1364ADD2 Card

Featuring the SiI 1364 PanelLink Transmitter

The 1364ADD2 PCI Express Digital Display card, a

production-ready reference card by Silicon Image, is a low-

cost solution that brings the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) to

any Intel 915G-based desktop PC with a PCI Express slot.

The 1364ADD2 card provides a simple add-in solution that

connects into the PCI Express slot of any 915G mother-

board with full hardware and software compatibility.

Equipped with the Silicon Image SiI 1364 DVI transmitter

chip, the 1364ADD2 card provides PC and motherboard

manufacturers a low-cost, all-digital video interface covering

the full range of digital display resolutions from VGA to

UXGA. Flat panel displays, digital projectors and digital CRTs

are all supported by this card. Incorporating PanelLink®

technology — Silicon Image’s proprietary implementation of

the DVI specification — the SiI 1364 is the market’s leading

DVI-compliant transmitter capable of running at the full

5 Gbps single-link bandwidth.

Using the 1364ADD2 card is seamless and easy. With a

small board size and the choice of a standard or low-profile

PCI Express bracket, the card can be universally installed in

any PC form factor. Simply insert

it into the x16 PCI Express slot

of any Intel 915G-equipped

motherboard, and the PC is

now fully DVI-ready. Upon boot

up, the system automatically

loads the ADD2 card configura-

tion information (stored in a serial

EEPROM) and configures the outputs to the PCI Express

pins with Intel’s x4 lane SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output)

interface. The configuration information file in Serial

Presence Detect (SPD) format software for the 1364ADD2

card is fully tested, certified and provided by Silicon Image

and Intel.

The 1364ADD2 card turns any Intel 915G-based PC into

a high-performance, DVI-compliant system capable of

supporting high-resolution digital displays. Fully hardware

and software qualified, the 1364ADD2 card reference design

can be brought to volume production quickly.
