Si/So
THCV233 and THCV234 are V-by-One® HS High-speed
video data transmitter/receiver with bi-directional transceiver.
They convey not only video data (Main-Link), but also
bi-directional system control data (Sub-Link) that is driven
by 2-wire serial interface. HOST CPU-side of Sub-Link is
selectable on each device and the other side of Sub-Link*
integrates I/O expander.
THCV233-234 system is able to watch and control
peripheral devices via 2-wire serial interface or GPIOs. They
also can report interrupt events caused by change of GPIO
inputs and internal statuses.

Functional Overview
With High Speed CML SerDes, proprietary encoding scheme and CDR (Clock and Data Recovery) architecture,
THCV233 and THCV234 enable transmission of 24/32bit video data, 2bit control data and Data Enable (DE)
through Main-Link by single/dual differential pair cable with minimal external components. In addition,
THCV233 and THCV234 has Sub-Link which enables bi-directional transmission of 2-wire interface signals,
GPIO signals and also HTPDN/LOCKN signals for Main-Link through the other 1-pair of CML-Line. It does not
need any external frequency reference, such as a crystal oscillator.
THCV233, transmitter of Main-Link, inputs LVDS data (including video data, control data and DE) and
serializes video data and control data separately, depending on polarity of DE. DE is a signal which indicates
whether video or control data are active. When DE is high, it serializes video data inputs into CML data streams.
And it transmits serialized control data when DE is low. Instead of DE in the LVDS format, THCV233 has
ALNIN LVCMOS-input pin, which enables to transfer LVDS input data with external DE input via ALNIN.
THCV234, receiver of Main-Link, automatically extracts clock from the incoming data streams and converts
high-speed serial data into video data with DE being high or control data with DE being low, recognizing which
type of serial data is being sent by transmitter. And it outputs the recovered data in the form of LVDS data.
THCV234 has ALNOUT output pin which transmits DE signal in LVCMOS. THCV234 can seamlessly operate
for a wide range of a serial bit rate from 270Mbps to 3.4Gbps/lane.

Data Enable Requirement (DE)
There are some requirements for DE signal as described in Figure 3, Figure 4 Figure 14 and Table 31.
If DE=Low, control data of same cycle and particular assigned data bit ‘CTL’ except the first and the last pixel are
transmitted. Otherwise video data are transmitted during DE=High.
Control data from receiver in DE=High period are previous data of DE transition. See Figure 4.
The length of DE being low and high is at least 2 clock cycles long, as described in Figure 14 and Table 31.
Data Enable must be toggled like High -> Low -> High at regular interval.

Data alignment indicator input of THCV233 (ALNIN)
ALNIN is external DE input. When input LVDS does not contain DE signal, DE can be provided via ALNIN.
Activation setting of ALNIN function is described in the following “Data Enable Select of THCV233”.
Data alignment indicator output of THCV234 (ALNOUT)
ALNOUT output DE timing depending upon data stream state.
Data Enable Select of THCV233
Depending on pin or register setting THCV233 can deal with several DE alternatives.
When PDN[1:0]=LH, SCL pin is worked as "choice of DE input" selector.
H : DE input from LVDS is used for processing, L : DE input from ALNIN is used for processing
When PDN[1:0]=HH, register setting determines the following. Default “From LVDS, normal polarity, TLC[6]”
See register mapping. When DE input bit is from TLC[5] or TLC[4], operation follows Figure 4.

Lock detect and Hot-plug function
When IOSEL=L, LOCKN and HTPDN are both open drain outputs from THCV234. Pull-up resistors are needed
at THCV233 side to 3.3V. See Figure 9.
If THCV234 is not active (power down mode (PDN[0]=L) or powered off), HTPDN is open. Otherwise, HTPDN
is pulled down by THCV234.
HTPDN of THCV233 side is high when THCV234 is not active or the receiver board is not connected. Then
THCV233 enters into the power down mode. When HTPDN transits from High to Low, THCV233 starts up and
transmits training pattern for link training.
LOCKN indicates whether THCV234 is in the lock state or not. If THCV234 is in the unlock state, LOCKN is
open. Otherwise (in the lock state), it’s pulled down by THCV234.
THCV233 keeps transmitting training pattern until LOCKN transits to Low. After training done, THCV234 sinks
current and LOCKN is Low. Then THCV233 starts transmitting normal video pattern.
When IOSEL=H, equivalent training processes are driven by Sub-Link.

Field BET Operation
In order to help users to check validity of high speed serial lines (Main-link), THCV233/THCV234 has an
operation mode in which they act as a bit error tester (BET). In this mode, THCV233 internally generates test
pattern which is then serialized onto the Main-link. THCV234 receives the data stream and checks bit errors.
This "Field BET" mode is activated by setting BET= H both on THCV233 and THCV234. Pattern Generator
CLK is from LVDS-CLK and the pattern is then 8b/10b encoded, scrambled, and serialized onto the Main-link. As
for THCV234, the internal test pattern check circuit gets enabled and reports result on ALNOUT pin. The
ALNOUT pin goes LOW whenever bit errors occur, or it stays HIGH when there is no bit error. Please refer to
Figure 11. User can select 2 kinds of check result, “Latched-result” or “NOT latched result”. The latch is reset by
setting RS=L.

“Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device can not be guaranteed.
They are not meant to imply that the device should be operated at these limits. The tables of “Electrical
Characteristics” specify conditions for device operation.

VDH must not precedes VDL, while tTLH and tRLH min. is 0sec; therefore, VDL/H can be at the same time.
tTPD and tRPD minimum is 0sec; therefore, PDN can be applied at the same time as VDL and VDH.
tTPLL0 is the time from “both PDN=High and HTPDN=Low“ moment to Training pattern ignition.
HTPDN could transit from High to Low under PDN=High condition at THCV233, which is different from what
Figure 21 indicates but is natural situation.

Note
1)LVDS input pin connection
When LVDS line is not driven from the previous device, the line is pulled up to 3.3V internally in
THCV233.This can cause violation of absolute maximum ratings to the previous LVDS Tx device whose
operating condition is lower voltage power supply than 3.3V. This phenomenon may happen at power on phase of
the whole system including THCV233. One solution for this problem is PDN[0]=L control during no LVDS input
period because pull-up resistors are cut off at power down state.

2)Power On Sequence
Do not apply VDH before VDL. VDL and VDH can be applied at the same time.
3)Data Input Sequence
Don’t input TLCLK+/- before THCV233 is on in order to keep absolute maximum ratings.
4)Cable Connection and Disconnection
Don’t connect and disconnect the LVDS cable, when the power is supplied to the system.
5)GND Connection
Connect the each GND of the PCB which Transmitter, Receiver and THCV215 on it.
It is better for EMI reduction to place GND cable as close to LVDS cable as possible.
6)Low Input Pulse into PDN[1:0] Period Requirement
Don’t Input Low Pulse within 1msec into PDN[1:0].

7)Multiple device connection
HTPDN and LOCKN signals are supposed to be connected proper for their purpose like the following figure.
HTPDN should be from just one Rx to multiple Tx because its purpose is only ignition of all Tx.
LOCKN should be connected so as to indicate that all Rx CDR become ready to receive normal operation data.
LOCKN of Tx side can be simply split to multiple Tx.
THCV234 DGLOCK connection is appropriate for multiple Rx use.
Also possible time difference of internal processing time (p.26 THCV233 tTCD and p.27 THCV234 tRDC) on
multiple data stream must be accommodated and compensated by the following destination device connected to
multiple THCV234, which may have internal FIFO.
