HD3SS215ZQER

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The HD3SS215ZQER is a high-speed differential switch manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2a applications. It supports data rates up to 6 Gbps per lane, enabling compatibility with HDMI 2.0 (18 Gbps total) and DisplayPort 1.2 (17.28 Gbps total). The device functions as a 2:1 multiplexer or 1:2 demultiplexer for four pairs of differential signals. It operates on a single 3.3 V supply voltage with a maximum quiescent current of 3.2 mA. The component is housed in a 50-pin Microstar Junior BGA package and is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Supports dual-mode operation for both HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2a protocols within a single integrated circuit.
• Provides low insertion loss and minimal signal distortion for high-frequency differential video signals.
• Features automatic source detection logic to manage switching between input sources without external control overhead.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Applications

• Display porting solutions for laptops and desktop computers
• Docking stations requiring video signal switching
• KVM switches for multi-source video management

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZQER against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity level specifications for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring seamless switching between two HDMI/DP sources or distribution to two displays. Ensure the PCB layout adheres to TI's high-speed design guidelines to maintain signal integrity at 6 Gbps. Verify that the power supply decoupling meets the recommended values for stable operation under varying load conditions.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Part Context

The HD3SS215 belongs to Texas Instruments' family of high-speed video switch ICs. It is engineered to replace discrete switching solutions, reducing board space and complexity. The device integrates necessary termination resistors and control logic, making it suitable for compact consumer electronics and professional AV equipment where signal fidelity is critical.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions of the HD3SS215 series. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility with alternative vendors if sourcing constraints exist. Confirm that any substitute maintains the same 6 Gbps bandwidth and protocol support for HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2a.
