Product details
Overview
PI3HDX412BDZBE from Diodes Incorporated (acquired Pericom) is an active HDMI 1.4b-compliant 1:2 TMDS splitter/demultiplexer with equalization and pre-emphasis, supporting up to 3.4 Gbps data rate (340 MHz TMDS clock), 3.3 V supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It drives differential signals to two independent HDMI displays from a single graphics source, used on the video driver side in PC graphics cards for multi-display routing.
For engineers reviewing the PI3HDX412BDZBE datasheet, PI3HDX412BDZBE pinout, PI3HDX412BDZBE application, or PI3HDX412BDZBE equivalent, key selection criteria include TMDS channel count, 3.4 Gbps bandwidth compliance, I²C/pin-strapped configuration mode, Hi-Z output enablement, and integrated squelch with clock detection.
Technical Context
The PI3HDX412BDZBE implements a unidirectional active TMDS channel splitter architecture with programmable pre-emphasis (to improve rise/fall times) and receiver-side equalization to compensate for high-frequency loss over long cables. Its internal squelch circuit monitors TMDS clock presence and disables outputs when no valid signal is detected.
Configuration is supported in two modes: pin-strapped (hardwired logic levels on MODE/SEL pins) or I²C-controlled (7-bit slave address 0x4A), enabling dynamic adjustment of output swing, slew rate, and pre-emphasis level per port. All I/Os are AC- or DC-coupled differential interfaces compliant with HDMI 1.4b electrical specifications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDMI 1.4b 1:2 splitter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPD12S016 | Passive ESD protection IC with HDMI level-shifting; no active splitting or pre-emphasis | Used only for interface protection at connector, not signal distribution | Select when only ESD/clamp protection is needed, not signal replication |
| Parade PS8409 | Active HDMI 2.0 1:2 repeater with 6 Gbps support, integrated HDCP 2.2, and automatic link training | Supports 4K@60Hz and HDCP 2.2; requires additional firmware and power sequencing | Select for next-gen 4K@60Hz/HDCP 2.2 systems where backward compatibility with 1.4b is secondary |
Compared with TPD12S016 and PS8409, the PI3HDX412BDZBE uniquely balances HDMI 1.4b compliance, low-latency active splitting, and minimal BOM overhead-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume PC graphics and industrial display hubs requiring 3.4 Gbps performance without HDCP or 4K@60Hz complexity.

FAQ
What is the function of the SQ_EN pin on PI3HDX412BDZBE?
The SQ_EN (Squelch Enable) pin activates the device's built-in clock detector circuit. When asserted, it monitors the TMDS clock input and automatically places both TMDS outputs into high-impedance state if the clock frequency falls below ~200 kHz-preventing spurious output during source disconnection or sleep mode, reducing EMI and power consumption.
Can PI3HDX412BDZBE be used in HDMI 2.0 systems?
No. The PI3HDX412BDZBE is specified for HDMI 1.4b with a maximum data rate of 3.4 Gbps (340 MHz TMDS clock), insufficient for HDMI 2.0's 6 Gbps minimum requirement. It does not support HDMI 2.0 features such as 4K@60Hz, HDR metadata transport, or enhanced audio return channel (eARC).
Does PI3HDX412BDZBE require external termination resistors?
No. The device integrates 50 Ω differential termination on all TMDS inputs and outputs, eliminating need for external 100 Ω resistors. This simplifies PCB layout and ensures consistent impedance matching across varying trace lengths and connector types in HDMI/DVI interfaces.
How is output voltage swing configured on PI3HDX412BDZBE?
Voltage swing is configured via I²C register writes (address 0x4A, registers 0x04–0x05) or pin-strapped resistor networks on VS_A/VS_B pins. Four selectable levels (800 mV, 900 mV, 1000 mV, 1100 mV differential) allow optimization for different cable lengths and sink input sensitivity without changing hardware.
