MS9332 IC

The MS9332 is a one-to-two active splitter that supports a signaling rate up to 3.0Gbps. With 3.0Gbps capability, the MS9332 can support the new 4K@30Hz video format. The MS9332 equalizes incoming TMDS data with optimal quality regardless of the incoming signal quality. The highly acclaimed equalization technology provides for support of long or low-quality HDMI cables at even the highest speeds. Input terminations of the TMDS inputs and output current levels are both programmable. The chip also supports on-chip HDCP Keys RAM and EDID Memory. mirror
