  1. Applications Issues

  2. Applications Issues: Powering up the HDMI Tx • When Hot-Plug Detect (HPD) is low the HDMI Tx will automatically go into power down mode. • After an HPD interrupt, register 0x41[6] must be set to ‘0’ to power up the part • During power down all registers except for 0x97 – 0xAF are reset to defaults • Most HDMI Tx devices (except AD9889, AD9389, AD9387, ADV7520, ADV7521) have an "HPD Override" function • These devices will operate same as if HPD = 1 when HPD "override" is enabled • On the ADV7510, the registers will reset on an HPD = 1 -> 0 transition • On the rest of these HDMI Tx devices the registers will not reset on an HPD = 1 -> 0 transition • HPD state and interrupt registers remain available even if HPD Override is enabled

  3. Applications Issues: Clock Delay Adjustment • When input data to clock skew is not ideal, the clock delay can be adjusted in the HDMI Tx • For ADV7520 and later DDR falling edge can be adjusted independently

  4. Applications Issues: EDID reading wait time • To ensure that the EDID/HDCP controller has sufficient time to read the EDID from the sink, the system software should wait a certain amount of time before judging that there is no EDID • The time recommended is based on 256 byte of DDC bus reading at 20KHz clock rate • This gives the minimum recommended time out period of • 256 bytes x 10 cycle per byte x 50us = 128ms • To make system more robust, 0.5s is recommended to allow at least 3 EDID reading tries.

  5. Applications Issues: High Speed I2C Bus • ADV7523 and later support 400kHz I2C operation. • ADV7511, ADV7523A, ADV7524A, ADV7525, ADV7541 • Register 0xE6[1] must be set to 0 • If 0xE6[1] is not set interrupt registers and mask registers are not reliable • All earlier Tx only support up to 100kHz I2C • AD9x89, AD9387, ADV7510, ADV7520, ADV7521

  6. Common Apps Issues - HDCP • HDMI Tx contains a robust HDCP controller • Most HDCP timing is handled internally • All devices pass the official HDCP compliance test • Common Causes for HDCP problem • Ri Mismatch • Problem with HDCP keys • Some Tx need the internal key selected by a register setting • Some Tx need an external EEPROM • Vsync not stable • I2C NACK • Problem with DDC line capacitance • Extremely Long Cable

  7. Common Apps Issues – Debugging HDCP • Make sure PLL locked register is always 1 • Try probing the Vsync, DE, and Hsync inputs to the HDMI Tx • Are there any glitches? • A glitch would cause the mask on the Tx and Rx to mismatch • HDCP “snow” would result until the Ri mismatch causes reauthentication • If using AD9389B or ADV7520 make sure 0xBA[4] is set to 1. • If HDCP problems still exist probe the DDC lines to find exactly where the problem is • Scope with I2C software • Beagle I2C Analyzer

  8. Common Apps Issues – Video Input Formatting • Requires communication between customer HW and SW engineers • Many pin connection options are available • Options for Hsync, Vsync, and DE input are available • Separate Hsync, Vsync, and DE • Embedded Syncs • Hsync and Vsync only • Requires an understanding of the part feeding the video’s format specification • Many chips output a format that will work with an encoder but requires special handling for HDMI

  9. Quick Check for Input formatting problems • PLL Status Register • Check several times continuously • If PLL is not locked check the signal integrity of the video clock and R_EXT noise • Input VIC Detected Register • If a CEA861 format is used the VIC code should be available • If “0” is present, then the input format is not recognized

  10. PLL Lock Issues • A common issue is PLL not locking • This can be verified by checking register 0x9E[4] • Until 0x9E[4] = 1, focus on hardware • Generally there are 2 causes • Ringing on the CLK input • Low frequency noise near the R_EXT resistor • Solutions • Make sure all fixed register settings match recommendations • Add 100ohm serial resistor near the clock source • Reduce drive strength on the clock • Check layout for DDC lines or other low speed lines crossing the R_EXT traces

  11. 480i input • If customer is using a 480i format • Best option is to have EAV and SAV timing matching the diagram on left • ADV752x and ADV7510 have flexible timing options allowing conversion to CEA 861

  12. Common Apps Issues – Audio Input Formatting • Low power Tx use SPDIF or I2S • AD9889B does not support 32 clock per fs format I2S • 4 different formats are supported on the I2S pins • Compressed Audio • Compressed audio is passed as is through the Tx • No processing Done • Channel Status must be included • Dolby 5.1, DTS, Dolby Plus and DTS HRA are the same from HDMI Tx perspective • SPDIF is the easiest method for sending compressed audio • Special I2S mode with embedded channel status can also be used

  13. Common Apps Issues – Audio Input Formatting • ADV7510 and ADV7511 Support High Bit Rate Audio • Compressed streams over 6.144mbs • Dolby True HD and DTS Master are the popular formats • These look the same from the HDMI Tx perspective • Input • Always uses the I2S lines • Can use I2S style or SPDIF style input • For inputs besides ADI Rx subpacket mapping may need to be modified
