HTQFP (PZP) 100 256 mm² 16 x 16
  • Supports pixel rates up to 165 MHz (including 1080p and WUXGA at 60 Hz)
  • Digital visual interface (DVI) specification compliant (1)
  • True-color, 24-bit/pixel, 16.7M colors at 1 or 2 pixels per clock
  • Laser trimmed internal termination resistors for optimum fixed impedance matching
  • Skew tolerant up to one pixel-clock cycle
  • 4× oversampling
  • Reduced power consumption – 1.8-V core operation with 3.3-V I/Os and supplies (2)
  • Reduced ground bounce using time-staggered pixel outputs
  • Low noise and good power dissipation using TI PowerPAD™ packaging
  • Advanced technology using TI 0.18-µm EPIC-5 CMOS process
  • TFP401A incorporates HSYNC jitter immunity (3)

(1)The Digital Visual Interface Specification, DVI, is an industry standard developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for high-speed digital connection to digital displays. The TPF401 and TFP401A are compliant with the DVI Specification Rev. 1.0.

(2)The TFP401/401A has an internal voltage regulator that provides the 1.8-V core power supply from the external 3.3-V supplies.

(3)The TFP401A incorporates additional circuitry to create a stable HSYNC from DVI transmitters that introduce undesirable jitter on the transmitted HSYNC signal.
