The Adafruit DVI Breakout Board provides an HDMI-compatible connector with 220 Ω series resistors for generating DVI video output from microcontrollers. Designed as a source-only device, it lets you drive HDMI monitors and displays from boards like the Raspberry Pi Pico using the RP2040's PIO system.

This is a passive breakout with no active components — just the HDMI connector and series resistors on a compact PCB. There are unpopulated pads for an I2C EEPROM and pull-up resistors for advanced users who want to create a sink device with EDID, but these are not fitted by default.

Key Features

• HDMI/DVI Connector – Standard HDMI port for connecting to any HDMI monitor or display
• 220 Ω Series Resistors – Fitted on all data and clock lines for proper signal termination
• Passive Design – No active components; purely a connector breakout with resistors
• Source-Only – Intended for video output from a microcontroller, not for receiving video
• Compact PCB – Breadboard-friendly form factor with labelled pins
