7.2. HDMI TX with Integrated Transceiver

In the HDMI TX, the IP receives video data from the top level and performs auxiliary data encoding, audio data encoding, video data encoding, scrambling, TMDS encoding or packetization.

The HDMI TX includes a HDMI TX PHY block that receives the parallel data from the HDMI TX PHY, serializes the data and transmits it.

The HMI TX PHY uses dynamic reconfiguration for transceiver reconfiguration. It measures the input reference clock and then requests the reconfiguration through the Avalon Memory-Mapped interface.

For the TX transceiver (TX Direct PHY), the design example uses System PLL datapath clocking mode.

Figure 45. Functional Diagram of HDMI TX with Integrated TransceiverThe figure shows tx_clkout is the System PLL clock and tx_clkout2 is word clock. The tx_clkout2 drives the parallel data output from the HDMI TX IP. The design uses DCFIFO to switch the data from tx_clkout2 clock domain to the tx_clkout domain before going into TX transceiver.
