DDI Design Consideration
» For sufficient signal quality baseboard designs with long signal lanes or impedance leaps may require an Equalizer
or Re-driver for the digital display interfaces
» DDI hot-plug detection is high active
» DisplayPort can be used directly or with external adapters for HDMI, DVI or VGA
» HDMI or DVI usage on a baseboard requires a level shifter

DVI-I Design Topology
DVI-I is supported on PCH Digital Display Port B (COM DDI1) only. The implementation involves routing VGA and DVI-D
signals to DVI-I connector:
» VGA port RGB signals should be routed to Analog RGB pins on the DVI-I connector
» DVI Data and Clock signals on PCH Digital Display Port B should be routed to TMDS Data 0, 1 and 2 pins and TMDS
Clock pin of DVI-I connector respectively
» DVI HPD signals should be routed to the HPD pin of the DVI-I connector
» DVI DDC Clock and Data signals on PCH Digital Display Port B should be routed to the DDC Clock and Data pins of the
DVI-I connector.
