The design procedure for sink application is listed as follows:
- Determine the loss profile on the DP input (C) and output (D) channels and cables. See Figure 8-5 for 6mil trace insertion loss.
- Based on the loss profile, determine the optimal configuration for the TDP142, to pass electrical compliance.
- See Figure 8-4 for information on the source application that uses AC coupling capacitors, control pin resistors, and the recommended decouple capacitors from VCC pins to ground.
- AUX: Make sure the AUXP has a 1MΩ pullup resistor and the AUXN has a 1MΩ pulldown resistor. The 1MΩ resistors must be on the TDP142-Q1 side of the 100nF capacitors.
- HPDIN: Route the HPD signal to either pin 23 or pin 32 based on the GPIO/I2C
mode. With this setup, the TDP142-Q1 is able to conserve power when
a source is not connected.

- Configure the TDP142-Q1 using the GPIO terminals or the I2C interface:
- GPIO – Using the terminals DPEQ0 and DPEQ1.
- TI recommends to start a higher equalization value like 13dB and 15dB first and adjust the value if necessary.
- I2C – Refer to the I2C Register Maps and the Programming section for a detail configuration procedures.
- The thermal pad must be connected to ground.
