3 Description

The TMDS181x is a digital video interface (DVI) or high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI™ ) retimer. The TMDS181x supports four TMDS channels, audio return channel (SPDIF_IN/ARC_OUT), and digital display control (DDC) interfaces. The TMDS181x supports signaling rates up to 6 Gbps to allow for the highest resolutions of 4k2k60p 24 bits per pixel and up to WUXGA 16-bit color depth or 1080p with higher refresh rates. The TMDS181x can be configured to support the HDMI2.0a standard. The TMDS181x automatically configures itself as a redriver at low data rate (<1.0 Gbps) or as a retimer above this data rate. Redriver mode supports HDMI1.4b with data rates up to 3.4 Gbps The TMDS181x supports dual power supply rails of 1.2 V on VDD and 3.3 V on VCC for power reduction. Several methods of power management are implemented to reduce overall power consumption. TMDS181x supports fixed receive EQ gain or adaptive receive EQ control by I2C or pin strap to compensate for different lengths input cable or board traces.

8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

The TMDS181 is a DVI or HDMI™ retimer. The TMDS181 supports four TMDS channels, audio return channel (SPDIF_IN/ARC_OUT), hot plug detect, and DDC interfaces. The TMDS181 supports signaling rates up to 6 Gbps in retimer mode to allow for the highest resolutions of 4k2k60p 24 bits per pixel and up to WUXGA 16-bit color depth or 1080p with higher refresh rates. In redriver mode it supports HDMI1.4b with data rates up to 3.4 Gbps. The TMDS181 can be configured to support the HDMI2.0a standard which includes higher data rate, lower clock swing, and clock frequency. The TMDS181 can automatically configure itself as a redriver at low data rate (<1.0 Gbps) or as a retimer above this data rate. For passing compliance and reducing system-level design issues, several features are included such as TMDS output amplitude adjust using an external resistor on the VSADJ pin and source termination selection control. Device operation and configuration can be programmed by pin strapping or I2C. Four TMDS181s can be used on one I2C bus when I2C_EN enable and device address set by A0/A1. To reduce active power, the TMDS181 supports dual power supply rails of 1.2 V on VDD and 3.3 V on VCC. There are several methods of power management, such as going into power-down mode using three methods:

  • HPD is low
  • Writing a 1 to register 09h[3]
  • De-asserting OE De-asserting OE clears the I2C registers, thus once reasserted the device must be reprogrammed if I2C was used for device setup. Upon return to normal active operation from reasserted OE or reasserted HPD, the TMDS181 requires the source to write a 1 to the TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS bit for the TMDS181 to resume 1/40th clock mode. The TMDS181 does not reset this bit based upon a DDC read transaction. The SIG_EN pin enables the signal detect circuit that provides an automatic power-management feature during normal operation. When no valid signal is present on the inputs, the device will enter standby mode. By disabling the detect circuit, the receiver block is always on. DDC bridge supports the HDMI2.0 SCDC communication, 100 Kbps data rate default and 400 kbps adjustable by software. TMDS181 supports both fixed EQ gain control or adaptive equalization to compensate for different lengths of input cables or board traces. The EQ gain can be software adjusted by I2C control or selection between two fixed values or adaptive (Retimer Mode Only) equalization by pin strapping EQ_SEL pin. The customer can pull up or down TX_TERM_CTL through a 65 kΩ resistor to change the termination impedance for improved output performance when working in HDMI1.4b or leave it not connected. When not connected, the TMDS181 in conjunction with the rate detect automatically changes its output termination to meet HDMI1.4b or HDMI2.0a needs. For HDMI1.4b a transmitter termination of 150 Ω to 300 Ω is allowed for data rates above 2 Gbps to compensate for reflections. The automatic termination selection will configure the TMDS181 for this. It is important to note that there are times that this is not the best solution and no termination may be needed to pass compliance. For HDMI2.0a the 75 Ω to 150 Ω transmitter termination is required and the link will not work if this is not set. The TMDS181 supports the audio return channel to support HDMI1.4b. To make implementation easier, the TMDS181 supports input pin swapping and input polarity swap. When swapping the input pins, IN_CLK and IN_D2 swap and IN_D1 and IN_D0 swap with each other. Swap works in both retimer and redriver mode. Polarity swap exchanges the N and P channel polarity in each input lane and is only available during retimer mode. Lane swap and polarity swap can be implemented at the same time in retimer mode. Two temperature gradient versions of the device are available: extended commercial temperature range 0ºC to 85ºC (TMDS181) and industrial temperature range from –40ºC to 85ºC (TMDS181I).

8.2 Functional Block Diagram

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Reset Implementation

When OE is de-asserted, control signal inputs are ignored; the HDMI inputs and outputs are high impedance. It is critical to transition the OE from a low level to a high level after the VCC supply has reached the minimum recommended operating voltage. Achieve this transition by a control signal to the OE input, or by an external capacitor connected between OE and GND. To ensure the TMDS181 is properly reset, the OE pin must be de- asserted for at least 100 μs before being asserted. When OE is reasserted, the TMDS181 must be

8.4.2 Redriver Mode

The TMDS181 also has a redriver mode that can be enabled through I2C, at reg0Ah[1:0] DEV_FUNC_MODE, which compensates for ISI channel loss. In this mode, power is reduced as the CDR and PLL are turned off. When in automatic mode, the TMDS181 is in redriver mode for data rates <1.0 Gbps. By using I2C, the device can be put in redriver mode for the complete data range of 250 Mbps to 3.4 Gbps. This is done by writing a 00 to register 0Ah[1:0]. If the link has excessive random jitter, then retimer mode is the best operating mode. When in redriver mode, the device only compensates for ISI loss. When in redriver mode compliance is not guaranteed as skew compensation and retiming functions are disabled. If a significant amount of random jitter is present, the system may not pass compliance at the connector. 8.4.3 DDC Training for HDMI2.0a Data Rate Monitor As part of discovery, the source reads the sink’s E-EDID information to understand the capabilities of the sink. Part of this read is HDMI Forum Vendor Specific Data Block (HF-VSDB) MAX_TMDS_Character_Rate byte to determine the data rate supported. Depending upon the value, the source writes to slave address 0xA8 offset 0x20 bit1, TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS. The TMDS181 snoops this write to determine the TMDS clock ratio and thus sets its own TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS bit accordingly. If a 1 is written, then the TMDS clock is set to 1/40th of TMDS bit period. If a 0 is written, then the TMDS clock is set to 1/10th of TMDS bit period. The TMDS181 defaults to 1/10th of TMDS bit period unless a 1 is written to address 0xA8 offset 0x20 bit 1. When HPD is deasserted, this bit is reset to default values. If the source does not write this bit, the TMDS181 will not be configured for TMDS clock 1/40th mode in support of HDMI2.0a. As the TMDS181 is in the system link, but not recognized as part of the link, it is possible that the source could read the sink EDID where this bit is set and does not rewrite this bit. If the TMDS181 has entered a power-down state, this bit is cleared and does not re-set on a read. To work properly, the bit has to be set again with a write by the source.

8.4.4 DDC Functional Description

The TMDS181 solves sink/source level issues by implementing a master/slave control mode for the DDC bus. When the TMDS181 detects the start condition on the DDC bus from the SDA_SRC/SCL_SRC, it will transfer the data or clock signal to the SDA_SNK/SCL_SNK with little propagation delay. When SDA_SNK detects the feedback from the downstream device, the TMDS181 will pull up or pull down the SDA_SRC bus and deliver the signal to the source. The DDC link defaults to 100 kbps but can be set to various values including 400 kbps by setting the correct value to address 0Bh through the I2C interface. The DDC lines are 5 V tolerant when the device is powered off. NOTE The TMDS181 utilizes clock stretching for DDC transactions. As there are sources and sinks that do not perform this function correctly a system may not work correctly as DDC transactions are incorrectly transmitted/received. To overcome this a snoop configuration can be implemented where the SDA/SCL from the source is connected directly to the SDA/SCL sink. The TMDS181 will need its SDA_SNK and SCL_SNK pins connected to this link in order to correctly configure the TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS bit. Care must be taken when this configuration is being implemented as the voltage levels for DDC between the source and sink may be different, 3.3 V vs 5 V; See Figure 35 and See Figure 36

8.4.5 Mode Selection Functional Description

Mode selection definition: This bit lets the receiver know where the device is located in a system for the purpose of centering the AEQ point. The TMDS181 is targeting sink applications, so the default value is 1, which will center the EQ at 12 to 13 dB depending upon TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS value (see Equalization Control Register). If the TMDS181 is in a source application, the value should be changed to a value of 0, which centers the EQ at 6.5 to 7.5 dB depending upon the TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS value.

  • Set the VOD, pre-emphasis and termination levels appropriately to support a link between TMDS181 and HDMI RX/chipset by using the appropriate VSADJ resistor value and setting PRE_SEL and TX_TERM_CTL control pins.
  • The thermal pad must be connected to ground.
  • See schematics in Figure 35 on recommended decoupling capacitors from VCC pins to ground.
  • Because the HDMI ecosystem supporting 4k2kp60 is not mature, TI recommends to design the TMDS181 into the sink application as shown in Figure 36.

9.2.3.1 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.3.1.1 DDC Pullup Resistors

The pullup resistor value is determined by two requirements.

  1. The maximum sink current of the I2C buffer: The maximum sink current is 3 mA or slightly higher for an I2C driver

supporting standard-mode I2C operation.

  1. The maximum transition time on the bus: The maximum transition time, T, of an I2C bus is set by an RC time constant.

of k under different threshold combinations.

  • R is the pullup resistor value.
  • C is the total load capacitance. (2) (3)

Table 10. Value k upon Different Input Threshold Voltages R(max) as shown in Table 11. Table 11. Pullup Resistor Upon Different Threshold Voltages and 800 pF Loads a maximum 800-pF load capacitance for a standard-mode I2C bus.

9.2.3.1.2 Compliance Testing

compliance testing. As each system is different there are many features in the TMDS181 to help tune the circuit. when using I2C as this provides more fine tuning capability.

  • VSADJ Resistor = 7.06 kΩ: Note: This value may be changed in order to improve Intra-pair skew margin but will increase output VOD so care must be taken to avoid VOD and VL compliance issues.
  • PRE_SEL = L for -2 dB (For Intra-pair Skew)
  • TX_TERM_CTL = NC for Auto Select.
  • VSADJ Resistor = 7.06 kΩ: This value may be changed in order to improve Intra-pair skew but will increase VOD so care must be taken to avoid VOD and VL compliance issues. The VOD can be increased or decreased by using I2C Reg0Ch[7:2]
  • PRE_SEL = Reg0Ch[1:0] = 01 for -2 dB (Labeled HDMI_TWPST)
  • TX_TERM_CTL = NC for Auto Select. – Reg0Bh[4:3] = 00 → No TX Term; HDMI1.4b < 2 Gbps (This may be best value for all HDMI1.4b) – Reg0Bh[4:3] = 01 → 150 Ω to 300 Ω; HDMI1.4b > 2 Gbps – Reg0Bh[4:3] = 11 → 75 Ω to 150 Ω; HDMI2.0a

10 Power Supply Recommendations

operates in three different working states.

  • Power-down mode: – OE = Low puts the device into its lowest power state by shutting down all function blocks. – When OE is reasserted, the transitions from L → H create a reset, and if the device is programmed through I2C, it must be reprogrammed. – Writing a 1 to register 09h[3]. – OE = High, HPD_SNK = Low
  • Standby mode: HPD_SNK = High, but no valid clock signal detect on clock lane.
  • Normal operation: Working in redriver or retimer
  • When HPD asserts, the device CDR and output enables based on the signal detector circuit result.
  • HPD_SRC = HPD_SNK in all conditions. The HPD channel is operational when VCC is over 3 V. NOTE 1. When the TMDS181 is put into a power-down state, the I2C registers are cleared. This is important as the TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS bit will be cleared. If cleared and HDMI2.0 resolutions are to be supported, the TMDS181 expects the source to write a 1 to this bit location. If this does not happen, the PLL will not be set properly and no video may be evident. 2. Power performance of the TMDS181 is highly dependent upon the HDMI transmitter architecture driving the TMDS181 receiver. The TMDS181 has integrated the termination resistors, which increases the power consumption on the 3.3 V rail by as much as 400 mW. This is the power required by the HDMI transmitter to switch and not needed by the TMDS181 to operate properly.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

For the TMDS181 on a high-K board: It is required to solder the PowerPAD™ onto the thermal land to ground. TMDS181 can operate over the full temperature range by soldering the PowerPAD onto the thermal land.

  • Routing the high-speed TMDS traces on the top layer avoids the use of vias (and their discontinuities) and allows for clean interconnects from the HDMI connectors to the retimer inputs and outputs. It is important to match the electrical length of these high-speed traces to minimize both inter-pair and intra-pair skew.
  • Placing a solid ground plane next to the high-speed single layer establishes controlled impedance for transmission link interconnects and provides an excellent low-inductance path for the return current flow.
  • Placing a power plane next to the ground plane creates an additional high-frequency bypass capacitance.
  • Routing slower-speed control signals on the bottom layer allows for greater flexibility because these signal links usually have margin to tolerate discontinuities such as vias.
  • If an additional supply voltage plane or signal layer is needed, add a second power/ground plane system to the stack to keep symmetry. This makes the stack mechanically stable and prevents it from warping. Also, the power and ground plane of each power system can be placed closer together, thus increasing the high- frequency bypass capacitance significantly.
