HDMI COMPLIANCE TEST SOFTWARE PACKAGE
The SDA-HDMI software package
for the SDA family of Serial Data
Analyzers provides a concise set
of validation/verification and debug
tools written in accordance with
High Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) electrical test specifications.
Covered HDMI test modes include
Source and Cable Tests covering
amplitude-timing, and jitter parameters
as well as cable impedance tests.
In addition to standard eye pattern
and jitter tests for HDMI, the SDA
real-time test equipment platform
provides a complete set of amplitude
and jitter measurements, as defined
in the HDMI specification. This
combination of measurements makes
SDA-HDMI a cost-effective, compelling
HDMI solution.
Additionally, the SDA-HDMI software
package takes advantage of all the
user-acclaimed test and measurement
tools available in LeCroy’s instruments:
•D350ST-SP, WaveLink®4GHz
Bandwidth Probing System,
available in SP (square pins) input
or Solder-In (SI) configurations, for
achoice between versatility and
the highest signal integrity with
the lowest probe loading across
the entire bandwidth range.
•Jitter Wizard tool available in
ASDA-J Advanced Serial Data
Analysis package ensures proper
jitter measurement setup, allowing
for correlation with other test
instruments such as BERT,
Sampling oscilloscopes or time
interval analyzers (TIAs).
Leading Features

enhanced, or high-definition
video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable
•HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer
electronics applications, it
offers an array of additional
consumer enhancements
•Amplitude,Timing, Jitter
and Cable Measurements
•Custom Clock recovery
supports Filtered Jitter
measurements
•Supports a variety of cable
configurations and test
fixture scenarios

X-Replay: A New Generation
of Software Tools for HDMI
Developers
Ashardware designers are quickto
recognize, measurement results often
need to be summarized and tabulated
for quickspecification verification.
SDA-HDMI goes a leap beyond by
incorporating a unique application
framework, where every experimental
result is saved in XML, format directly
compatible with most popular data-
base applications. Areport generation
engine interfaces with the underlying
Microsoft®Access-compatible database
to facilitate custom text and graphics
based reports. Sample applications
that stand to benefit the most from
the new software framework include,
but are not limited to:
•Chipset developers who require
comprehensive silicon characteri-
zation to define parametric
performance and establish device
performance capability.
•Device development teams
working in parallel development
cycles who need to combine,
study, and interpret performance
data and correlate with prior
design runs
•Manufacturing/Production test
environments where key
performance parameters are
monitored using control charts
or other in-process indicators
of device performance

Powerful Debugging Tools
Ensure HDMI Connectivity
SDA-HDMI provides access to
time-domain-reflectometry (TDR)
test capabilities available in
LeCroy’s line of Near Real Time
oscilloscopes (NRO). The use of
SDA-HDMI in conjunction with
the deep memory and powerful
analysis library of the SDA
instrument family simplify greatly
the verification process.
Clock recovery circuitry and
clock extraction via Phase-Locked
Loops (PLLs) is another significant
design consideration. The flexible
clock recovery options in the SDA
allow for the simulation of virtually
any real receiver PLL configuration,
thus allowing the simulation of
“what if” scenarios. Jitter results
can be measured exactly as the
receiver would see them.
Comprehensiveand Easy-
to-Read Test Reports
Ashardware designers are quick
to recognize, measurement results
often need to be summarized and
tabulated for quick specification
verification. These test results,
together with instrument and signal
acquisition/test condition setups,
create a fully documented record.
SDA-HDMI incorporates a multiple-
format report generation engine.
This test report contains tabulated
numerical values for each individual
test result including PASS/FAIL and
specification limit columns.

Advanced Real-time Jitter and
Eye Pattern Analysis
While the SDA instrument family includes
the ability to measure jitter and eye
patterns in real time, the SDA-HDMI
package leverages the Advanced Serial
Data Analysis Library (ASDA-J), which
provides ultimate control of PLL design,
jitter measurement conditions that
include detailed Data Dependent Jitter
(DDj) breakdown and also bit error rate
(BER) analysis. The SDA provides
pinpoint accuracy for eye mask violations
locator, even in the presence of Spread
Spectrum Clock (SSC).
