Plug Detect signalHPD_SINK is LOW.

PTN3363 is powered from a single 3.3 V power supply consuming a small amount ofpower (72 mW typical) and is offered in a 32-terminal HVQFN32 package.
