HDMI 2.0 RX PHY in Samsung (8nm)

Overview

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
