7.1. Sink Functional Description

The HDMI sink core provides direct connection to the Transceiver Native PHY through a 20-bit data path.

In TMDS mode, a DCFIFO clocks the HDMI data stream from the scrambler, TMDS/TERC4 decoder in the transceiver recovered clock domain to vid_clk domain. All the blocks in the video data operate in vid_clk domain.

The sink core accepts three 20-bit data input paths corresponding to each color channel. The sink core clocks the three 20-bit channels from the transceiver outputs using respective transceiver clock outputs.
  • Blue channel: Data channel 0
  • Green channel: Data channel 1
  • Red channel: Data channel 2
Note: Data channel 3 is unused in TMDS mode. Data channels 0–3 are always 40-bit wide, but only 20 bits from the least significant bits are used in TMDS mode.

The sink core provides N*48 bit video data per channel for each color channel, where N is number of pixels per clock.
