Description

The CH7315B HDMI transmitter is mixed-signal video interface chip that transmits uncompressed, copy-protected video and audio data over a secure link from PCs to external television, HDTVs, DVD recorders and A/V receivers using HDMI standard.

The CH7315B also complies with Intel SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output} PC interface specification. The CH7315B HDMI transmitter receives video data through the SDVO bus, and it receive audio data from via an Intel HD (High Definition) Audio bus. CH7315B combines video and audio data, converting it into a single HDMI compliant bit stream for transmission to external CE (consumer electronics) devices. . The CH7315B device contains HDCP cryptographic functions and HDCP keys.

The CH7315B accepts SDVO serial input speeds of 1Gbps to 2Gbps and transmits video output at 25Mpps (pixels per second) to 165Mpps – pixel rates that support all HDTV display modes from 480I to 1080i/1080p.

The CH7315B device accepts RGB signals of 256-level (0-255) or 220-level (16-235) over three pairs of serial differential data ports, then performs the color space conversion and outputs 256-level (0-255) or 220-level (16-235) RGB, 4:2:2 YCbCr or 4:4:4 YcbCr data.

The CH7315B device also supports up to 8-channel audio output at 192 KHz. audio data. Available audio bandwidth depends on the pixel clock frequency, the video format timing, and whether or not content protection re-synchronization is needed.

Auto Power Saving mode is a new feature in the CH7315B that saves PC laptops power by automatically putting the chip into a low power consumption state if a no-need-for-transmission situation is detected.

Audio, video and auxiliary data are transmitted across the three HDMI data channels. The video pixel clock is transmitted on the HDMI clock channel. In order to transmit audio and auxiliary data across the HDMI channels, HDMI uses a packet structure and a special error reduction coding.

The CH7315B features dual output ports with dedicated DDC pins so that two external CE devices can be connected simultaneously and can be selected one at a time via software control. This eliminates the need to manually switch connectors as consumers swap the active receiving device from one connector to another. This feature allows easy implementation of a second HDMI output via the docking station of a notebook PC.
 

**CH7315B has been tested with the HDCP Compliance Test Specification version 1.1.
