SILICONIMAGE SII9226

Product Brief
SiI9226
VastLane™ Mobile HD Link Transmitter
Applications
Low pin-count, HD video solution for mobile phones, digital still
cameras, portable media players & camcorders
• Mobile Phones
The Silicon Image SiI9226 is an ultra low-power Mobile HD Link™ (MHL™) transmitter
designed for power-sensitive consumer electronics devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, portable media players, HD camcorders and other portable devices.
Together with its companion MHL HDMI bridge, the SiI9226 delivers a low-cost, low-pin
count, HDMI-interoperable HDTV connectivity solution to mobile electronics world.
The SiI9226 transmitter is the world’s first lowpin-count digital media transmitter featuring single data lane Transition Minimized Differential
Signaling (TMDS), which reduces pin-count for
small devices. The SiI9226 transmitter delivers
full high-definition video and digital audio
through three pins on most mobile connectors.
Utilizing only two differential TMDS pairs for
audio/video packets and a single-wire control
bus, MHL delivers the necessary video bandwidth and replicates all the required control signals that comes with the traditional 19-pin
HDMI interface. A low-cost companion MHL
bridge chip converts the MHL signaling to
HDMI compliant signals for connectivity to
HDMI enabled DTVs.
In order to fit into the tight constraints of
today’s highly integrated mobile electronics, the
SiI9226 Typical Application
SiI9226 transmitter is housed in a tiny 5mm x
5mm, 64-ball chip scale VFBGA package. Even
in this diminutive package, the MHL transmitters do not scrimp on performance, supporting
resolutions from standard definition 480i/p all
the way up to high-definition 720p and 1080i.
Silicon Image MHL products are designed
according to the requirements of the market segments. Together with its MHL-to-HDMI bridge,
SiI9226 is compliant with the latest version of
the industry leading HDMI standard for those
market segments. The SiI9226 carries audio/
video packets and control signals that are fully
interoperable with the HDMI interface. In addition, all Silicon Image hardware and software
solutions are developed and verified according
to the latest HDMI Compliant Test Specification
and Simplay HD™ HDCP interoperability compliance requirements.
