HDMI 2.0 RX 1P PHY 6Gbps in TSMC (28nm)

Overview

The Synopsys HDMI Receiver (RX) IP solutions are compliant with the High- Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 2.0 and 1.4 specifications and provide the necessary logic to implement and verify designs for various consumer electronic applications.
The power- and area-optimized HDMI RX IP solutions include a suite of configurable digital controllers and high-speed, mixed-signal PHY IP. Shipping in volume and having gone through extensive in-house and third-party interoperability testing, the IP solutions enable system-on-chip (SoC) designers to lower integration risk and accelerate time-to-market.
Synopsys’ complete HDMI IP solution consists of digital controllers, High- Bandwidth Digital Content (HDCP) embedded security modules (ESMs), PHYs and verification IP as well as IP Prototyping Kits with associated software and drivers.

Key Features

  • Aggregate bandwidth of 18 Gbps to support up to 4K x 2K resolution at 60 Hz frame rate and 8-bit per color for a flickerless ultra high-definition experience
  • 1, 2, or 4 input ports
  • Four levels of equalization for long cable support and clean signals
  • Adaptive equalization in RX core to compensate for the signal attenuation and inter-symbol interference caused by long cables
  • Integrated auto-calibrated 50? input termination resistors in RX core
  • Hot Plug Detect allows changing of cables and components without switching off the entire system
  • Integrated test features including scope, BIST and loopbacks
  • Optimized pin count, small area to ensure low BOM cost
  • Integrated audio return channel (ARC)
  • Support for 5V IO on all nodes (down to 28-nm nodes)
  • Aggressive ESD protection
  • Input clock from 25 MHz to 600 MHz range
