SiI 1162 DVI-compliant “eye” diagram

measured at 200 MHz.

The SiI 1162 is a DVI-compliant transmitter incorporating next-

of 25 to 165 MHz. As a result, the SiI 1162 supports LCD monitors

and projectors with resolutions that range from VGA to UXGA

to 1.65 Gbps per channel. The SiI 1162 incorporates an industry-

standard 12-bit (1/2 pixel per clock edge) interface for true color

(16.7 million) support. Built-in flexibility enables customers to use

The SiI 1162 is available in a low-cost, easier-to-use, 48-pin TSSOP

package with a 40% smaller footprint compared to other discrete

DVI transmitters. By incorporating the most advanced PanelLink DVI

technology available today, the SiI 1162 transmitter brings higher

performance and guaranteed compatibility to your DVI applications

while enabling faster time to market, smaller form factor designs and

lower system costs.

DVI-compliant Quality

The DVI 1.0 specification defines the precise system-level signaling at the output of a DVI

transmitter system and at the input of a DVI receiver system. As a result, any DVI-compliant

host will always interoperate with any DVI-compliant display. The most comprehensive

method to determine the quality and compliance of a DVI transmitter is to measure the TMDS

“eye” diagram as defined by the DVI 1.0 specification and the DVI Test & Measurement Guide.

Only high-performance PanelLink DVI transmitters, such as the SiI 1162, yield consistently

robust differential signal “eyes” that exceed the minimum “eye” width & height requirements of

the DVI specification at the full DVI bandwidth of 25-165 MHz.
