General Description
The MAX3816A DDC*/I2C extender automatically compensates for excess load capacitance of long DVI™, HDMI™, and VGA cables. A single MAX3816A placed at the display side of the link restores signal integrity bidirectionally for both DDC clock and data over 0 to 60 meters of cable.

FEATUREs
♦ DDC or I2C Cable Extension Up to 60 Meters at
   100kbps for Both Clock and Data Channels
♦ Single-Sided Solution Requires Only One
   MAX3816A at the Display Side
♦ Compensates for Cable Capacitance, 0 to 3000pF
   Guaranteed (8x I2C Specification), or Beyond
   5000pF Typical
♦ Parallel and Serial Operating Modes
♦ Prevents Ringing Due to Reflections by
   Terminating Transmission Line Impedance After
   Transitions
♦ Use with MAX3815 TMDS® Equalizer to Form a
   Complete Digital Video Extension Solution
♦ 3.0V to 5.5V Power Supply
♦ Optional Voltage Translation Between 5V Cable
   DDC and 3.3V Display DDC Levels
