SiI 161A PanelLink® Receiver
Datasheet
March 2001
Features
The SiI 161A receiver uses PanelLink Digital technology to support high
resolution displays up to UXGA. The SiI 161A receiver supports up to true
color panels (24 bit/pixel, 16.7M colors) in 1 or 2 pixels/clock mode. In
addition, the receiver data output is time staggered to reduce ground bounce
that affects EMI. Since all PanelLink products are designed on scaleable
CMOS architecture to support future performance requirements while
maintaining the same logical interface, system designers can be assured that
the interface will be fixed through a number of technology and performance
generations.
PanelLink Digital technology simplifies PC and display interface design
by resolving many of the system level issues associated with high-speed
mixed signal design, providing the system designer with a digital interface
solution that is quicker to market and lower in cost.

Measured when transmitter was powered down (see SiI/AN-0005 “PanelLink Basic Design/Application Guide,” Section 2.4).
Setup and Hold Timings for data rates other than 165 MHz:
The measurements shown above are minimum setup and hold timings based on the maximum data rate of 165 MHz.
To estimate the setup and hold times for slower data rates (for either different resolutions or 2 pixel per clock mode),
the following formula can be used:
Time (at new frequency) = Time (165 MHz) + (Clock Period at new frequency – Clock Period at 165 MHz)/2
For the case of high strength output (ST=1) with a 10 pf load, and using the standard ODCK (ODCK_INV = 0), the
table below shows the minimum set up and hold times for other speeds as follows:

Description
Output Even Data[23:0] corresponds to 24-bit pixel data for 1-pixel/clock input mode
and to the first 24-bit pixel data for 2-pixels/clock mode.
Output data is synchronized with output data clock (ODCK).
Refer to the TFT Signal Mapping application note (SiI/AN-0007) which tabulates the
relationship between the input data to the transmitter and output data from the
receiver.
A low level on PD or PDO will put the output drivers into a high impedance (tri-state)
mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings each output to ground.
Output Odd Data[23:0] corresponds to the second 24-bit pixel data for 2-pixels/clock
mode.
During 1-pixel/clock mode, these outputs are driven low.
Output data is synchronized with output data clock (ODCK).
Refer to the TFT Signal Mapping application note (SiI/AN-0007) which tabulates the
relationship between the input data to the transmitter and output data from the
receiver.
A low level on PD or PDO will put the output drivers into a high impedance (tri-state)
mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings each output to ground.
Output Data Clock. This output can be inverted using the OCK_INV pin. A low level on
PD or PDO will put the output driver into a high impedance (tri-state) mode. A weak
internal pull-down device brings the output to ground.
Output Data Enable. This signal qualifies the active data area. A HIGH level signifies
active display time and a LOW level signifies blanking time. This output signal is
synchronized with the output data. A low level on PD or PDO will put the output driver
into a high impedance (tri-state) mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings the
output to ground. In Dual Link Applications, the DE output pin of the Master is
connected to the SYNC input pin of the Slave.
Horizontal Sync input control signal.
Vertical Sync input control signal.
General output control signal 1. This output is not powered down by PDO.
General output control signal 2.
General output control signal 3.
A low level on PD or PDO will put the output drivers (except CTL1 by PDO) into a high
impedance (tri-state) mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings each output to
ground.

ODCK Polarity. A LOW level selects normal ODCK output. A HIGH level selects
inverted ODCK output. All other output signals are not affected by this pin. They will
maintain the same timing no matter the setting of OCK_INV pin (See Fig. 8 on p.10).
NOTE OCK_INV cannot be set HIGH (inverted) when operating in Dual Link Mode
PIXS/M_S

In
Pixel Select. A LOW level indicates one pixel (up to 24-bits) per clock mode using
QE[23:0]. A HIGH level indicates two pixels (up to 48-bits) per clock mode using
QE[23:0] for first pixel and QO[23:0] for second pixel.
Master/Slave. When S_D pin is HIGH (Dual Link), this pin becomes M_S. When
HIGH, it is in Master mode. When LOW, it is in Slave mode. The Master receiver is in
one/two-pixels per clock mode depending upon Dual/Single (S_D) Link operation. The
Slave receiver is always in one-pixel per clock mode.

Staggered Output. A HIGH level selects normal simultaneous outputs on all odd and
even data lines. A LOW level selects staggered output drive. This function is only
available in 2-pixels per clock mode.
Synchronization. When S_D pin is HIGH (Dual Link), this pin is used to synchronize
the Slave receiver to the Master receiver. The SYNC input pin of the Slave receiver is
connected to the DE output pin of the Master receiver.
Output Drive. A HIGH level selects HIGH output drive strength. A LOW level selects
LOW output drive strength.
Single/Dual Link Mode. When HIGH, it is in Dual Link Mode. When LOW it is in Single
Link Mode. The Slave receiver is always in Dual Link mode. The Master receiver
switches between Single and Dual Link mode depending upon the SCDT output of the
Slave receiver that is connected to the S_D input of the Master receiver.

Out Sync Detect. A HIGH level is outputted when DE is actively toggling indicating that the
link is alive. A LOW level is outputted when DE is inactive, indicating the link is down.
Can be connected to PDO to power down the outputs when DE is not detected. The
SCDT output itself, however, remains in the active mode at all times.
In Dual Link applications the SCDT pin of the Slave receiver is connected to the S_D pin
of the Master receiver.
PDO

In
Output Driver Power Down (active LOW). A HIGH level indicates normal operation. A
LOW level puts all the output drivers only (except SCDT and CTL1) into a high impedance
(tri-state) mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings each output to ground. PDO is a
sub-set of the PD description. The chip is not in power-down mode with this pin. SCDT
and CTL1 are not tri-stated by this pin.
PD

In
Power Down (active LOW). A HIGH level indicates normal operation. A LOW level
indicates power down mode. During power down mode, all the output drivers are put into
a high impedance (tri-state) mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings each output to
ground. Additionally, all analog logic is powered down, and all inputs are disabled.

Note: For 18-bit mode, the Flat Panel Timing Controller interfaces to the SiI 161A exactly the same as in the 24-bit
mode; however, only 6-bits per channel (color) are interfaced instead of the full 8. As can be seen from the above
table, the data mapping for less than 24-bit per pixel interfaces are MSB justified.

Dual Link Mode Operation
SiI161A operates up to the full DVI Single Link bandwidth of 165MHz. In Dual Link applications, two SiI161A chips
can be used to support pixel clock speeds up to 330MHz. These applications will only support panels with 48-bit, 2pixel per clock interfaces. See Figure 9 for connection details.
In Single Link mode, the transmitter system does not send any Data over the second link connected to the Slave
receiver. Therefore, the Slave receiver is not active and its outputs are tri-stated. All the Data, both EVEN and ODD
pixels, are sent over the link connected to the Master receiver. Therefore all the Data, both EVEN and ODD pixels,
for the panel is output by the Master receiver, which operates in 48-bit, 2-pixels per clock interface mode.
In Dual Link mode, the transmitter system sends EVEN Data over the link connected to the Master receiver and the
ODD Data over the link connected to the Slave receiver. Therefore, the EVEN Data for the panel is output by the
Master receiver and the ODD Data is output by the Slave receiver. The Master receiver’s ODD Data bus is tri-stated
to allow the Slave receiver’s EVEN Data bus to output the ODD Data for the panel.

Configuration:
Master –
The Master receiver will automatically configure to either Single or Dual Link operation (two or one pixel per
clock mode, respectively) depending on the transmitter system output. This is accomplished by connecting the
SCDT output pin of the Slave to the S_D pin on the Master. When the transmitter sends data on the second
link, the SCDT output of the slave (and the S_D pin on the Master) becomes high, setting to Dual Link (one-pixel
per clock) mode. If there is no data on the second link, the SCDT output of the Slave (and the S_D pin on the
Master) becomes LOW, and the Master receiver is in Single Link (two-pixels per clock) mode.

SiI-DS-0009-D
The Master receiver is configured by tieing the M_S pin to HIGH. When it is in Dual Link mode, the Master
receiver is in one-pixel per clock mode outputting the EVEN data for the panel. The Master receiver’s ODD data
bus is tri-stated to allow the Slave receiver’s EVEN data bus to be used as the ODD data bus for the panel.
When it is in Single Link mode, the Master receiver is in two-pixels per clock mode outputting both the EVEN
and ODD data for the panel. The Slave receiver’s EVEN data bus is tri-stated to allow the Master receiver’s ODD
data bus to be used as the ODD data for the panel.
The DE output pin of the Master receiver is connected to the SYNC input pin of the Slave receiver. This is used
for output synchronization between the Master receiver and Slave receiver. DE, HSYNC, VSYNC, and ODCK for
the panel are all taken from the Master receiver.
Slave –
The Slave receiver is always configured for Dual Link (one pixel/clock) operation. This is accomplished by tieing
the S_D pin to HIGH. The Slave receiver is never used in Single Link mode since the Master receiver is the
primary receiver for Single Link Operation.
The Slave receiver is configured by tieing the M_S pin to LOW. The Slave receiver will always contain the ODD
data bus for the panel in Dual Link operation. Therefore, it will never be in two-pixels per clock mode.
The SCDT output pin of the Slave receiver is connected to the S_D input pin of the Master receiver to
automatically configure the Master for either Single or Dual Link mode depending upon whether the Slave
receiver is active or not.
The SYNC input pin of the Slave receiver is connected to the DE output pin of the Master receiver for
synchronization.
Since DE, HSYNC, VSYNC, and ODCK for the panel are all taken from the Master receiver, these pins are not
connected from the Slave receiver.
Power Down Outputs –
The Slave receiver’s outputs are automatically tri-stated in Single Link mode, since it is not active. The Master
receiver’s outputs are automatically tri-stated in Single or Dual Link mode when there are no sync signals
coming from the transmitter. Both the Master and Slave receiver’s outputs can also be tri-stated by driving the
PDO pins to LOW manually.

Link Receiver Implementation) and SiI-AN-0037 (SiI168 Transmitter Dual Link Applications).

PCB Thermal Design Options:
The SiI161A is packaged in a thermally enhanced 100 pin TQFP with an exposed metal pad (7.5mm x 7.5 mm) on
the package designed for improved thermal dissipation. To improve the heat removal from the package, the exposed
thermal pad may be soldered to a thermal landing area on the PCB, as described in the following section, entitled
“Implementation Guidelines for Thermal Land Design”.
Implementation of the thermal landing area on the PCB can, in some cases, make trace routing and board design
complicated. In some applications, it may be desirable to eliminate the thermal landing area on the PCB.
Generally the thermal performance of a package can be represented by the following parameter (JEDEC standard
JESD 51-2, 51-6):
θJA , Thermal resistance from junction to ambient
θJA = (TJ - TA) / PH
Where TJ is the junction temperature
TA is the ambient temperature
PH is the power dissipation
θJA represents the resistance to the heat flows from the chip to ambient air. It is an index of heat dissipation
capability. Lower θJA means better thermal performance.
Implementation of the thermal landing area, combined with complete soldering of the package to the landing area
results in a θJA of 21°C/W. If the SiI161A package is assembled to a standard PCB, without the thermal landing
area, the θJA increases to 29°C/W. For comparison, the non-thermally enhanced 100 pin TQFP package has a θJA of
53°C/W, so the advantage of the exposed metal pad in the thermally enhanced SiI161A package is significant, even
without a landing area on the PCB.
In order to determine the requirements for soldering the SiI161A to the PCB, the following analysis is insightful.
Assuming a worst case scenario, with operation at the maximum ambient temperature of 70°C, at maximum voltage
(3.6V) and worst case pattern (330 mA) – the junction temperature would be 35°C above ambient, or 105°C. This is
still well below the maximum junction temperature of 125°C, providing suitable margin even without requiring the use
of solder and a specific landing area on the PCB. For comparison, with the improved thermal dissipation that results
from complete soldering of the thermal pad on the chip to a thermal landing area on the PCB, the package
temperature would be 23°C above ambient – or roughly 12°C cooler than a chip with no solder.
Based on this analysis, the need for designing a thermal landing area on a PCB for use with the SiI161A receiver
should be considered an optional design choice by the customer, and is not an absolute requirement.

Thermal Packaging Options for SiI-161A.

Implementation Guidelines for Thermal Land Design:
As described above, a thermal land on the PCB may be incorporated on the PCB to improve the heat removal from
the package. An example of this is shown in Figure 11, which depicts the exposed heat pad and Figure 12, which
shows a TQFP Thermal Land Design on a PCB. The size of this thermal land can be smaller or larger than the
exposed pad on the package. A clearance of at least 0.25 mm should be designed on the PCB between the outer
edges of the thermal land and the inner edges of pad pattern for the leads to avoid any shorts.

SiI-DS-0009-D
When a thermal land on the PCB is used to provide a means of improved heat transfer from the package to the board
through a solder joint, thermal vias are required to remove the heat from the PCB. It is recommended that these vias
connect to the ground plane of the PCB. These vias provide a heat transfer path from the top surface of the PCB to
the inner layers and the bottom surface of the package. An array of vias should be incorporated in the thermal pad at
1.2 mm pitch grid, as shown in Figure 13. Thermal Pad Via Grid. It is also recommended that the via diameter
should be around 12 to 13 mils (0.30 to 0.33 mm) and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz copper to plug the
via. This is desirable to avoid any solder wicking inside the via during the soldering process which may result in
voids in solder between the exposed pad and the thermal land. If the copper plating does not plug the vias, the
thermal vias can be “tented” with solder mask on the top surface of the PCB to avoid solder wicking inside the via
during assembly. The solder mask diameter should be at least 4 mils (0.1 mm) larger than the via diameter.

Board Mounting Guidelines
The following are general recommendations for mounting exposed pad leadframe devices on the motherboard. This
should serve as the starting point in assembly process development and it is recommended that the process should
be developed based on past experience in mounting standard, non-thermally enhanced packages.

Stencil Design:
For improved heat transfer, the exposed pad on the package may be soldered to a thermal land on the PCB. This
requires solder paste application not only on the pad pattern for lead attachment but also on the thermal land using
the stencil. While for standard (non-thermally enhanced) leadframe based packages the stencil thickness depends
on the lead pitch and package coplanarity only, the package standoff also needs to be considered for the thermally
enhanced packages to determine the stencil thickness. For a nominal standoff of 0.1 mm, the stencil thickness of 5
to 8 mils (depending upon the pitch) should still provide good solder joint between the exposed pad and the thermal
land. The aperture openings should be the same as the solder mask opening on the thermal land. Since a large
stencil opening may result in poor release, the aperture opening can be subdivided into an array of smaller openings,
similar to the thermal land pattern shown in Figure 14. Recommended Stencil Design. The above guidelines will
result in the solder joint area to be about 80 to 90% of the exposed pad area.
