SLDS160 – MARCH 2009 FUNDAMENTAL OPERATION The TFP401A 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 TFP401A 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. RECEIVED PIXEL DATA ACTIVE DISPLAY DE = HIGH INPUT CHANNEL OUTPUT PINS (VALID FOR DE = HIGH) Red[7:0] Channel - 2 (Rx2 +) QE[23:16] QO[23:16] Green[7:0] Channel - 1 (Rx1 +) QE[15:8] QO[15:8] Blue[7:0] Channel - 0 (Rx0 +) QE[7:0] QO[7:0] RECEIVED CONTROL DATA BLANKING DE = LOW INPUT CHANNEL UTPUT PINS (VALID FOR DE = LOW) CTL[3:2] Channel - 2 (Rx2 +) CTL[3:2] CTL[1: 0] (1) HSYNC, VSYNC (1) Channel - 1 (Rx1 +) CTL1 Channel - 0 (Rx0 +) HSYNC, VSYNC Some TMDS transmitters transmit a CTL0 signal. The TFP401A decodes and transfers CTL[3:1] and ignores CTL0 characters. CTL0 is not available as a TFP401A output. The TFP401A discriminates between valid pixel TMDS characters and control TMDS characters to determine the state of active display versus blanking, i.e., state of DE.

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 specified. In addition, skew between the three data channels is common. The TFP401A 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 TFP401A's design for high jitter tolerance. The input clock to the TFP401A 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 specify sufficient time for data synchronization when the receiver sees a transition maximized code. Synchronization during blank, when the data is transition maximized, specifies 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. TFP401A TMDS INPUT LEVELS AND INPUT IMPEDANCE MATCHING The TMDS inputs to the TFP401A receiver have a fixed single-ended termination to AVDD The TFP401A is internally optimized using a laser trim process to precisely fix the impedance at 50 W. The device functions 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-W DVI cables. Figure 14 shows a conceptual schematic of a DVI transmitter and TFP401A 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 TFP401A input provides a pullup to AVDD . Naturally, when the transmitter is disconnected and the TFP401A DVI inputs are left unconnected, the TFP401A receiver inputs pullup to AVDD. The single ended differential signal and full differential signal is shown in Figure 15. The TFP401A 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). 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TFP401A-EP TFP401A-EP www.ti.com ..................................................................................................................................................................................................

TMDS Inputs 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.

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).

HSYNC Regeneration Timing Diagram TFP401A MODES OF OPERATION The TFP401A provides systems design flexibility and value by providing the system designer with configurable options or modes of operation to support varying system architectures.

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 TFP401A to the normal nonpower down output drive mode if left unconnected. Drive Strength (ST = high for high drive strength, ST=low for low drive strength.) The TFP401A 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. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TFP401A-EP TFP401A-EP www.ti.com .................................................................................................................................................................................................. SLDS160 – MARCH 2009 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 TFP401A drive strength and staggered pixel options allow flexibility to reduce system power-supply noise, ground bounce and EMI. Power Management. The TFP401A 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 TFP401A 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 TFP401A 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 default the TFP401A to normal operating modes. Sync Detect. The TFP401A offers an output, SCDT, to indicate link activity. The TFP401A monitors activity on DE to determine if the link is active. When 2^18 clocks produced by an on-chip free running oscillator whose frequency is around 10-15 MHz pass without a transition on DE, the TFP401A considers the link inactive and SCDT is driven low. Hence SCDT goes low after the terminal count of the counter is reached that is 17~26 ms. When SCDT is low, if 8 DE edges are detected within the terminal count of 2^18 clocks, the link is considered active and SCDT goes 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 TFP401A 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 does not change. An external system power management circuit to drive PD is preferred. SYNC DETECT OPERATION Some graphics card when in sleep/standby mode send characters that can make the DE toggle and make SCDT high, hence in such applications, to robustly determine if the link is in active or inactive mode, it is recommended that a sync signal like HSYNC can be used in addition to the SCDT. Timing format on the recovered HSYNC signal can be used in addition to SCDT to determine if the link is receiving a valid video format. In applications where PD is being pulsed (to save power while in sleep/standby mode) when the link is inactive, and SCDT is used solely to determine the link activity, then in such cases SCDT should not be used until 25 ms of signal and power application. There is a rare possibility that SCDT can get stuck high on power up or removal of the DVI signal. For example: If the power on a DVI distribution box sourcing the signal to the receiver is cycled rapidly (2-3 times/second), then there is a small possibility, (1 in ~40-50 times) of cycling power that SCDT may be stuck high when the box is powered off. TI POWERPAD™ 100-TQFP PACKAGE The TFP401A is packaged in TI's thermally enhanced PowerPAD™ 100TQFP packaging. The PowerPAD™ package is a 14 mm y 14 mm y 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 TFP401A to the application board is not required thermally as the device power dissipation is well within the package capability when not soldered. If traces or vias are located under the back side pad, they should be protected by suitable solder mask or other assembly technique to prevent inadvertent shorting to the exposed back side pad.

The thermal land may be soldered to the exposed PowerPAD™ using standard reflow soldering techniques. The recommended pad size for the grounded thermal land is 5.6mm sq. minimum, centered in the device land pattern. When vias are required to ground the land, multiple vias are recommended for a low impedance connection to the ground plane. Vias in the exposed pad should be small enough or filled to prevent wicking the solder away from the interface between the package body and the thermal land on the surface of the board during solder reflow. More information on this package and other requirements for using thermal lands and thermal vias are detailed in the TI application report PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package Application Report, TI literature number SLMA002, available via the TI Web pages beginning at www.ti.com.
