4-input/1-output HDMI Switch IC
|
The BU16020KV, ROHM's newest HDMI switch IC, features 3-input switching capability and support for HDMI ver. 1.3a. An equalizer, multiplexer, and high speed differential driver with DDC buffer amp are integrated into a single chip, resulting in stable 2.7Gbps audio/video transmission over long cables up to 20m in length. In addition, RAM is built in for storing EDID (monitor) information.
