detailed description
fundamental operation
The TFP401/401A is a digital visual interface (DVI) compliant TMDS digital receiver that is used in digital flat
panel display systems to receive and decode TMDS encoded RGB pixel data streams. In a digital display
system a host, usually a PC or workstation, contains a TMDS compatible transmitter that receives 24 bit pixel
data along with appropriate control signals and encodes them into a high-speed low-voltage differential serial
bit stream fit for transmission over a twisted-pair cable to a display device. The display device, usually a
flat-panel monitor, will require a TMDS compatible receiver like the TI TFP401/401A to decode the serial bit
stream back to the same 24 bit pixel data and control signals that originated at the host. This decoded data can
then be applied directly to the flat panel drive circuitry to produce an image on the display. Since the host and
display can be separated by distances up to 5 meters or more, serial transmission of the pixel data is preferred.
To support modern display resolutions up to SXGA a high bandwidth receiver with good jitter and skew tolerance
is required.
TMDS pixel data and control signal encoding
TMDS stands for transition minimized differential signaling. Only one of two possible TMDS characters for a
given pixel will be transmitted at a given time. The transmitter keeps a running count of the number of ones and
zeros previously sent and transmits the character that will minimize the number of transitions and approximate
a dc balance of the transmission line.
Three TMDS channels are used to receive RGB pixel data during active display time, DE = high. The same three
channels also receive control signals, HSYNC, VSYNC, and user defined control signals CTL[3:1]. These
control signals are received during inactive display or blanking-time. Blanking-time is when DE = low. The
following table maps the received input data to appropriate TMDS input channel in a DVI compliant system.

transfers CTL[3:1] and ignores CTL0 characters. CTL0 is not available as a
TFP401/401A output.
The TFP401/401A discriminates between valid pixel TMDS characters and control TMDS characters to
determine the state of active display versus blanking, i.e., state of DE.

detailed description (continued)
TFP401/401A clocking and data synchronization
The TFP401/401A receives a clock reference from the DVI transmitter that has a period equal to the pixel time,
Tpix. The frequency of this clock is also referred to as the pixel rate. Since the TMDS encoded data on Rx[2:0]
contains 10 bits per 8 bit pixel it follows that the Rx[2:0] serial bit rate is 10 times the pixel rate. For example,
the required pixel rate to support an UXGA resolution with 60 Hz refresh rate is 165 MHz. The TMDS serial bit
rate is 10x the pixel rate or 1.65 Gb/s. Due to the transmission of this high-speed digital bit stream, on three
separate channels (or twisted-pair wires) of long distances (3-5 meters), phase synchronization between the
data steams and the input reference clock is not guaranteed. In addition, skew between the three data channels
is common. The TFP401/401A uses a 4x oversampling scheme of the input data streams to achieve reliable
synchronization with up to 1-Tpix channel-to-channel skew tolerance. Accumulated jitter on the clock and data
lines due to reflections and external noise sources is also typical of high speed serial data transmission, hence
the TFP401/401A’s design for high jitter tolerance.
The input clock to the TFP401/401A is conditioned by a phase-locked-loop (PLL) to remove high frequency jitter
from the clock. The PLL provides four 10x clock outputs of different phase to locate and sync the TMDS data
streams (4x oversampling). During active display the pixel data is encoded to be transition minimized, whereas
in blank, the control data is encoded to be transition maximized. A DVI compliant transmitter is required to
transmit in blank for a minimum period of time, 128-Tpix, to ensure sufficient time for data synchronization when
the receiver sees a transition maximized code. Synchronization during blank, when the data is transition
maximized, ensures reliable data bit boundary detection. Phase synchronization to the data streams is unique
for each of the three input channels and is maintained as long as the link remains active.
TFP401/401A TMDS input levels and input impedance matching
The TMDS inputs to the TFP401/401A receiver have a fixed single-ended termination to AVDD The
TFP401/401A is internally optimized using a laser trim process to precisely fix the impedance at 50 Ω. The
device will function normally with or without a resistor on the EXT_RES pin, so it remains drop-in compatible
with current sockets. The fixed impedance eliminates the need for an external resistor while providing optimum
impedance matching to standard 50-Ω DVI cables.
Figure 14 shows a conceptual schematic of a DVI transmitter and TFP401/401A receiver connection. A
transmitter drives the twisted pair cable via a current source, usually achieved with an open drain type output
driver. The internal resistor, which is matched to the cable impedance, at the TFP401/401A input provides a
pullup to AVDD . Naturally, when the transmitter is disconnected and the TFP401/401A DVI inputs are left
unconnected, the TFP401/401A receiver inputs pullup to AVDD. The single ended differential signal and full
differential signal is shown in Figure 15. The TFP401/401A is designed to respond to differential signal swings
ranging from 150 mV to 1.56 V with common mode voltages ranging from (AVDD-300 mV) to (AVDD-37 mV).

TFP401A incorporates HSYNC jitter immunity
Several DVI transmitters available in the market introduce jitter on the transmitted HSYNC and VSYNC signals
during the TMDS encryption process. The HSYNC signal can shift by one pixel position (one clock) from nominal
in either direction, resulting in up to two cycles of HSYNC shift. This jitter carries through to the DVI receiver,
and if the position of HSYNC shifts continuously, the receiver can lose track of the input timing and pixel noise
will occur on the display. For this reason, a DVI compliant receiver with HSYNC jitter immunity should be used
in all displays that could be connected to host PCs with transmitters that have this HSYNC jitter problem.
The TFP401A integrates HSYNC regeneration circuitry that provides a seamless interface to these
noncompliant transmitters. The position of the data enable (DE) signal is always fixed in relation to data,
irrespective of the location of HSYNC. The TFP401A receiver uses the DE and clock signals recreate stable
vertical and horizontal sync signals. The circuit filters the HSYNC output of the receiver, and HSYNC is shifted
to the nearest eighth bit boundary, producing a stable output with respect to data, as shown in Figure 16. This
will ensure accurate data synchronization at the input of the display timing controller.

TFP401A incorporates HSYNC jitter immunity (continued)
This HSYNC regeneration circuit is transparent to the monitor and need not be removed even if the transmitted
HSYNC is stable. For example, the PanelBus line of DVI 1.0 compliant transmitters, such as the TFP6422 and
TFP420, do not have the HSYNC jitter problem. The TFP401A will operate correctly with either compliant or
noncompliant transmitters. In contrast, the TFP401 is ideal for customers who have control over the transmit
portion of the design such as bundled system manufacturers and for internal monitor use (the DVI connection
between monitor and panel modules).

TFP401/401A output driver configurations
The TFP401/401A provides flexibility by offering various output driver features that can be used to optimize
power consumption, ground-bounce and power-supply noise. The following sections outline the output driver
features and their effects.
Output driver power down (PDO = low), Pulling PDO low will place all the output drivers, except CTL1 and
SCDT, into a high-impedance state. The SCDT output which indicates link-disabled or link-inactive can be tied
directly to the PDO input to disable the output drivers when the link is inactive or when the cable is disconnected.
An internal pullup on the PDO pin will default the TFP401/401A to the normal nonpower down output drive mode
if left unconnected.

TFP401/401A output driver configurations (continued)
Drive Strength (ST = high for high drive strength, ST=low for low drive strength.) The TFP401/401A allows
for selectable output drive strength on the data, control and ODCK outputs. See the dc specifications table for
the values of IOH and IOL current drives for a given ST state. The high output strength offers approximately two
times the drive as the low output drive strength.
Time Staggered Pixel Output. This option works only in conjunction with the 2-pixel/clock mode (PIXS = high).
Setting STAG = low will time stagger the even and odd pixel output so as to reduce the amount of instantaneous
current surge from the power supply. Depending on the PCB layout and design this can help reduce the amount
of system ground bounce and power supply noise. The time stagger is such that in 2-pixel/clock mode the even
pixel is delayed from the latching edge of ODCK by 0.25 Tcip. (Tcip is the period of ODCK. The ODCK period
is 2Tpix when in 2-pixel/clock mode.)
Depending on system constraints of output load, pixel rate, panel input architecture and board cost the
TFP401/401A drive strength and staggered pixel options allow flexibility to reduce system power-supply noise,
ground bounce and EMI.
Power Management. The TFP401/401A offers several system power management features.
The output driver power down (PDO = low) is an intermediate mode which offers several uses. During this mode,
all output drivers except SCDT and CTL1 are driven to a high impedance state while the rest of the device
circuitry remains active
The TFP401/401A power down (PD = low) is a complete power down in that it powers down the digital core,
the analog circuitry, and output drivers. All output drivers are placed into a Hi-Z state. All inputs are disabled
except for the PD input. The TFP401/401A will not respond to any digital or analog inputs until PD is pulled high.
Both PDO and PD have internal pullups so if left unconnected they will default the TFP401/401A to normal
operating modes.
Sync Detect. The TFP401/401A offers an output, SCDT to indicate link activity. The TFP401/401A monitors
activity on DE to determine if the link is active. When 1 million (1e6) pixel clock periods pass without a transition
on DE, the TFP401/401A considers the link inactive and SCDT is driven low. While SCDT is low, if two DE
transitions are detected within 1600 pixel clock periods, the link will be considered active and SCDT is pulled
high.
SCDT can be used to signal a system power management circuit to initiate a system power down when the link
is considered inactive. The SCDT can also be tied directly to the TFP401/401A PDO input to power down the
output drivers when the link is inactive. It is not recommended to use the SCDT to drive the PD input since, once
in complete power-down, the analog inputs are ignored and the SCDT state will not change. An external system
power management circuit to drive PD is preferred.

The TFP401/401A is packaged in TI’s thermally enhanced PowerPAD 100TQFP packaging. The PowerPAD
package is a 14 mm × 14 mm × 1 mm TQFP outline with 0.5 mm lead-pitch. The PowerPAD package has a
specially designed die mount pad that offers improved thermal capability over typical TQFP packages of the
same outline. The TI 100-TQFP PowerPAD package offers a back-side solder plane that connects directly
to the die mount pad for enhanced thermal conduction. Soldering the back side of the TFP401/401A to the
application board is not required thermally as the device power dissipation is well within the package capability
when not soldered.
Soldering the back side of the device to the PCB ground plane is recommended for electrical considerations.
Since the die pad is electrically connected to the chip substrate and hence chip ground, connection of the
PowerPAD back side to a PCB ground plane will help to improve EMI, ground bounce, and power supply noise
performance.
