Dual Mode DisplayPort™ Source 2:1 Multiplexer

The PS8321 is an integrated dual mode DisplayPortTM 2:1 mutliplexer. The dual mode DisplayPort output supports HDMI™/DVI compatibility through the use of a down-stream, level-shifting cable adapter (dongle). The device includes an automatic input equalizer to compensate for PCB signal loss. The DisplayPort output includes a repeater function complete with link training to assure system compliance test compatibility. All CMOS configuration input pins are internally pulled down by 150kΩ resistors, except for the cable adaptor detection pin.
