4. Detailed Description
The GV8501 is a high-speed BiCMOS IC designed to recover HDMI high-speed data and
clock signals, and DisplayPort high-speed data signals after transmission over lossy
media.
4.1 Serial Digital Inputs
AC coupling of the inputs is recommended, as the IN+ and IN- inputs are internally
biased at approximately 1.8V.
4.2 Mute and Loss of Signal
Note: This pin, MUTE, may be
connected directly to the LOS pin to
allow mute on loss of carrier.
The GV8501 has a MUTE input pin that allows the application interface to mute the serial
digital output at any time. Set the MUTE pin HIGH to mute OUT+ and OUT-.
A Loss Of Signal output pin (LOS) indicates the absence of a valid signal at the input of
the GV8501.
Table 4-1: Mute Input Table
Mute Function
0 OUT+ and OUT- operate normally
1 OUT+ and OUT- are forced to a steady
state
Table 4-2: Loss of Signal Output Table
LOS Input Status
0 Valid Input on IN+, IN- pins
1 Input is not valid
