What is differential signaling?
Differential signaling is used in many communication schemes including HDMI, USB, DVI, CAN, LVDS, and more. Differential signaling uses two wires and therefore two signals accomplish transmitting a series of bits from one point to another. In the figure below, the first image demonstrates single-ended signaling, which uses a single wire and pulses 0s and […]
HDBaseT reference design supports 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 content
Valens, the developer of HDBaseT and founder of the HDBaseT Alliance, announced the availability of a reference design for HDBaseT transmission of full 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0, including 4K 60 4:4:4. The reference design leverages Lattice Semiconductor’s video connectivity ASSPs (Application Specific Standard Product) to enable Ultra High-definition (UHD) video transmission using visually lossless compression, while […]
Extension to HDBaseT over IP standard will boost AV technology
The HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry group tasked with promoting and advancing the HDBaseT standard, announced today the development of an extension to the HDBaseT standard to support an HDBaseT over IP specification, and address the evolving needs of the audiovisual sector. HDBaseT over IP expands the current capabilities of the existing HDBaseT solutions today. It […]

Need more GPIO on your MCU? Try the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
SPI is a simple serial communication interface that was originally developed by Motorola in the 1980s for use over short distances of a few feet.[i] SPI can move up to several Mbps, is flexible enough to stream raw data in full duplex with little overhead, and is pretty flexible to work with. SPI supports standard […]
