Design of a Low-Power 1.65 Gbps Data Channel for HDMI Transmitter
This paper presents a design of low power data channel for application in
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Transmitter circuit. The input is
10 bit parallel data and output is serial data at 1.65 Gbps. This circuit uses
only a single frequency of serial clock input. All other timing signals are
derived within the circuit from the serial clock. This design has dedicated
lines to disable and enable all its channels within two pixel-clock periods
only. A pair of disable and enable functions performed immediately after
power-on of the circuit serves as the reset function. The presented design is
immune to data-dependent switching spikes in supply current and pushes them in
the range of serial frequency and its multiples. Thus filtering requirements
are relaxed. The output stage uses a bias voltage of 2.8 volts for a receiver
pull-up voltage of 3.3 volts. The reported data channel is designed using UMC
180 nm CMOS Technology. The design is modifiable for other inter-board serial
interfaces like USB and LAN with different number of bits at the parallel
input.Comment: TMDS, HDMI, USB, Gbps, data-dependent jitter, supply current, UMC180,
