TDK Corporation announced that it has developed a wide-band thin-film common mode filter for EMI suppression on DisplayPort interfaces. The new product which carries the designation TCM1210U-500-2P will be available beginning July 2008.
The new filter measures 1.25 mm (L) x 1.0 mm (W) x 0.6 mm (T) in size and is designed specifically to suppress noise on DisplayPort connections, a new standard for signal transmission between computers or audiovisual equipment and display monitors at speeds that exceed even HDMI (2.25 Gbit/s). A DisplayPort link uses up to four lines, each rated for 2.7 Gbit/s, resulting in a total transfer rate of 10.8 Gbit/s. The demand for EMI suppression components in this area is expected to grow significantly in the near future.Learn more at the TDK web site.
