Overview
The PTN3360DBS,518 is a high-speed level shifter device produced by NXP USA Inc. This component is designed to convert four lanes of low-swing AC-coupled differential input signals to DVI v1.0 and HDMI v1.4b compliant open-drain current-steering differential output signals. It supports data rates up to 3.0 Gbit/s per lane, enabling the transmission of 36-bit deep color mode, 4K × 2K video format, or 3D video data. The device is particularly useful in multi-mode display source devices that need to support multiple display standards while minimizing the number of chipset I/O pins.

Key Features
- Converts low-swing AC-coupled differential input signals to DVI v1.0 and HDMI v1.4b compliant output signals.
- Supports data rates up to 3.0 Gbit/s per lane for 36-bit deep color mode, 4K × 2K video format, or 3D video data transport.
- Provides active buffering and level shifting of the DDC channel (clock and data lines) between 3.3 V source-side and 5 V sink-side.
- Includes a single-ended active buffer for voltage translation of the HPD signal from 5 V on the sink side to 3.3 V on the source side.
- Features rise time accelerator on sink-side DDC ports for driving long cables or high bus capacitance.
- Back-power safe design on sink-side terminals to prevent backdrive current when power is off or when DDC is not enabled.
- Power-saving modes to minimize current consumption when no display is active or connected.
- Programmable equalizer for better high-speed performance.
Applications
