MicroCross™ DVI Connectors and Cable Assemblies Based on an innovative use of "crossing" ground blades to provide high-speed electrical performance, MicroCross™ DVI interconnects support digital and/or analog video functions in one connector system. MicroCross DVI connectors and cable assemblies are the standard interface to connect a host device to a monitor, for supporting high-resolution video applications. Supporting one or two digital links driven by TMDS‡ (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) and/or a high bandwidth analog interface, MicroCross DVI provides a single high-performance interface, saving board space and lowering system costs.
The innovative crossing ground blade design and LFH™ (Low Force Helix) contact interface design provides the industry with a video interface design that will support over 1.65 Gbps per differential pair (for a total 9.9 Gbps over a dual link implementation) and 2.5GHz support for the analog interface. These features provide the performance headroom it needed for future growth and development of video products. The interface provides the added benefit of a high-cycle-life interface for mobile applications, and the improved EMI/RFI performance needed for high-speed links. EMI performance is achieved through the 360° shielding of the MicroCross DVI cable and connector design.
