[0038] Refer Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment discloses a specific implementation manner of a switching circuit for HDMI or DP display (hereinafter referred to as "circuit").
[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in Figure 2 , the label 1 at both ends of the resistor represents the first end of the resistor, and the label 2 represents the second end of the resistor.
[0040] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the switching circuit for HDMI or DP display includes a DP++ signal terminal, a single-pole double-throw electronic switch U1, a first resistor R1, a first triode Q1, a second resistor R2, a DP++ HPD signal terminal, a DP interface, and an HDMI interface. The first triode Q1 is an NPN-type triode; the DP++ HPD signal terminal is connected to the feedback pin DP_HPD of the DP interface through a first diode D1. HPD (Hot Plug Detect) is a hot plug detection signal; the DP++ HPD signal terminal is connected to the feedback pin HDMI_HPD of the HDMI interface through a second diode D2; HPD (Hot Plug Detect) is a hot plug detection signal for notifying the source device of the change in the connection status of the display (insertion or removal); the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 share the cathode and are grounded through a third resistor R3. The first diode D1 and the second diode D2 form a common-cathode diode, and the cathode of the common-cathode diode is connected to the DP++ HPD signal terminal; the collector C of the first triode Q1 is connected to the power supply through the first resistor R1, and the collector C of the first triode is also connected to the selection pin SEL of the single-pole double-throw electronic switch U1; the emitter E of the first triode Q1 is grounded, and the base B of the first triode Q1 is connected to the feedback pin DP_HPD of the DP interface and the positive electrode of the first diode D2 through the second resistor R2.
[0041] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3The DP++ signal terminal emits a MAIN LINK signal, which transmits a video signal to the DP interface or HDMI interface via a single-pole double-throw electronic switch U1. Specifically, the single-pole double-throw electronic switch U1 includes several DP signal output pins (pins 16-19 of U1) and several HDMI signal output pins (pins 32-45 of U1). The DP signal output pins are connected to the DP interface, and the HDMI signal output pins are connected to the HDMI interface. To transmit MAIN LINK signals, the circuit also includes a DP++ AUX signal channel and a DP++ DDC signal channel. The AUX signal channel (Auxiliary Channel) is an auxiliary channel of the DP interface, designed based on bidirectional differential signals, used to transmit control commands, status information, and a small amount of data. The DP++ signal terminal communicates with the DP interface through the AUX signal channel. The DDC signal channel (Display Data Channel) is the display data channel of the HDMI interface, used to transmit configuration information between the source device (such as a computer or game console) and the display device (such as a monitor or TV), ensuring that the two negotiate a compatible display mode. The DP++ signal terminal communicates with the HDMI interface through the DDC signal channel.

When an HDMI cable is inserted, the selection pin SEL(A) is pulled high by the first resistor R1 and the power supply VCC, the first transistor Q1 is cut off, and the MAIN LINK signal emitted by the DP++ signal terminal is connected to the HDMI interface through the HDMI signal output pin to match the HDMI video cable. When a video cable is inserted into the DP interface, the feedback pin DP_HPD of the DP interface outputs a high level, the base B of the first transistor Q1 is pulled high by the second resistor R2, and the first transistor Q1 is turned on. The selection pin SEL becomes low through the first transistor grounded Q1, and the single-pole double-throw electronic switch U1 switches to connect the selection pin SEL(A) and the second pin C. The MAIN LINK signal emitted by the DP++ signal terminal is connected to the DP interface through the DP signal output pin.
[0043] See Figure 2 and Figure 3When both the DP and HDMI interfaces are plugged into a video cable, the DP_HPD feedback pin of the DP interface outputs a high level, the base B of the first transistor Q1 is pulled to a high level by the second resistor R2, and the first transistor Q1 is turned on; the selection pin SEL becomes low level through the grounding of the first transistor Q1, and the single-pole double-throw electronic switch U1 switches to the selection pin SEL(A) and connects to the second pin C; the MAIN LINK signal emitted by the DP++ signal terminal is connected to the DP interface through the DP signal output pin.
