TMDS Regenerator
Features
The ISL54105 is a high-performance TMDS timing
regenerator containing a programmable equalizer and a
clock data recovery (CDR) function for each of the 3 TMDS
pairs in an HDMI or DVI signal. The TMDS data outputs of
the ISL54105 are regenerated and perfectly aligned to the
regenerated TMDS clock signal, creating an extremely
clean, low-jitter DVI/HDMI signal that can be easily
decoded by any TMDS receiver.
• Clock Data Recovery and Retiming
• Programmable pre-emphasis on output driver
• Programmable internal 50Ω, 100Ω, or high-Z termination
• Stand-alone or I2C software-controlled operation
• 72 lead, 10mm x 10mm QFN package
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
Applications
The ISL54105 can be used as a cable extender, to clean up
a noisy/jittery TMDS source, or to provide a very stable
TMDS signal to a finicky DVI or HDMI receiver.
• DVI/HDMI extenders
• Televisions/PC monitors/projectors

SCL
Digital input, 5V tolerant, 500mV hysteresis. Serial data clock for 2-wire interface.
Note: Internal 65kΩ pull-up to VD.
SDA
Bidirectional Digital I/O, open drain, 5V tolerant. Serial data I/O for 2-wire interface.
Note: Internal 65kΩ pull-up to VD.
ADDR[6:0]
Digital inputs, 5V tolerant. 7-Bit address for serial interface.
Note: Internal 60kΩ pull-down to GND.
AD
Digital Output, 3.3V. AD = Activity Detect. Output goes high when an active TMDS clock is detected on
RXC.
RES_BIAS
Tie to GND through a 3.16k external resistor. Sets up internal bias currents.
RES_TERM
Tie to VD through a 1.0k 1% external resistor. During calibration, the termination resistor closest in value
to RES_TERM/20 (= 50Ω) is selected.
PD
Digital Input, 3.3V. PD = Power-down. Pull high to put the ISL54105 in a minimum power consumption
mode.
Note: To ensure proper operation, this pin must be held low during power-up. It may be taken high 100ms
after the power supplies have settled to 3.3V ±10%.
When exiting Power-down, a termination resistor Recalibration cycle must be run to re-trim the
termination resistors (see register 0x03[7]).
Note: Internal 60kΩ pull-down to GND.
RESET
Digital Input, 3.3V. Pull high then low to reset the mux. Tie to GND in final application.
Note: Internal 60kΩ pull-down to GND.
TEST
Digital Input. Used for production testing only. Tie to GND in final application. This pin has an internal
pulldown to GND, so it is also acceptable to leave this pin floating.
VD
Power supply. Connect to a 3.3V supply and bypass each pin to GND with 0.1µF.
VD_ESD
Power supply for ESD protection diodes. Connect one of these pins (pin 41 or 53) to the 3.3V VD supply
rail with a low VF (0.4V or lower) Schottky diode, with the cathode connected to VD_ESD and the anode
connected to VD. Bypass each pin to GND with 0.1µF.
THERMAL PAD (GND)
Ground return for the entire chip. The thermal pad must have a low impedance connection to GND for
the ISL54105 to function at all. The lower electrical impedance, the better the ground, and the better the
performance. A low thermal impedance between the thermal pad and the GND plane of the PCB will
dissipate the heat from the package more efficiently as well and is recommended.

FUNCTION NAME
DESCRIPTION
FN6723.0
June 11, 2008
ISL54105
Application Information
PLL Bandwidth
The ISL54105 is a TMDS regenerator, locking to the incoming
DVI or HDMI signal with triple Clock Data Recovery units
(CDRs) and a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). The PLL generates a
low jitter pixel clock from the incoming TMDS clock. The TMDS
data signals are equalized, sliced by the CDR, re-aligned to the
PLL clock, and sent out the TMDS outputs.
The 2-bit PLL Bandwidth register controls the loop
bandwidth of the PLL used to recover the incoming clock
signal. The default 4MHz setting works well in most
applications, however a lower bandwidth of 1MHz has
proven to work just as well with good TMDS sources and
slightly better with marginal sources.
Activity Detection
Power-down
The TMDS input is considered active using one of two
methods. The original default activity detect method (register
0x03b4 = 1) is to measure the common mode of the TMDS
clock input for each channel. If the common mode is 3.3V, it
indicates that there is nothing connected to that input, or that
whatever is connected is turned off (inactive). This has been
found to be relatively unreliable, particularly with weak signals.
The chip can be placed in a Power-down mode when not in
use to conserve power. Setting the Power-down bit (register
0x02 bit 5) to a 1 or pulling the PD input pin high places the
chip in a minimal power consumption mode, turning off all
TMDS outputs and disconnecting all TMDS inputs. Serial I/O
stays operational in PD mode. Note that the PD pin must be
low during power-on in order to initialize the I2C interface.
The preferred method of activity detection is looking for an
active AC signal on the TMDS clock input for that channel
(register 0x03b4 = 1). This is more robust, however
disconnected inputs will cause both inputs to the differential
receiver to be the same level - 3.3V. If the offset error of the
differential TMDS receiver is very small, the receiver can not
resolve a 1 or a 0 and will randomly switch between states,
which may be detected as an active clock. Register 0x03 bits
5 and 6 allow a 10mV or 20mV offset to be added to the input
stage of the clock inputs, eliminating this problem. This offset
will slightly reduce the sensitivity of TMDS receiver for the
clock lines, but since the clock signals are much lower
frequency than the data, they will not be nearly as
attenuated, so this is not a problem in practice.
Note: When exiting Power-down, a termination resistor
Recalibration cycle must be run to re-trim the termination
resistors (see register 0x03[7]).
Again, using the AC activity detection method (register
0x03b4 = 0) is recommended.
Rx Equalization
Register 0x08 bits 3:0 control the amount of equalization
applied to the TMDS inputs, providing 4 bits of control. The
equalization range available is from a minimum of 1dB boost
to a maximum of 13dB at 800MHz, in 0.8dB increments.
Ideally, the equalization is adjusted in the final application to
provide optimal performance with the specific DVI/HDMI
transmitter and cable used. In general, the amount of
equalization required is proportional to the cable length. If
the equalization must be fixed (can not be adjusted in the
final application), an equalization setting of 0xA works well
with short cables as well as medium to longer cables.
Typical Performance
Setup A (Figure 2) was used to capture the TMDS eye
diagrams shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4:

The 162.5Mpixel/s (UXGA 60Hz) DVI output of the Chroma
2326 was terminated into a TPA2 Plug adapter and
measured with a LeCroy differential probe and 6MHz SDA
using the LeCroy’s software clock recovery. As Figure 3
shows, the amplitude of the TMDS signal is slightly low, but
the eye is otherwise acceptable.
Tx Pre-emphasis
The transmit pre-emphasis function sinks additional current
during the first bit after every transition, increasing the slew
rate for a given capacitance, and helping to maintain the
slew rate when using longer/higher capacitance cables.
Pre-emphasis is controlled by register 0x06 bits 7:4, and
ranges from a minimum of 0mA (no pre-emphasis) to
1.875mA (max pre-emphasis).

Next, a 15m DualLink DVI cable was attached and
terminated into a female TPA2 adapter and the eye captured
in Figure 4.
FIGURE 6. EYE DIAGRAM AT OUTPUT OF ISL54105
FIGURE 4. CHROMA EYE DIAGRAM AFTER 15m CABLE
The eye is not meeting the minimum requirements of either
the HDMI or DVI standards and the Dell Monitor is unable to
recover the data and display an image.
The cleaner signal generated at the output of the ISL54105

Given the input signal shown in Figure 4, the ISL54105’s
TMDS output signal (Figure 6) is extremely clean. The
output is an improvement over the original signal coming
from the pattern generator in both amplitude and jitter.

Tx Loading Considerations
When the ISL54105 is powered-up and its Tx outputs are
disabled, via either the PD (power-down) pin, the
power-down register bit (register 0x02[5]), or the tri-state
outputs bits (register 0x05[1:0]), the Tx pins are high
impedance. In this state, they will draw no current from the
Rx pins of any TMDS receiver they may be connected to.
However, if power to the ISL54105 is removed, the Tx pins
are no longer high-impedance. Figure 8 shows the relevant
equivalent circuit, including the internal ESD protection
diodes. For simplicity, only one of the eight Tx outputs, ESD
protection diodes, and Rx termination resistors are shown.
When VD to the ISL54105 drops below ~2.7V and power is
applied to the external TMDS receiver, ESD protection
diodes inside the ISL54105 can become forward-biased,

This is non-ideal and can cause the ISL54105 to fail HDMI
Compliance Test 7-3 (“VOFF”). VOFF is the voltage across
each 50Ω RxN resistor when the power is removed from the
device containing the ISL54105.
Modifying the PCB layout per Figure 9 to add a Schottky
diode between the VD power net and the VD_ESD pins,
eliminates current flow from the ESD bus into VD. This
reduces the amount of current drawn from the Tx supply, but
there is still some circuitry attached to the internal ESD bus
that will sink some current. So the current drawn from Rx will
be lower than if the diode were not there (reducing the VOFF
magnitude), but still not low enough to pass Test 7-3.

The read pointers for Channel 0, 1, and 2 of the FIFO that
follows the CDR all have the same clock, so all 3 channels
transition within a few picoseconds of each other - there is
essentially no skew between the transitions of the three
channels.
However the FIFO read pointers may be positioned up to 2
bits apart relative to each other, introducing a random, fixed
channel-to-channel skew of skew of 1 or (much less
frequently) 2 bits. The random skew is introduced whenever
there is a discontinuity in the input signal (typically a video
mode change or a new mux channel selection). After the
CDRs and PLL lock, the skew is fixed until the next
discontinuity. This adds up to 2 bits of skew in addition to any
incoming skew, as shown in the following examples.
Figure 10 shows an input (the top three signals) with
essentially no skew. After the ISL54105 locks on to the
signal, there may be 1 bit of skew on the output, as shown in
Figure 10.

SKEW
While increasing skew is not desirable, DVI and HDMI
receivers are required to have a minimum of 6 bits of
inter-pair skew tolerance, so the addition of 2 bits of skew is
only a problem with the most pathological cables and
transmitters. It does, however, limit the number of ISL54105s
that can be put in series (although statistically, it is unlikely
that all the skews would line up in a worst-case
configuration).
(such as vias and circuitous paths) can be taken when
routing the clock lines.
• Minimize capacitance on all TMDS lines. The lower the
capacitance, the sharper the rise and fall times.
• Maintain a constant, solid ground (or power) plane under
the 3 high speed TMDS signals. Do not route the signals
over gaps in the ground plane or over other traces.
• Ideally each supply should be bypassed to ground with a
0.1µF capacitor. Minimize trace length and vias to
minimize inductance and maximize noise rejection.
Figure 12 demonstrates a common but non-ideal PCB
layout and its equivalent circuit. The additional trace
resistance between the bypass capacitor and the power
supply/IC reduces its effectiveness. Figure 13
demonstrates a better layout. In this case there is still
series trace resistance (it is impossible to completely
eliminate it), but now it is being put to good use, as part of
a “T” filter, attenuating supply noise before it gets to the IC,
and reducing the amount of IC-generated noise that gets
injected into the supply. Follow the good supply bypassing
rules shown in Figure 13 to the extent possible.

PCB Layout Recommendations
Because of the high speed of the TMDS signals, careful
PCB layout is critical to maximize performance. The
following guidelines should be adhered to as closely as
possible:
• All TMDS pair traces should have a characteristic
impedance of 50Ω with respect to the power/ground
planes and 100Ω with respect to each other. Failure to
meet this requirement will increase reflections, shrinking
the available eye.
• Avoid vias for all 3 high speed TMDS pairs. Vias add
inductance which causes a discontinuity in the
characteristic impedance of the trace. Keep all the traces
on the top (or the bottom) of the PCB. The TMDS clock
can have vias if necessary, since it is lower speed and less
critical. If you must use a via, ensure the vias are
symmetrical (put identical vias in both lines of the
differential pair).

FIGURE 12. SUB-OPTIMAL BYPASS CAPACITOR LAYOUT
• For each TMDS channel, the trace lengths of the 3 TMDS
pairs (0, 1 and 2) should ideally be the same to reduce
inter channel skew introduced by the board.
• The trace length of the clock pair is not critical at all.
Since the clock is only used as a frequency reference, its
phase/delay is inconsequential. In addition, since the
TMDS clock frequency is 1/10th the pixel rate, the clock
signal itself is much more noise-immune. So liberties

ISL54105
The ISL54105 has a 7-bit address on the serial bus,
determined by the ADDR0-ADDR6 bits. This allows up to
128 ISL54105s to be independently controlled by the same
serial bus.

The bus is nominally inactive, with SDA and SCL high.
Communication begins when the host issues a START
command by taking SDA low while SCL is high (Figure 14).
The ISL54105 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines
for the start condition and will not respond to any command
until this condition has been met. The host then transmits the
7-bit serial address plus a R/W bit, indicating if the next
transaction will be a Read (R/W = 1) or a Write (R/W = 0). If
the address transmitted matches that of any device on the
bus, that device must respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE
(Figure 15).

ISL54105 Serial Communication
Overview
The ISL54105 uses a 2-wire serial bus for communication
with its host. SCL is the Serial Clock line, driven by the host
and SDA is the Serial Data line, which can be driven by all
devices on the bus. SDA is open drain to allow multiple
devices to share the same bus simultaneously.
Communication is accomplished in three steps:
1. The Host selects the ISL54105 it wishes to communicate
with.
2. The Host writes the initial ISL54105 Configuration
Register address it wishes to write to or read from.
3. The Host writes to or reads from the ISL54105’s
Configuration Register. The ISL54105’s internal address
pointer auto increments, so to read registers 0x00
through 0x1B, for example, one would write 0x00 in step
2, then repeat step three 28 times, with each read
returning the next register value.
Once the serial address has been transmitted and
acknowledged, one or more bytes of information can be
written to or read from the slave. Communication with the
selected device in the selected direction (read or write) is
ended by a STOP command, where SDA rises while SCL is
high (Figure 14), or a second START command, which is
commonly used to reverse data direction without
relinquishing the bus.
Data on the serial bus must be valid for the entire time SCL
is high (Figure 16). To achieve this, data being written to the
ISL54105 is latched on a delayed version of the rising edge
of SCL. SCL is delayed and deglitched inside the ISL54105
for three crystal clock periods (120ns for a 25MHz crystal) to
eliminate spurious clock pulses that could disrupt serial
communication.
When the contents of the ISL54105 are being read, the SDA
line is updated after the falling edge of SCL, delayed and
deglitched in the same manner.
