AD8196ACPZ

Specialized ICS Overview

The AD8196ACPZ is a 2:1 HDMI/DVI switch featuring equalized TMDS inputs and pre-emphasized TMDS outputs, ideal for systems with long cable runs. It supports data rates up to 2.25 Gbps (HDMI 1.3) across four TMDS channels per link. The device includes input cable equalization (up to 12 dB) and pre-emphasized outputs to maintain signal integrity over cables exceeding 20 meters at maximum data rates. It features auxiliary switches for DDC bus routing and operates on a single 3.3 V supply with 5 V tolerant auxiliary lines. Packaged in a 56-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package [LFCSP_VQ], it complies with HDMI 1.3 and HDCP standards.

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'ACPZ' corresponds to the specific package variant (56-Lead LFCSP_VQ) and lead-free status as defined in the manufacturer's official ordering guide. Confirm that the procurement source provides documentation matching the Rev. C datasheet specifications for the AD8196 series.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2:1 HDMI/DVI switch with integrated receiver equalization is required for high-bandwidth video signals. Ensure the design accommodates the 56-lead LFCSP package dimensions (8 mm x 8 mm). Verify that the system power supply architecture supports the specified AVCC (3.3 V) and AMUXVCC (3.3 V to 5 V) requirements for proper auxiliary channel operation.
