What special considerations should be made for routing DVI (TMDS) signals through a FET multiplexer, such as the Pericom P13DBV20 ( http://www.pericom.com/products/switch/assp/psempart.php?productID=PI3DBV20 ) or the IDT QS4A201 ( http://www.idt.com/products/pages/Bus_Switches-QS4A201.html ) ? Has anyone used these parts, can comment on their use in this application? DVI impedance is 100 ohm differential. As the switch on resistance is about 4 ohms, should I route from the DVI transmitter 46 ohm (loosely coupled) traces to the switch, and then 50 ohm to the connector? I assume I will need to increase the drive slightly to make up for the insertion loss. What sort of performance loss compared to continuous copper trace routes should I expect? Any ideas much appreciated, Ivor Bowden ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
