The CS5218 is a single port HDMI/DVI Level Shifter/Repeater with re-timing. It supports AC and DC coupled TMDS signals up to 3.0-Gbps operation with programmable equalization and jitter cleaning. It includes Type 2 Dual-Mode DP Cable Adaptor registers which can be used to identify the cable adaptor’s capabilities. The jitter cleaning PLL can better meet HDMI jitter compliance for higher data rates. Device operation and configuration can be realized through pin settings or I2C bus. Automatic power down and squelch provide flexible power management.
