HDMI™/DVI Repeater and Level Shifter for AC Coupled Source Device

The PS8201 is a repeater for HDMI or DVI digital video interface applications.  The PS8201 can accept either DC or AC coupled TMDS clock and data inputs, allowing it to serve as a voltage level shifter for source devices that utilize a low-voltage, AC coupled HDMI or DVI transmitter.  The PS8201 outputs DC coupled HDMI/DVI signaling that is compatible with the HDMI/DVI video standards.
