Figure 1. Functional Block Diagram

The PanelLink TMDS core accepts as inputs the three TMDS differential data lines and the differential clock. The

core senses the signals on the link and properly decodes them providing accurate pixel data. The core outputs

the necessary sync signals (HSYNC, VSYNC), clock (ODCK), and a DE signal that goes high when the active

region of the video is present.

The SCDT signal is output when there is active video on the DVI link and the PLL in the TMDS has locked on to

the video. SCDT can be used to trigger external circuitry, indicating that an active video signal is present or used

to place the device in power down when no signal is present (by tying it to PD#). The EXT_RES component is

used for impedance matching.

When Single/Dual Link Mode (S_D) is HIGH, the signals M_S and SYNC are used to select and coordinate

operation of two receivers in a dual-link DVI configuration. In this mode, at frequencies up to 165 MHz, the

master receiver outputs two pixels/clock (48 data bits). At frequencies above 165 MHz, the master outputs even

pixels (24 bits) while the slave receiver outputs odd pixels (24 bits) synchronized with one DE output from the

master.

Notes on previous table:

1. Guaranteed by design.

2. Jitter defined per DVI 1.0 Specification, Section 4.6 – Jitter Specification.

3. Jitter measured with Clock Recovery Unit per DVI 1.0 Specification, Section 4.7 – Electrical Measurement Procedures.

4. Output clock duty cycle is independent of the differential input clock duty cycle and the IDCK duty cycle.

5. Measured with transmitter powered down.

6. Value in parentheses is specified with OCK_INV#=1.

7. Skew between output data buses when two SiI 163B are wired in master-slave configuration for dual-link. See the

Receiver Layout section on page 30. The ‘minimum’ is the limit of Slave leading Master (slave data output earlier than

master data). The ‘maximum’ is the limit of Slave lagging Master (slave data output later than master data). When the

Slave lags the Master, then the setup time available from Slave data to ODCK (from the Master) is reduced.

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 10pf load, and using the standard ODCK (OCK_INV# = 0),

Table 1 shows the minimum set up and hold times for other speeds as follows:

Designers may want to check whether OCK+INV#=0 or OCK_INV#=1 provides better setup and hold time margin

for their dual-link design. If Slave data lags Master data, which is in part determined by the layout, then the setup

time from Slave to clock may be reduced, and the opposite ODCK edge may be more useful.

Feature Information

The SiI 163B can be configured in two modes: Single Link and Dual Link. When in Single Link (S_D is LOW), the

device operates in either 1-pixel/clock or 2-pixel/clock mode, according to the state of the PIXS pin. There is no

communication with a second receiver. In this mode, the SiI 163B operates in the same way as the other

PanelLink receivers: SiI 143B, SiI 151B, SiI 153B and SiI 161B.

In Dual Link mode, two SiI 163B’s operate together to handle bandwidths up to 330 megapixels per second. The

configuration and management of this mode is detailed in the following sections. Dual Link mode may operate

across a pixel frequency of 25 MHz to 330 MHz. Below 165 MHz, the second TMDS channel is quiescent. All

pixel data is sent across the first TMDS channel, and handled by the Master SiI 163B receiver. Above 165 MHz,

both SiI 163B receivers are active, with the pixels alternating even-and-odd from Master to Slave, driven by the

two TMDS DVI channels.

Dual Link

Two SiI 163B’s are required for a DVI compatible Dual Link application as configured in the block diagram of

Figure 11. At pixel frequencies up to 165 MHz, the 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 TMDS link connected to the Master receiver. Therefore all the

data, both EVEN and ODD pixels, is output by the Master receiver.

At pixel frequencies above 165 MHz, the 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 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.

Dual Link Configuration Pins

Five pins on the SiI 163B need to be considered for Dual Link receiver applications.

Table 2. SiI 163B Dual Link Pin Definitions

Pin Name Pin # Type Description

S_D 1 In 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.

PIXS / M_S 4 In 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

Single/Dual Link operation. The Slave receiver is always in one-pixel per

clock mode.

When S_D is LOW (Single Link), this pin becomes PIXS.

STAG_OUT /

SYNC

7 In 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.

SCDT 8 Out Sync Detect. When HIGH, there are valid sync signals coming from the

transmitter. When LOW, there are no sync signals coming from the

transmitter. The SCDT pin of the Slave receiver is connected to the S_D pin

of the Master receiver.

DE 46 Out 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.

The DE output pin of the Master is connected to the SYNC input pin of the

Slave.

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) is driven 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) is driven LOW, and the Master receiver is in Single Link (two-

pixels per clock) mode.

The Master receiver is configured by pulling 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. 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. When

it is in Single Link mode, the Master receiver is in two-pixels per clock mode outputting both the EVEN

and ODD data. 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.

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 are all connected from the Master receiver.

Slave – The Slave receiver is always configured for Dual Link (one pixel/clock) operation, by tying 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 tying the M_S pin to LOW. The Slave receiver will always contain the

ODD data bus 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 are all taken from the Master receiver, these pins are not

connected from the Slave receiver.

Dual Link Power Management

Power management with PD# and PDO# is slightly different in a Dual Link design than a Single Link.

When the receivers are in dual-link mode (S_D=1), then the connection from SCDT to PDO# is internal.

A receiver which detects no activity at the TMDS inputs will deassert SCDT, which will then put that chip

into power-down-output mode. This is the process which enables the slave receiver to tri-state its outputs

whenever it stops receiving data.

The outputs may also be directly tri-stated by asserting the PDO# pin.

Receivers will also enter a low-power state when the differential TMDS clock stops. The receiver

awakens when the clock resumes, at which point the receiver begins checking for active data. Active

data will assert SCDT and put the chip back into full-power mode.

Dual Link Mode Selection

Single Link Mode –

In Single Link mode, the Slave receiver is not active. Its outputs are all tri-stated. The Slave receiver will

detect that there is no signal coming from the transmitter and de-assert SCDT to LOW. The SCDT pin

from the Slave receiver is connected to the Master receiver’s S_D pin. This will cause the S_D pin of the

Master receiver to be LOW that will cause the Master receiver to be in Single Link mode. Since the

Master receiver is in Single Link mode, it will output two-pixels per clock. All the Data, both EVEN and

ODD pixels, will be output from the Master receiver. 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.

Dual Link Mode –

In Dual Link mode, the Slave receiver is active. The Slave receiver will detect that there are valid signals

coming from the transmitter and assert SCDT to HIGH. This will cause the S_D pin of the Master receiver

to be HIGH that will cause the Master receiver to be in Dual Link mode. This will also cause the Master

receiver to tri-state its Odd Data bus to allow the Slave receiver’s EVEN Data bus to be used as the ODD

Data. The Master receiver will output the EVEN Data. When there are no sync signals coming from the

transmitter, both the Slave and Master receiver’s outputs are tri-stated automatically.

The STAG_OUT pin of the Slave receiver is not used in one-pixel per clock mode, so this takes on a

different meaning in Dual Link mode. It becomes SYNC input pin. This pin is used for synchronization

between the Master and Slave receivers. The DE output pin from the Master receiver is connected to the

SYNC input pin of the Slave receiver.

Dual Link Timing Diagrams

Below in Figure 12 is an example of the output timing diagram of the Master receiver. When the Slave receiver’s

SCDT signal is LOW, the Slave receiver is inactive and has tri-stated all its data outputs. This is because the

system is sending data with a pixel clock of less than or equal to 165. The DVI link uses the Master receiver only.

There are no signals being sent to the Slave receiver from the system. The Master receiver is in Single Link 2-

pixel/clock mode and outputs the pixel data, both EVEN and ODD pixels.

When the Slave receiver’s SCDT signal goes HIGH, the system is sending sata with a pixel clock greater than

165 MHz and less then 330 MHz. The system is sending the EVEN pixel to the Master receiver and the ODD

pixel to the Slave receiver. The Slave receiver is receiving signals from the system and has asserted its SCDT

signal to the Master receiver. This puts the Master receiver in Dual Link 1-pixel/clock mode. The Slave receiver

outputs the ODD pixel data. The Master receiver outputs the EVEN pixel data. The Master receiver has tri-stated

its ODD pixel bus to allow the Slave receiver to send ODD pixel data.

Figure 13 is an example of the output timing diagram of the Slave receiver. When the Slave receiver’s SCDT

There are no signals being sent to the Slave receiver from the system.

When the Slave receiver’s SCDT signal goes HIGH, the system is sending data with a pixel clock greater than

165 MHz and less than 330 MHz. The system is sending the EVEN pixel to the Master receiver and the ODD

pixel to the Slave receiver. The Slave receiver is receiving signals from the system and has asserted its SCDT

signal to the Master receiver. This puts the Master receiver in Dual Link 1-pixel/clock mode. The Slave receiver is

outputting the ODD pixel data on its EVEN pixel bus. The Master receiver outputs the EVEN pixels. The Master

receiver has tri-stated its ODD pixel bus to allow the Slave receiver to send ODD pixel data.

Clock Detect Function

The SiI 163B includes a new power saving feature: power down with clock detect circuit. The SiI 163B will go into

a low power mode when there is no video clock coming from the transmitter. In this mode, the entire chip is

powered down except the clock detect circuitry. During this mode, digital I/O are set to a high impedance (tri-

state) mode. A weak internal pull-down device brings each output to ground. The device power down and wake-

up times are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7.

OCK_INV# Function

OCK_INV# affects only the phase of the clock output as

indicated in Figure 15. OCK_INV# does not change the

timing for the internal data latching. This timing is

shown in Figure 5.

TFT Panel Data Mapping

Table 5 summarizes the output data mapping in one pixel per clock mode for the SiI 163B. This output data

mapping is dependent upon the PanelLink transmitters having the exact same type of input data mappings.

Table 6 summarizes the output data mapping in two pixel per clock mode. More detailed mapping information is

found on the following pages. Refer to application note SiI-AN-0007 for DSTN applications.

Note that the choice of one pixel/clock versus two pixel/clock on the transmitter side has no effect on the choice of

one pixel/clock versus two pixel/clock on the receiver side. The data is always sent across the link at the pixel

clock rate. Therefore, designers using PanelLink receivers do not need to know how the transmitter has taken in

pixel data on the transmitter input pins.

For 18-bit mode, the Flat Panel Graphics Controller interfaces to the Transmitter exactly the same as in the 24-bit

mode; however, 6 bits per channel (color) are used instead of 8. It is recommended that unused data bits be tied

low. As can be seen from the above table, the data mapping for less than 24-bit per pixel interfaces are MSB

justified. The data is sent during active display time while the control signals are sent during blank time. Note that

the three data channels (CH0, CH1, CH2) are mapped to Blue, Green and Red data respectively.

only when the 24 data bits are not already used for pixel data. Such a solution also requires that the transmitter

board design input the shift clock (the blanked clock for DSTN) into the same unused data pin. By using the

SiI141B, DSTN panels may be driven without requiring any special connections on the transmitter side.

Design Recommendations

The following sections describe recommendations for robust board design with this PanelLink receiver.

Designers should include provision for these circuits in their design, and adjust the specific passive component

values according to the characterization results.

Differences Between SiI 161A and SiI 163B

While the SiI 163B is pin to pin compatible with the SiI 161A, there are minor differences in functions and

suggested external component value. When designing the SiI 163B into an existing design, note that the

recommended external resistor (EXT_RES) value has changed from 560 ohms to 390 ohms to match the

impedance of a 50 ohm cable.

Table 13 lists the differences between SiI 161A and SiI 163B. Table 14 lists SiI 161B to SiI 163B differences.

SCDT When PDO# is asserted, a pull-up resistor is

needed on SCDT to assure high-level.

SCDT continues to drive high or low when

PDO# is asserted. No need for pull-up.

HSYNC, VSYNC, CTL[1..3] Dejitter circuit adds one pixel clock time to

signals. This affects front-porch time for

HSYNC and VSYNC.

Dejitter circuit is always disabled.

Refer to SiI 161A Data Sheet for specifics. Output drive strength improved for these

signals. Refer to DC Specifications on

page 4. This improves output waveforms

when driving multiple loads. Some

designs may be able to change from ST=1

to ST=0.

Receiver powers down when PDO# is

asserted. SCDT asserts only when the chip

detects the lack of DE pulses.

schematically in Figure 19. Place these components as closely as possible to the PanelLink device pins, and

avoid routing through vias if possible, as shown in Figure 18, which is representative of the various types of power

pins on the receiver.

Series Damping Resistors on Outputs

Series resistors are effective in lowering the data-related emissions and reducing reflections. Series resistors

should be placed close to the output pins on the receiver chip, as shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20. Receiver Output Series Damping Resistors

Receiver Layout

Figure 21 to Figure 23 show an example routing of Dual Link for a DVI connector to the two SiI 163B’s. The

differential clock lines must be routed to the Slave receiver first, then to the Master receiver because of the way

the internal impedance matching circuit is configured.

Figure 21. DVI Dual Link Rx PCB Routing Example – Top View

When operating as a Dual Link system, the two SiI 163B’s must output their two data buses with synchronous

timing. As described earlier, this is done by connecting DE from the Master to SYNC on the Slave. The length of

the routed net from Master to Slave must be controlled to between 2.5 and 3.5 inches long. (This corresponds to

a flight time of 400ps to 560ps, at a propagation velocity of 160ps per inch, typical of PCB layouts.)

Similarly, the connection to the differential clock, at Slave and Master, must use routed nets which are controlled

in length. The ‘stub’ from the differential pair to the Slave RxC+ and RxC- pins must be less than 1.0 inch long

(160ps). The differential pair from the start of a the Slave’s ‘stub’ to the Master’s RxC+ and RxC- pins must be no

longer than 3 inches long (~500ps). Pull down resistors to stabilize Slave SCDT output(shown on Figure 24) can

be placed further from the Slave TMDS traces.

Differential routing or DE-to-SYNC routing longer than these limits will create a skew between Master and Slave

which may exceed what can be corrected in the receivers’ logic.

Figure 23. DVI Dual Link Rx PCB Routing Example - Bottom Signals Top View

The receiver chip should be placed as closely as possible to the input connector which carries the TMDS signals.

For a system using the industry-standard DVI connector (see http://www.ddwg.org), the differential lines should

be routed as directly as possible from connector to receiver. PanelLink devices are tolerant of skews between

differential pairs, so spiral skew compensation for path length differences is not required. Each differential pair

should be routed together, minimizing the number of vias through which the signal lines are routed.

As defined in the DVI 1.0 Specification, the impedance of the traces between the connector and the receiver

should be 100 ohms differentially, and close to 50 ohms single-ended. The 100 ohm requirement is to best match

the differential impedance of the cable and connectors, to prevent reflections. The common mode currents are

very small on the TMDS interface, so differential impedance is more important than single-ended.

Stabilized TMDS Inputs

The SCDT output of the slave SiI 163B receiver indicates the presence (or absence) of display data on the TMDS

link. Both incoming TMDS clock and data will output a HIGH via SCDT indicating that the encoded DE signal and

Clock from the TMDS transmitter is being detected and the link is active. In Dual Link mode the input Clock

signal is shared between Master and Slave SiI 163B.

When functioning in Single Link (in a Dual Link application), input TMDS data for Slave SiI 163B is absent, SCDT

output of the Slave SiI 163B will go low. However, system noise or coupled noise (above 20mV) can trigger the

differential input circuits of the receiver falsely indicating that display data is being received. In this condition, the

SiI 163B can assert SCDT High, even though the input data is invalid.

The SCDT output can be stabilized by introducing an offset voltage at the differential inputs. This can be

achieved by adding pull down resistors to the appropriate inputs. A nominal value of 2K ohms provides sufficient

offset between the + and – data differential inputs. In the application circuit, any value between 1.8K ohms and

2.5K ohms can be used with minimal effect on the single ended impedance.

Three pull down resistors should be placed

on either the + or – differential data input

pins. Figure 24 illustrates each + differential

input data pin pulled down by a nominal 2K

ohm resistor. The pull down resistors can be

placed either close to the receiver or the DVI

connector based on layout efficiency. Ensure

that the trace leading to the resistor and

ground is as short as possible to reduce

capacitive loading. The TMDS Clock (RXC+

and RXC–) input pins do not require pull

down resistors since they have internal pull

down resistors.

Figure 24. Stabilizing SCDT

Staggered Outputs and Two Pixels per Clock

PanelLink receivers offer two features that can minimize the switching effects of the high-speed output data bus:

two pixels per clock mode and staggered outputs.

The receiver can output one or two pixels in each output clock cycle. By widening the bus to two pixels per clock

whenever possible, the clock speed is halved and the switching period of the data signals themselves is twice as

long as in one pixel per clock mode. Typically, SXGA-resolution and above LCD panels expect to be connected

with a 36-bit or 48-bit bus, two pixels per clock. Most XGA-resolution and below LCD panels use an 18- to 24-bit

one pixel per clock interface.

When in two pixel per clock mode, the STAG_OUT# pin on receivers provides an additional means of reducing

simultaneous switching activity. When enabled (STAG_OUT# = Low), only half of the output data pins switch

together. The other half are switched one quarter clock cycle later. Note that both pixel buses use the same

clock. Therefore, the staggered bus will have one quarter clock cycle less setup time to the clock, and one

quarter clock cycle more hold time. Board designers driving into another clocked chip should take this into

account in their timing analysis.

Silicon Image recommends the use of STAG_OUT# and the two pixel per clock mode whenever possible.

Note that these features are limited when the SiI 163B is connected in Dual Link configuration.

The ePad must not be electrically connected to any other voltage level except ground (GND). A clearance of at

least 0.25mm should be designed on the PCB between the edge of the ePad and the inner edges of the lead

pads to avoid any electrical shorts. Dimensions T1 and T2 define the maximum limit of ePad size. Protrusions

from the edges of the ePad may vary slightly from one package assembler to another, but all are confined to

within these maximum dimensions.

PCB Thermal Land Area

The thermal land area on the PCB may use thermal vias to improve heat removal from the package. These

thermal vias can double as ground connections, attaching internally in the PCB to the ground plane. An array of

vias should be designed into the PCB beneath the package. For optimum thermal performance, it is

recommended that the via diameter should be 12 to 13 mils (0.30 to 0.33mm) and the via barrel should be plated

with 1 ounce 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

(0.1mm) larger than the via diameter.

Package stand-off is also a consideration. For a nominal stand-off of 0.1mm (see Figure 27, dimension ‘A1’), the

stencil thickness of 5 to 8 mils should provide a good solder joint between the ePad and the thermal land. The

aperture opening should be subdivided into an array of smaller openings.

Figure 26. ePad Template Layout

For improved heat transfer, the exposed ePad should be soldered to the thermal land on the PCB. This requires

solder paste application not only on the pin pad pattern, but also on the thermal land using a stencil. The stencil

thickness is a function of the lead pitch, package coplanarity and stencil dimensions. For a nominal package

standoff of 0.1mm, a stencil with 5 to 8 mil thickness should provide a good solder joint between the ePad and the

thermal land.

The thermal land is covered with a passivation layer, with openings corresponding to each of the metal

rectangles. For improved solder release, the land area should be subdivided into smaller shapes, coordinated

with the pitch and size of the thermal vias. The drawing in Figure 26 is representational. Such a structure should

result in a solder joint area of 80% to 90% of the ePad area. To achieve the specified thermal performance, at

least 70% of the ePad should be soldered to the thermal land.
