Product Brief SiI9204 VastLane HDMI Transmitter PHY Applications Low-power, dual-mode HDMI™ 1.3 / MHL™ transmitter PHY for highdefinition consumer electronics • Blu-ray Disc Players and Recorders The VastLane™ SiI9204 is a dual-mode HDMI/MHL transmitter PHY designed for home- • High-Definition Set-Top Boxes theater applications, consumer electronics and high-end mobile devices. Together with Silicon Image’s digital link layer IP core that is integrated in the device’s system-on-a-chip • Personal Video Recorders (SoC), the SiI9204 PHY enables SoC suppliers to offer a low-cost yet extremely powerful HDMI solution in a single SoC design. Coupled with a full featured SoC, the SiI9204 can provide support for high-end HDMI 1.3 features such as high bit-rate audio and x.v.Color. Key Features • Dual-mode HDMI 1.3 and MHL With its SiI9002 compatibility mode, the SiI9204 is also attractive for those Silicon Image customers who already combine their SoCs with the SiI9002 PHY. • Supports Deep Color • Integrated CEC The SiI9204 PHY simplifies high-speed mixed The SiI9204 transmitter PHY combined with signal design by resolving many of the design Silicon Image’s SoC-integrated link layer IP challenges faced by consumer electronics SoC allows for shorter design cycles, simplified test- suppliers. The SiI9204 PHY supports a 12-bit ing and faster compliance versus full transmitter dual-edge digital interface to the SoC that integration. Silicon Image’s solution provides reduces SoC I/O requirements. Its integrated benefits of both approaches: lower bill-of-mate- Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) signifi- rials cost than discrete transmitter implementa- cantly reduces the bill-of-materials cost. tions and faster time-to-market and less chip I/O than full transmitter integration into the SoC. The SiI9204 PHY is capable of supporting color depths and resolutions up to 36-bit Deep Color @ 1080p/60.
