Transmitter

Figure 1. Transmitter Board
  • The GT transmitter does not support TMDS Level Signaling and must be used with a cable driver to be compliant with TMDS specifications.
  • TMDS Level Shifting can be done using external level shifter ASSPs such as:
    • ON Semiconductor NB7NQ621M
  • Board design simulation must be done to ensure proper operation.

Receiver

Figure 2. Receiver Board
  • The GT Receiver does not support TMDS Level Signaling and must be used with a retimer or equalizer to be compliant with the TMDS specification.
  • TMDS levels are emulated using external pull-up resistors (located close to the FPGA GTs).
  • Use recommended external TMDS EQ chip such as:
    • ON Semiconductor NB7NQ621M
  • Board design simulation must be done to ensure proper operation.
