Product details
Overview
SN75DP122ARTQT from Texas Instruments is a Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1:2 switch IC with integrated TMDS level translation, supporting up to 2.7 Gbps DP and 2.5 Gbps TMDS data rates. It routes one DP input to either a DP output (port A) or a TMDS output (port B), while switching AUX/HPD/CAD channels and enabling HDMI/DVI connector recognition via I2C logic. Used in notebook docking stations and GPU video routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN75DP122ARTQT datasheet, SN75DP122ARTQT pinout, SN75DP122ARTQT application, or SN75DP122ARTQT equivalent, this page delivers verified signal integrity specs, dual-mode port selection behavior, ESD robustness (12 kV HSP, 8 kV AUX/I²C), QFN-56 package mapping, and real-world timing constraints for DP++ and HDMI/DVI interoperability.
Technical Context
The SN75DP122ARTQT implements a 2-to-1 MUX architecture with independent receiver equalization on the DP input path and active waveform mirroring on the DP output. Its internal switching logic uses HPD_SINK and TMDS_HPD_SINK states plus Priority pin to arbitrate between DP and TMDS ports.
It integrates a bidirectional AUX channel that operates as DisplayPort differential AUX when CAD_SINK = LOW and as I²C repeater (SCL/SDA) when CAD_SINK = HIGH, with configurable gain via DPVadj (6.49 kΩ nominal) and TMDS voltage swing control via VSadj (5.11 kΩ compliant).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DisplayPort-to-TMDS switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN75DP130RTQT | 2:2 DP switch with dual TMDS translators; supports simultaneous DP+HDMI output (no mux arbitration) | Used where concurrent dual-output operation is required instead of 1:2 port selection | Select SN75DP130RTQT when system needs independent DP and HDMI sinks active at once. |
| PI3DPX1202ZLEX | Single-supply (3.3 V) DP++ switch; no dedicated VDD rail; lower ESD (8 kV HBM on DP lanes) | Targeted at space-constrained mobile designs; lacks DPVadj/VSadj tuning and I²C connector ID logic | Choose PI3DPX1202ZLEX for cost-sensitive, low-power embedded graphics where tuning and HDMI/DVI differentiation are not required. |
Compared with SN75DP122ARTQT, SN75DP130RTQT enables parallel output but increases complexity and power; PI3DPX1202ZLEX reduces supply count and footprint but sacrifices gain control, ESD margin, and HDMI/DVI auto-detection - making SN75DP122ARTQT optimal for robust, feature-complete DP++ docking solutions.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN75DP122ARTQT?
The SN75DP122ARTQT is a DisplayPort 1:2 switch IC that routes a single Dual-Mode DisplayPort input to either a DisplayPort output or a TMDS output compliant with HDMI 1.3b and DVI 1.0. It handles main link, AUX, HPD, and CAD signal switching while providing integrated level translation, gain control, and connector identification logic - all within the SN75DP122ARTQT device.
Does the SN75DP122ARTQT support simultaneous DP and HDMI output?
No, the SN75DP122ARTQT is a 1:2 selector, not a splitter - it routes the input to only one output port at a time. Port selection is determined by HPD status on DP_HPD_SINK and TMDS_HPD_SINK pins plus the Priority pin. Simultaneous output requires a different device such as the SN75DP130RTQT, not the SN75DP122ARTQT.
How does the SN75DP122ARTQT handle AUX channel protocol translation?
The SN75DP122ARTQT switches the AUX channel between DisplayPort differential mode (when CAD_SINK = LOW) and I²C repeater mode (when CAD_SINK = HIGH). In I²C mode, it isolates parasitics and enables DDC/EDID communication over TMDS links. This dual-mode behavior is intrinsic to the SN75DP122ARTQT and requires no external configuration beyond CAD_SINK pin state.
What are the supply voltage requirements for the SN75DP122ARTQT?
The SN75DP122ARTQT requires two supplies: VDD = 4.5–5.25 V powers the DisplayPort interface and digital logic, while VCC = 3.0–3.6 V powers the TMDS level translator. VDD*1 (HPD/CAD reference) must match VDD. These rails are strictly separated per the SN75DP122ARTQT datasheet to ensure signal integrity and compliance.
Can the SN75DP122ARTQT be used in automotive infotainment systems?
The SN75DP122ARTQT is characterized for 0°C to +85°C ambient operation and is not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 temperature grades or vibration/shock requirements. While functionally capable of video switching, its commercial-grade qualification makes it unsuitable for automotive infotainment without additional system-level validation - TI does not recommend the SN75DP122ARTQT for automotive use cases.
