Product details
Overview
PI3HDX12221BZLDEX from Diodes Incorporated is a 12Gbps HDMI 2.1-compliant 2-to-1 active multiplexer with integrated linear ReDriver™, I²C and pin-strapped control, 3.3V supply, -40°C to +85°C operation, and TQFN-40 (3×6mm) package. It equalizes four differential TMDS channels up to +8.8dB at 6GHz for HDMI 2.1 link extension in digital TV and gaming console source switching.
For engineers reviewing the PI3HDX12221BZLDEX datasheet, PI3HDX12221BZLDEX pinout, PI3HDX12221BZLDEX application, or PI3HDX12221BZLDEX equivalent, key selection criteria include HDMI 2.1/DP++ dual-mode support, CTLE-based ISI jitter reduction, quad-level flat gain programmability, and 40-pin TQFN thermal performance under 3.3V ±10% supply.
Technical Context
The device implements a non-blocking linear ReDriver architecture with input-side CTLE equalizers to reduce inter-symbol interference jitter and compensate channel insertion loss across 4 TMDS lanes. Each lane supports independent gain tuning via I²C or combinational pin strap logic.
It natively supports HDMI 1.4/2.0/2.1 and DisplayPort Dual-Mode (DP++) level-shifting, enabling transparent HDMI signal routing from GPU sources to HDMI or DP++ sinks without protocol translation or retiming.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 12 Gbps per lane - enables full HDMI 2.1 Ultra HD 4K@120Hz/8K@60Hz video transmission |
| Equalization Gain | +8.8 dB @ 6 GHz - compensates >15 dB channel loss for 15+ cm FR4 PCB traces at HDMI 2.1 speeds |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - compatible with standard system IO rails; no auxiliary voltage required |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade display subsystems including digital signage and gaming hardware |
| Interface Control | I²C (up to 400 kHz) + 4-pin strap logic - enables flexible factory tuning or runtime reconfiguration without MCU firmware overhead |
| Compliance | HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4, DP++ v1.1 - supports hybrid source muxing between GPU HDMI and DP++ outputs |
Pinout & Package

| OS0–OS1 | Output swing linearity select | 2-bit strap control for output amplitude and linearity optimization across trace lengths |
| IN0+/IN0− … IN3+/IN3− | Differential TMDS input pairs | Two 4-lane sources (e.g., GPU HDMI + DP++ converter); mux selects one set to output |
| OUT0+/OUT0− … OUT3+/OUT3− | Differential TMDS output pairs | Single 4-lane output driving HDMI receptacle or DP++ sink with linear redriving |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear ReDriver™ architecture | Preserves pre-shoot/de-emphasis waveforms end-to-end; avoids signal distortion from retiming or limiting |

| Dual-mode DP++ level shift | Enables direct connection of DP++ source to HDMI sink without external level translators or protocol converters |
| Quad-level programmable flat gain | Four discrete flat gain settings allow precise eye diagram opening control for varying PCB loss profiles |
| Compact 3×6 mm TQFN-40 | Minimizes board area vs. legacy 5×5 mm or QFN-48 solutions while maintaining thermal performance |
Applications
| Digital Television Source Switching | Gaming Console HDMI Muxing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching between two HDMI 2.1 sources (e.g., STB and streaming dongle) into single TV input with full 4K@120Hz support. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active 2-to-1 mux with linear redriving ensures signal integrity across long internal flex cables and connectors. Use Value: Eliminates need for external equalizers or retimers; maintains HDMI 2.1 CTS compliance over 12Gbps channel. | Use Scenario: Routing GPU HDMI and DP++ outputs from next-gen console SoC to shared HDMI display port. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-mode level shifter and linear ReDriver enable seamless DP++-to-HDMI conversion without protocol handshaking delay. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by replacing discrete level shifter + redriver combo; supports plug-and-play display detection. |
| Laptop Docking Station Hub | Workstation GPU Output Multiplexing |
Use Scenario: Aggregating HDMI 2.1 outputs from laptop and external GPU into single monitor port on USB-C dock. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency 2-to-1 mux with I²C runtime reconfiguration allows OS-driven source selection without display blanking. Use Value: Enables zero-frame-drop switching between integrated and discrete graphics; meets USB-C Alt Mode timing budgets. | Use Scenario: Selecting between dual workstation GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA RTX and AMD Radeon Pro) feeding single high-res display wall controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Industrial-temp rated linear redriver preserves signal fidelity across backplane traces up to 20 cm. Use Value: Supports simultaneous 8K@60Hz dual-GPU rendering output without eye closure or bit errors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDMI 2.1 mux and redriver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TUSB546IRWBR | Retimer-based (not linear ReDriver); requires HDMI protocol handshake; no DP++ support | Designed for USB-C Alt Mode docking only; lacks pin-strapped gain control | Prefer when HDMI CTS compliance validation is mandatory and DP++ is not needed |
| Pericom PI3HDX12221AZLDEX | Same die, but with different I²C address and strap default; identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference; used for variant SKU management in multi-source supply chains | Select when matching existing design's I²C address map or qualification documentation |
Compared with TI TUSB546IRWBR, PI3HDX12221BZLDEX offers lower latency and DP++ compatibility; versus PI3HDX12221AZLDEX, it provides distinct I²C addressing for concurrent use in multi-device systems without bus conflict.

FAQ
Does PI3HDX12221BZLDEX require external termination resistors?
No. The device integrates 100Ω differential input and output termination internally. External termination is unnecessary and may degrade signal integrity. Layout guidelines specify controlled-impedance 100Ω differential routing directly to INx/OUTx pins without stubs or vias near the package.
Can PI3HDX12221BZLDEX operate with only pin-strap control-no I²C connection?
Yes. All configuration parameters-including EQ gain, flat gain, and output swing linearity-are fully selectable via four strap pins (EQ0/EQ1/FG0/FG1). I²C is optional for dynamic runtime updates and does not affect basic functionality.
What is the maximum supported trace length for HDMI 2.1 operation?
With +8.8 dB CTLE gain enabled, the device extends usable HDMI 2.1 channel length to ≥18 cm on standard 6-layer FR4 PCB (5-mil trace, 5-mil space, 10-mil prepreg). Performance validated per HDMI CTS 2.1a test plan using PRBS31 pattern at 12 Gbps.
Is PI3HDX12221BZLDEX qualified for automotive applications?
No. It is specified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., PI3HDX12221BQZLEX) with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended reliability testing for infotainment systems.
