The Analog Devices AD8191N is a high‑performance HDMI/DVI video interface switch with built‑in equalization and pre‑emphasis designed for reliable routing of high‑speed digital video signals in advanced multimedia systems. It supports up to 1.65 Gbps TMDS data rates and pixel clocks of 25 MHz to 165 MHz, enabling full support for high‑resolution HDMI and DVI formats including 1080p and UXGA. The device integrates equalized TMDS inputs to compensate for signal loss over long cables and buffered outputs with pre‑emphasis to improve signal integrity. It features flexible switching modes that allow configuration as a 4:1 HDMI/DVI link switch, dual 8:1 channel switch, or single 16:1 switch. The AD8191N supports both serial (I²C) and parallel control interfaces for flexible system management. Packaged in a 100‑lead QFP (Quad Flat Package), this IC is ideal for use in displays, set‑top boxes, projectors, A/V receivers, and other high‑speed video hardware.
