GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9398 offers a high definition multimedia interface
(HDMI) receiver integrated on a single chip. Also included is
support for high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
The AD9398 contains a HDMI 1.0-compatible receiver and
supports all HDTV formats (up to 1080p) and display resolutions up to SXGA (1280 × 1024 @ 75 Hz). The receiver features
an intrapair skew tolerance of up to one full clock cycle. With
the inclusion of HDCP, displays can now receive encrypted
video content. The AD9398 allows for authentication of a video
receiver, decryption of encoded data at the receiver, and
renewability of that authentication during transmission as
specified by the HDCP 1.1 protocol.
Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9398 is
provided in a space-saving 100-lead, surface-mount, Pb-free,
plastic LQFP and is specified over the 0°C to 70°C temperature
range.

RTERM is the termination resistor used to drive the AD9398 internally to a precise 50 Ω termination for TMDS lines.
This should be a 500 Ω 1% tolerance resistor.
The main data outputs. Bit 7 is the MSB. The delay from pixel sampling time to output is fixed, but is different if the
color space converter is used. When the sampling time is changed by adjusting the phase register, the output
timing is shifted as well. The DATACK and HSOUT outputs are also moved, so the timing relationship among the
signals is maintained.
This is the main clock output signal used to strobe the output data and HSOUT into external logic. Four possible
output clocks can be selected with Register 0x25 [7:6]. These are related to the pixel clock (1/2× pixel clock,
1× pixel clock, 2× frequency pixel clock, and a 90° phase shifted pixel clock). They are produced either by the
internal PLL clock generator or EXTCLK and are synchronous with the pixel sampling clock. The polarity of DATACK
can also be inverted via Register 0x24 [0]. The sampling time of the internal pixel clock can be changed by
adjusting the phase register. When this is changed, the pixel-related DATACK timing is shifted as well. The DATA,
DATACK, and HSOUT outputs are all moved, so the timing relationship among the signals is maintained.
These pins supply power to the ADCs and terminators. They should be as quiet and filtered as possible.
A large number of output pins (up to 27) switching at high speed (up to 150 MHz) generates many power supply
transients (noise). These supply pins are identified separately from the V

The most sensitive portion of the AD9398 is the clock generation circuitry. These pins provide power to the clock
PLL and help the user design for optimal performance. The designer should provide quiet, noise-free power to
these pins.
This supplies power to the digital logic.
The ground return for all circuitry on chip. It is recommended that the AD9398 be assembled on a single solid
ground plane, with careful attention to ground current paths.

AD9398
DESIGN GUIDE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9398 is a fully integrated solution for receiving
DVI/HDMI signals and is capable of decoding HDCPencrypted signals through connections to an external
EEPROM. The circuit is ideal for providing an interface for
HDTV monitors or as the front end to high performance video
scan converters.
Implemented in a high performance CMOS process, the
interface can capture signals with pixel rates of up to 150 MHz.
The AD9398 includes all necessary circuitry for decoding
TMDS signaling including those encrypted with HDCP.
Included in the output formatting is a color space converter
(CSC), which accommodates any input color space and can
output any color space. All controls are programmable via a 2wire serial interface. Full integration of these sensitive mixed
signal functions makes system design straight-forward and less
sensitive to the physical and electrical environments.
DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital control inputs (I2C) on the AD9398 operate to 3.3 V
CMOS levels. In addition, all digital inputs, except the TMDS
(HDMI/DVI) inputs, are 5 V tolerant (applying 5 V to them
does not cause damage.) The TMDS input pairs (Rx0+/Rx0−,
Rx1+/Rx1−, Rx2+/Rx2−, and RxC+/RxC−) must maintain a
100 Ω differential impedance (through proper PCB layout)
from the connector to the input where they are internally
terminated (50 Ω to 3.3 V). If additional ESD protection is
desired, use of a California Micro Devices (CMD) CM1213
(among others) series low capacitance ESD protection offers 8
kV of protection to the HDMI TMDS lines.
SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The serial control port is designed for 3.3 V logic. However, it is
tolerant of 5 V logic signals.
OUTPUT SIGNAL HANDLING
The digital outputs operate from 1.8 V to 3.3 V (VDD).
POWER MANAGEMENT
The AD9398 uses the activity detect circuits, the active interface
bits in the serial bus, the active interface override bits, the
power-down bit, and the power-down pin to determine the
correct power state. There are four power states: full power, seek
mode, auto power-down, and power-down.
how the AD9398 determines the power mode to use and which
circuitry is powered on/off in each of these modes. The powerdown command has priority and then the automatic circuitry.
The power-down pin (Pin 81—polarity set by Register 0x26[3])
can drive the chip into four power-down options. Bit 2 and Bit 1
of Register 0x26 control these four options. Bit 0 controls
whether the chip is powered down or the outputs are placed in
high impedance mode (with the exception of SOG). Bit 7 to
Bit 4 of Register 0x26 control whether the outputs, SOG, Sony
Philips digital interface (SPDIF ) or Inter-IC sound bus (I
IIS) outputs are in high impedance mode. See the
Control Register Detail
section for the details.

VSYNC FILTER AND ODD/EVEN FIELDS
The VSYNC filter is used to eliminate spurious VSYNCs, maintain
a consistent timing relationship between the VSYNC and
HSYNC output signals, and generate the odd/even field output.
The filter works by examining the placement of VSYNC
with respect to HSYNC and, if necessary, slightly shifting
it in time at the VSOUT output. The goal is to keep the
VSYNC and HSYNC leading edges from switching at the
same time, eliminating confusion as to when the first line
of a frame occurs. Enabling the VSYNC filter is done with
Register 0x21[5]. Use of the VSYNC filter is recommended for
all cases, including interlaced video, and is required when using
the HSYNC per VSYNC counter.

HDMI RECEIVER
The HDMI receiver section of the AD9398 allows the reception
of a digital video stream, which is backward compatible with
DVI and able to accommodate not only video of various formats (RGB, YCrCb 4:4:4, 4:2:2), but also up to eight channels of
audio. Infoframes are transmitted carrying information about
the video format, audio clocks, and many other items necessary
for a monitor to use fully the information stream available.
The earlier digital visual interface (DVI) format was restricted
to an RGB 24-bit color space only. Embedded in this data
stream were HSYNCs, VSYNCs, and display enable (DE)
signals, but no audio information. The HDMI specification
allows transmission of all the DVI capabilities, but adds several
YCrCb formats that make the inclusion of a programmable
color space converter (CSC) a very desirable feature. With this,
the scaler following the AD9398 can specify that it always
wishes to receive a particular format—for instance, 4:2:2 YCrCb—
regardless of the transmitted mode. If RGB is sent, the CSC can
easily convert that to 4:2:2 YCrCb while relieving the scaler of
this task.
In addition, the HDMI specification supports the transmission
of up to eight channels of S/PDIF or I
2
S audio. The audio
information is packetized and transmitted during the video
blanking periods along with specific information about the
clock frequency. Part of this audio information (audio
infoframe) tells the user how many channels of audio are being
transmitted, where they should be placed, information
regarding the source (make, model), and other data.
DE GENERATOR
The AD9398 has an on-board generator for DE, for start of
active video (SAV), and for end of active video (EAV), all of
which are necessary for describing the complete data stream for
a BT656-compatible output. In addition to this particular
output, it is possible to generate the DE for cases in which a
scaler is not used. This signal alerts the following circuitry as to
which are displayable video pixels.

AD9398
G
4:4:4 TO 4:2:2 FILTER
The AD9398 contains a filter that allows it to convert a signal
from YCrCb 4:4:4 to YCrCb 4:2:2 while maintaining the
maximum accuracy and fidelity of the original signal.
Input Color Space to Output Color Space
The AD9398 can accept a wide variety of input formats and
either retain that format or convert to another. Input formats
supported are:
• 4:4:4 YCrCb 8-bit
• 4:2:2 YCrCb 8-, 10-, and 12-bit
• RGB 8-bit
Output modes supported are:
• 4:4:4 YCrCb 8-bit
• 4:2:2 YCrCb 8-, 10-, and 12-bit
• Dual 4:2:2 YCrCb 8-bit
Color Space Conversion (CSC) Matrix
The CSC matrix in the AD9398 consists of three identical
processing channels. In each channel, three input values are
multiplied by three separate coefficients. Also included are an
offset value for each row of the matrix and a scaling multiple for
all values. Each value has a 13-bit, twos complement resolution
to ensure the signal integrity is maintained. The CSC is
designed to run at speeds up to 150 MHz, supporting
resolutions up to 1080p at 60 Hz. With any-to-any color space
support, formats such as RGB, YUV, YCbCr, and others are
supported by the CSC.
The main inputs, R
, GIN, and BIN come from the 8- to 12-bit
IN
inputs from each channel. These inputs are based on the input
format detailed in
CSC inputs is shown in
Tabl e 1 0 . The mapping of these inputs to the

One of the three channels is represented in
processing channel, the three inputs are multiplied by three
separate coefficients marked a1, a2, and a3. These coefficients
are divided by 4096 to obtain nominal values ranging from
−0.9998 to +0.9998. The variable labeled a4 is used as an offset
control. The CSC_Mode setting is the same for all three
processing channels. This multiplies all coefficients and offsets
by a factor of 2

.
The functional diagram for a single channel of the CSC, as
shown in
Figure 6, is repeated for the remaining G and B
channels. The coefficients for these channels are b1, b2, b3, b4,
c1, c2, c3, and c4.

AUDIO PLL SETUP
Data contained in the audio infoframes, among other registers,
define for the AD9398 HDMI receiver not only the type of
audio, but the sampling frequency (f
contains information about the N and CTS values used to
recreate the clock. With this information, it is possible to
regenerate the audio sampling frequency. The audio clock is
regenerated by dividing the 20-bit CTS value into the TMDS
clock, then multiplying by the 20-bit N value. This yields a
multiple of the sampling frequency of either 128 × f
It is possible for this to be specified up to 1024 × f

In order to provide the most flexibility in configuring the audio
sampling clock, an additional PLL is employed. The PLL
characteristics are determined by the loop filter design, the PLL
charge pump current, and the VCO range setting. The loop

In HDMI mode, this bit enables a lower frequency to be used for
audio MCLK generation.
Allows the chip to determine the low frequency mode of the audio
PLL.
When the analog PLL is enabled for MCLK generation, another
frequency divider is provided. These bits set the divisor to 4.

AUDIO BOARD LEVEL MUTING
The audio can be muted through the infoframes or locally
via the serial bus registers. This can be controlled with
Register R0x57, Bits [7:4].
AVI Infoframes
The HDMI TMDS transmission contains infoframes with
specific information for the monitor such as:
• Audio information
• 2 channels to 8 channels of audio identified
• Audio coding
• Audio sampling frequency
• Speaker placement
• N and CTS values (for reconstruction of the audio)
• Muting
• Source information
• CD
• SACD
• DVD
This information is the fundamental difference between DVI
and HDMI transmissions and is located in read-only registers
R0x5A to R0xEE. In addition to this information, registers are
provided to indicate that new information has been received.
Registers with addresses ending in 0xX7 or 0xXF beginning at
R0x87 contain the new data flag (NDF) information. These
registers contain the same information and all are reset once
any of them are read. Although there is no external interrupt
signal, it is very easy for the user to read any of these registers to
see if there is new information to be processed.
OUTPUT DATA FORMATS
The AD9398 supports 4:4:4, 4:2:2, double data rate (DDR), and
BT656 output formats. Register 0x25[3:0] controls the output
mode. These modes and the pin mapping are listed in
Table 1 0.
• Video information
• Video ID code (per CEA861B)
• Color space
• Aspect ratio
• Horizontal and vertical bar information
• MPEG frame information (I, B, or P frame)
• Vendor (transmitter source) name and product model
