Front panel buffer for advanced television (HDTV) sets
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8195 is an HDMI™/DVI buffer featuring equalized
TMDS inputs and preemphasized TMDS outputs, ideal for
systems with long cable runs. The AD8195 includes bidirectional buffering for the DDC bus and bidirectional buffering
with integrated pull-up resistors for the CEC bus. The DDC
and CEC buffers are powered independently of the TMDS
buffers so that DDC/CEC functionality can be maintained
when the system is powered off.
The AD8195 is specified to operate over the −40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8195 is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for plastic
encapsulated devices is determined by the glass transition
temperature of the plastic, approximately 150°C. Temporarily
exceeding this limit may cause a shift in parametric performance
due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die by the package.
Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for an extended
period can result in device failure. To ensure proper operation,
it is necessary to observe the maximum power derating as
determined by the thermal resistance coefficients.

THEORY OF OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The primary function of the AD8195 is to buffer a single (HDMI
or DVI) link. The HDMI or DVI link consists of four differential,
high speed channels and three auxiliary single-ended, low speed
control signals. The high speed channels include a data-word clock
and three transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS)
data channels running at 10× the data-word clock frequency for
data rates up to 2.25 Gbps. The three low speed control signals
consist of the display data channel (DDC) bus (SDA and SCL)
and the consumer electronics control (CEC) line.
All four high speed TMDS channels are identical; that is, the
pixel clock can be run on any of the four TMDS channels.
Receive channel compensation is provided for the high speed
channels to support long input cables. The AD8195 also
includes selectable preemphasis for driving high loss output
cables.
In the intended application, the AD8195 would be placed between
a source and a sink, with long cable runs on the input and output.
INPUT CHANNELS
Each high speed input differential pair terminates to the
3.3 V VTTI power supply through a pair of single-ended 50 Ω
on-chip resistors, as shown in Figure 26. When the transmitter
of the AD8195 is disabled by setting the TX_EN control pin, the
input termination resistors are also disabled to provide a high
impedance node at the TMDS inputs.
The input equalizer provides 12 dB of high frequency boost.
No specific cable length is suggested for this equalization level
because cable performance varies widely between manufacturers;
however, in general, the AD8195 does not degrade or overequalize input signals, even for short input cables. The AD8195
can equalize more than 20 meters of 24 AWG cable at 2.25 Gbps,
over reference cables that exhibit an insertion loss of −15 dB.

OUTPUT CHANNELS
Each high speed output differential pair is terminated to the
3.3 V VTTO power supply through two single-ended 50 Ω
on-chip resistors (see Figure 27).
The output termination resistors of the AD8195 back terminate
the output TMDS transmission lines. These back terminations,
as recommended in the HDMI 1.3a specification, act to absorb
reflections from impedance discontinuities on the output traces,
improving the signal integrity of the output traces and adding
flexibility to how the output traces can be routed. For example,
interlayer vias can be used to route the AD8195 TMDS outputs
on multiple layers of the PCB without severely degrading the
quality of the output signal.
The AD8195 has an external control pin, TX_EN, that disables
the transmitter, reducing power when the transmitter is not in
use. Additionally, when the transmitter is disabled, the input
termination resistors are also disabled to present a high
impedance state at the input and indicate to any connected
HDMI sources that the link through the AD8195 is inactive.
The AD8195 also includes two levels of programmable output
preemphasis, 0 dB and 6 dB. The output preemphasis level can
be manually configured by setting the PE_EN pin. No specific
cable length is suggested for use with either preemphasis setting,
as cable performance varies widely among manufacturers.

PREEMPHASIS
The preemphasized TMDS outputs precompensate the transmitted signal to account for losses in systems with long cable
runs. These long cable runs selectively attenuate the high
frequency energy of the signal, leading to degraded transition
times and eye closure. Similar to a receive equalizer, the goal of
the preemphasis filter is to boost the high frequency energy in
the signal. However, unlike the receive equalizer, the preemphasis
filter is applied before the channel, thus predistorting the
transmitted signal to account for the loss of the channel. The
series connection of the preemphasis filter and the channel
results in a flatter frequency response than that of the channel,
thus leading to improved high frequency energy, improved
transition times, and improved eye opening on the far end of
the channel. Using a preemphasis filter to compensate for
channel losses allows for longer cable runs with or without a
receiver equalizer on the far end of the channel. In the case that
there is no receive equalizer on the far end of the channel, the
preemphasis filter should allow longer cable runs than would be
acceptable with no preemphasis. In the case of both a preemphasis filter on the near end and a receive equalizer on the far
end of the channel, the allowable cable run should be longer
than either compensation could achieve alone. The pulse
response of a preemphasized waveform is shown in Figure 28.
The output voltage levels and symbol descriptions are listed in
Tabl e 9 and Tab l e 10, respectively.

AUXILIARY LINES
The auxiliary (low speed) lines provide buffering for the Display
Data Channel (DDC) and Consumer Electronics Control (CEC)
signals. The auxiliary lines are powered independently from the
TMDS link; therefore, their functionality can be maintained even
when the system is powered off. In an application, these lines can
be powered by connecting AMUXVCC to the 5 V supply provided from the video source through the input HDMI connector.
DDC Buffers
The DDC buffers are 5 V tolerant bidirectional lines that can
carry extended display identification data (EDID), HDCP
encryption, and other information, depending on the specific
application. The DDC buffers are bidirectional and fully support
arbitration, clock synchronization, clock stretching, slave acknowledgement, and other relevant features of a standard mode I
The DDC buffers also have separate voltage references for the
input side and the output side, allowing the sink to use internal
bus voltages (3.3 V), alleviating the need for 5 V tolerant I/Os
for system ASICs. The logic level for the DDC_IN bus is set by
the voltage on VREF_IN, and the logic level for the DDC_OUT
bus is set by the voltage on VREF_OUT. For example, if the
DDC_IN bus is using 5 V I
2
C, the VREF_IN power supply pin
should be connected to a 5 V power supply. If the DDC_OUT
bus is using 3.3 V I
2
C, the VREF_OUT power supply pin should
be connected to a 3.3 V power supply.
CEC Buffer
The CEC buffer is a 3.3 V tolerant bidirectional buffer with
integrated pull-up resistors. This buffer enables full compliance
with all CEC specifications, including but not limited to input
capacitance, logic levels, transition times, and leakage (both
with the system power on and off). This allows the CEC functionality to be implemented in a standard microcontroller that
may not have CEC compliant I/Os. The CEC buffer is powered
from the AMUXVCC supply.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
FRONT PANEL BUFFER FOR ADVANCED TV
A front panel input provides easy access to an HDMI connector
for connecting devices, such as an HD camcorder or video game
console, to an HDTV. In designs where the main PCB is not
near the side or front of the HDTV, a front panel HDMI input
must be connected to the main board through a cable. The
AD8195 enables the implementation of a front or side panel
HDMI input for an HDTV by buffering the HDMI signals and
compensating for the cable interconnect to the main board.
A simplified typical front panel buffer circuit is shown in Figure 29.
The AD8195 is designed to have an HDMI/DVI receiver pinout
at its input and a transmitter pinout at its output. This makes
the AD8195 ideal for use in television set front panel connectors
and AVR-type applications where a designer routes both the
inputs and the outputs directly to HDMI/DVI connectors.
One advantage of the AD8195 in a television set front panel
connector is that all of the high speed signals can be routed on
one side (the topside) of the board. The AD8195 provides 12 dB
of input equalization so it can compensate for the signal degradation of long input cables. In addition, the AD8195 can also
provide up to 6 dB of output preemphasis that boosts the output
TMDS signals and allows the AD8195 to precompensate when
driving long PCB traces or high loss output cables. The net
effect of the input equalization and output preemphasis of the
AD8195 is that the AD8195 can compensate for the signal
degradation of both the input and output cables; it acts to
reopen a closed input data eye and transmit a full swing HDMI
signal to an end receiver.
Placement of a shunt resistor from the negative terminal of the
input TMDS clock differential pair to ground is recommended
to prevent amplification of ambient noise resulting in a large
swing signal at the input of the HDMI receiver.
For the CEC and DDC buffer circuits to be active when the
local supply is off, power must be provided to the AD8195
AMUXVCC supply pin from the HDMI source. The 5 V from
the HDMI connector and the local 5 V supply should be
isolated with diodes to prevent contention. Additionally, the
diodes should be selected such that the forward voltage drop
from the local supply is less than from the HDMI source so that
current is not drawn from the HDMI source when the local
supply is on.
The rise time of the CEC buffer output is set by the time
constant of the pull-up resistance and the capacitance on the
output node. An additional external pull-up resistance is
recommended at the CEC output to allow for optimal rise
times. A Thevenin equivalent 2 k pull-up to 3.3 V is shown in
Figure 30.
The VREF_IN and VREF_OUT pins are voltage references for
the input and output pins of DDC buffer. The external pull-up
resistors for the DDC bus should be connected to the same
voltage as applied to the respective VREF pin.
Typically, an EDID EEPROM is placed prior to the AD8195, as
shown in Figure 30. If desired, the EDID EEPROM can be
downstream of the AD8195. This optional configuration is also
illustrated in Figure 30. Regardless of the configuration, the
pull-up voltage at the DDC output should be on even when the
local system power supply is off.
To ensure that the AD8195 operates properly, Pin 21 (COMP)
should be tied to ground through a 10 F bypass capacitor. A
34 k pull-up resistor from COMP to AMUXVCC is integrated
on chip.

Figure 29. AD8195 as a Front Panel Buffer for an HDTV
The AD8195 offers 12 dB of equalization for the high speed
inputs. The equalizer of the AD8195 is optimized for video
data rates of 2.25 Gbps and can equalize more than 20 meters of
24 AWG HDMI cable at the input for data rates corresponding to
the video format 1080p with deep color.
The length of cable that can be used in a typical HDMI/DVI
application depends on a large number of factors, including the
following:
•Cable quality: the quality of the cable in terms of conductor
wire gauge and shielding. Thicker conductors have lower
signal degradation per unit length.
•Data rate: the data rate being sent over the cable. The signal
degradation of HDMI cables increases with data rate.
•Edge rates: the edge rates of the source input. Slower input
edges result in more significant data eye closure at the end
of a cable.
•Receiver sensitivity: the sensitivity of the terminating
receiver.
TMDS OUTPUT RISE/FALL TIMES
The TMDS outputs of the AD8195 are designed for optimal
performance even when external components are connected,
such as external ESD protection, common-mode filters, and
the HDMI connector. In applications where the output of the
AD8195 is connected to an HDMI output connector, additional
ESD protection is recommended. The capacitance of the additional ESD protection circuits for the TMDS outputs should be
as low as possible. In a typical application, the output rise/fall

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The AD8195 is used to buffer two distinctly different types of
signals, both of which are required for HDMI and DVI video.
These signal groups require different treatment when laying
out a PCB.
The first group of signals carries the audiovisual (AV) data encoded
by a technique called transition minimized differential signaling
(TMDS) and, in the case of HDMI, is also encrypted according to
the high bandwidth digital copy protection (HDCP) standard.
HDMI/DVI video signals are differential, unidirectional, and
high speed (up to 2.25 Gbps). The channels that carry the video
data must have controlled impedance, be terminated at the
receiver, and be capable of operating up to at least 2.25 Gbps. It
is especially important to note that the differential traces that
carry the TMDS signals should be designed with a controlled
differential impedance of 100 Ω. The AD8195 provides singleended 50 Ω terminations on chip for both its inputs and
outputs. Transmitter termination is not fully specified by the
HDMI standard, but its inclusion improves the overall system
signal integrity.
The second group of signals consists of low speed auxiliary
control signals used for communication between a source and a
sink. These signals include the DDC bus (this is an I
to send EDID information and HDCP encryption keys between
the source and the sink) and the consumer electronics control
(CEC) line. These auxiliary signals are bidirectional, low speed,

and transferred over a single-ended transmission line that does
not need to have controlled impedance. The primary concern
with laying out the auxiliary lines is ensuring that they conform
2
to the I
C bus standard and do not have excessive capacitive
loading.
TMDS Signals
In the HDMI/DVI standard, four differential pairs carry the
TMDS signals. In DVI, three of these pairs are dedicated to
carrying RGB video and sync data. For HDMI, audio data is
also interleaved with the video data; the DVI standard does not
incorporate audio information. The fourth high speed differential
pair is used for the AV data-word clock and runs at one-tenth
the speed of the TMDS data channels.
The four high speed channels of the AD8195 are identical.
No concession was made to lower the bandwidth of the fourth
channel for the pixel clock, so any channel can be used for any
TMDS signal. The user chooses which signal is routed over
which channel. Additionally, the TMDS channels are symmetric;
therefore, the p and n of a given differential pair are interchangeable, provided the inversion is consistent across all inputs and
outputs of the AD8195. However, the routing between inputs
and outputs through the AD8195 is fixed. For example, Input
Channel 0 is always buffered to Output Channel 0, and so forth.
The AD8195 buffers the TMDS signals, and the input traces can
be considered electrically independent of the output traces. In
most applications, the quality of the signal on the input TMDS
traces is more sensitive to the PCB layout. Regardless of the data
being carried on a specific TMDS channel, or whether the
TMDS line is at the input or the output of the AD8195, all four
high speed signals should be routed on a PCB in accordance
with the same RF layout guidelines.
Layout for the TMDS Signals
The TMDS differential pairs can be either microstrip traces,
routed on the outer layer of a board, or stripline traces, routed
on an internal layer of the board. If microstrip traces are used,
there should be a continuous reference plane on the PCB layer
directly below the traces. If stripline traces are used, they must
be sandwiched between two continuous reference planes in the
PCB stack-up. Additionally, the p and n of each differential pair
must have a controlled differential impedance of 100 Ω. The
characteristic impedance of a differential pair is a function of
several variables, including the trace width, the distance separating
the two traces, the spacing between the traces and the reference
plane, and the dielectric constant of the PCB binder material.
Interlayer vias introduce impedance discontinuities that can
cause reflections and jitter on the signal path; therefore, it is
preferable to route the TMDS lines exclusively on one layer of the
board, particularly for the input traces. In addition, to prevent
unwanted signal coupling and interference, route the TMDS
signals away from other signals and noise sources on the PCB.
Both traces of a given differential pair must be equal in length
to minimize intrapair skew. Maintaining the physical symmetry
of a differential pair is integral to ensuring its signal integrity;
excessive intrapair skew can introduce jitter through duty cycle
distortion (DCD). The p and n of a given differential pair should
always be routed together in order to establish the required
100 Ω differential impedance. Enough space should be left
between the differential pairs of a given group so that the n of
one pair does not couple to the p of another pair. For example, one
technique is to make the interpair distance 4 to 10 times wider
than the intrapair spacing.
Any group of four TMDS channels (input or output) should have
closely matched trace lengths to minimize interpair skew. Severe
interpair skew can cause the data on the four different channels
of a group to arrive out of alignment with one another. A good
practice is to match the trace lengths for a given group of four
channels to within 0.05 inches on FR4 material.
The length of the TMDS traces should be minimized to reduce
overall signal degradation. Commonly used PCB material such
as FR4 is lossy at high frequencies, so long traces on the circuit
board increase signal attenuation, resulting in decreased signal
swing and increased jitter through intersymbol interference (ISI).
Controlling the Characteristic Impedance of a TMDS
Differential Pair
The characteristic impedance of a differential pair depends on a
number of variables, including the trace width, the distance
between the two traces, the height of the dielectric material
between the trace and the reference plane below it, and the
dielectric constant of the PCB binder material. To a lesser
extent, the characteristic impedance also depends upon the
trace thickness and the presence of solder mask.
There are many combinations that can produce the correct
characteristic impedance. It is generally required to work with
the PCB fabricator to obtain a set of parameters to produce the
desired results.
One consideration is how to guarantee a differential pair with
a differential impedance of 100 Ω over the entire length of the
trace. One technique is to change the width of the traces in a
differential pair based on how closely one trace is coupled to
the other. When the two traces of a differential pair are close
and strongly coupled, they should have a width that produces
a 100 Ω differential impedance. When the traces split apart to
go into a connector, for example, and are no longer so strongly
coupled, the width of the traces should be increased to yield a
differential impedance of 100 Ω in the new configuration.

TMDS Terminations
The AD8195 provides internal 50 Ω single-ended terminations
for all of its high speed inputs and outputs. It is not necessary to
include external termination resistors for the TMDS differential
pairs on the PCB.
The output termination resistors of the AD8195 back terminate
the output TMDS transmission lines. These back terminations
act to absorb reflections from impedance discontinuities on the
output traces, improving the signal integrity of the output traces
and adding flexibility to how the output traces can be routed.
For example, interlayer vias can be used to route the AD8195
TMDS outputs on multiple layers of the PCB without severely
degrading the quality of the output signal.
Auxiliary Control Signals
There are three single-ended control signals associated with
each source or sink in an HDMI/DVI application. These are
consumer electronics control (CEC) and two display data
channel (DDC) lines. The two signals on the DDC bus are SDA
and SCL (serial data and serial clock, respectively). These three
signals can be buffered through the AD8195 and do not need to
be routed with the same strict considerations as the high speed
TMDS signals.
In general, it is sufficient to route each auxiliary signal as a
single-ended trace. These signals are not sensitive to impedance
discontinuities, do not require a reference plane, and can be
routed on multiple layers of the PCB. However, it is best to
follow strict layout practices whenever possible to prevent the
PCB design from affecting the overall application. The specific
routing of the CEC and DDC lines depends on the application
in which the AD8195 is being used.
For example, the maximum speed of signals present on the
auxiliary lines is 100 kHz I
any layout that enables 100 kHz I
2
C data on the DDC lines; therefore,
2
C to be passed over the DDC
bus should suffice. The HDMI 1.3a specification, however,
places a strict 50 pF limit on the amount of capacitance that can
be measured on either SDA or SCL at the HDMI input connector.
This 50 pF limit includes the HDMI connector, the PCB, and
whatever capacitance is seen at the input of the AD8195. There
is a similar limit of 150 pF of input capacitance for the CEC line.
The parasitic capacitance of traces on a PCB increases with
trace length. To help ensure that a design satisfies the HDMI
specification, the length of the CEC and DDC lines on the PCB
should be made as short as possible. Additionally, if there is a
reference plane in the layer adjacent to the auxiliary traces in
the PCB stack-up, relieving or clearing out this reference plane
immediately under the auxiliary traces significantly decreases
the amount of parasitic trace capacitance. An example of the
board stack-up is shown in Figure 31.

The AD8195 buffers the auxiliary signals; therefore, only the
input traces, connector, and AD8195 input capacitance must be
considered when designing a PCB to meet HDMI specifications.
Power Supplies
The AD8195 has four separate power supplies referenced to a
single ground, AVEE. The supply/ground pairs are
• AV CC / AV EE
• VTTI/AVEE
• VTTO/AVEE
• AMUXVCC/AVEE.
The AVCC/AVEE (3.3 V) supply powers the core of the AD8195.
The VTTI/AVEE supply (3.3 V) powers the input termination
(see Figure 26). Similarly, the VTTO/AVEE supply (3.3 V)
powers the output termination (see Figure 27). The AMUXVCC/
AVEE supply (5 V) powers the auxiliary buffer core.
In a typical application, all pins labeled AVEE should be connected
directly to ground. All pins labeled AVCC, VTTI, or VTTO
should be connected to 3.3 V, and Pin AMUXVCC should be
tied to 5 V. The AVCC supply powers the TMDS buffers while
AMUXVCC powers the DDC/CEC buffers. AMUXVCC can be
connected to the +5 V supply provided from the input HDMI
connector to ensure that the DDC and CEC buffers remain
functional when the system is powered off. The supplies can
also be powered individually, but care must be taken to ensure
that each stage of the AD8195 is powered correctly.
DDC Reference Inputs
The VREF_IN and VREF_OUT voltages (3.3 V to 5 V) provide
reference levels for the DDC buffers. Both voltages are
referenced to AVEE. The voltage applied at these reference
inputs should be the same as the pull-up voltage for
corresponding DDC bus.
