Functional Description
IT66121 is a low-power version of HDMI 1.3 transmitter and provides complete solutions for HDMI
Source systems by implementing all the required HDMI functions. In addition, advanced processing
algorithms are employed to optimize the performance of video processing such as color space
conversion and YCbCr up/down-sampling. The following picture is the functional block diagram of

Video Data Processing Flow

Figure 3 depicts the video data processing flow. For the purpose of retaining maximum flexibility, most
of the block enabling and path bypassing are controlled through register programming. Please refer to
IT66121 Programming Guide for detailed and precise descriptions.
As can be seen from Figure 3, the first step of video data processing is to prepare the video data
(Data), data enable signal (DE), video clock (Clock), horizontal sync and vertical sync signals
(H/VSYNC). While the video data and video clock are always readily available from input pins, the
preparation of the data enable and sync signals require special extraction process (Embedded Ctrl.
Signals Extraction & DE Generator) depending on the format of input video data.
All the data then undergo a series of video processing including color-space conversion and YCbCr

IT66121FN
up/down-sampling. Depending on the selected input and output video formats, different processing
blocks are either enabled or bypassed via register control. For the sake of flexibility, this is all done in
software register programming. Therefore, extra care should be taken in keeping the selected
input-output format combination and the corresponding video processing block selection. Please refer
to the IT66121 Programming Guide for suggested register setting.
Figure 3. Video data processing flow of IT66121
Designated as D[23:0], the input video data could take on bus width of 8 bits to 24 bits. This input
interface could be configured through register setting to provide various data formats as listed in Table
1.
Although not explicitly depicted in Figure 3, input video clock (PCLK) can be configured to be
multiplied by 0.5, 1, 2 or 4, so as to support special formats such as CCIR-656 and pixel-repeating.
This is also enabled by software programming.
General description of block functions is as follows:

Extraction of embedded control signals (Embedded Ctrl. Signals Extraction)
Input video formats with only embedded sync signals rely on this block to derive the proper Hsync,
Vsync and DE signals. Specifically, CCIR-656 video stream includes Start of Active Video (SAV) and

IT66121FN
End of Active Video (EAV) that this block uses to extract the required control signals.
Generation of data enable signal (DE Generator)
DE signal defines the region of active video data. In cases where the video decoders supply no such
DE signals to IT66121, this block is used to generate appropriate DE signal from Hsync, Vsync and
Clock.
Upsampling (YCbCr422 to YCbCr444)
In cases where input signals are in YCbCr 4:2:2 format and output is selected as 4:4:4, this block is
enabled to do the upsampling.
Bi-directional Color Space Conversion (YCbCr ↔ RGB)
Many video decoders only offer YCbCr outputs, while DVI 1.0 supports only RGB color space. In order
to offer full compatibility between various Source and Sink combination, this block offers bi-directional
RGB ↔ YCbCr color space conversion (CSC). To provide maximum flexibility, the matrix coefficients
of the CSC engine in IT66121 are fully programmable. Users of IT66121 could elect to employ their
preferred conversion formula.
Downsampling (YCbCr444 to YCbCr422)
In cases where input signals are in YCbCr 4:4:4 format and output is selected as YCbCr 4:2:2, this
block is enabled to do the downsampling.
HDCP engine (HDCP)
The HDCP engine in IT66121 handles all the processing required by HDCP mechanism in hardware.
Software intervention is not necessary except checking for revocation. Preprogrammed HDCP keys
are also embedded in IT66121. Users need not worry about the purchasing and management of the
HDCP keys.
TMDS driver (TMDS Driver)
The final stop of the data processing flow is TMDS serializer. The TMDS driver serializes the input
parallel data and drive out the proper electrical signals to the HDMI cable. The output current level is
controlled through connecting a precision resistor of proper value to Pin 20 (REXT).

Notes:
1. Table cells that are left blanks are those format combinations that are not supported by IT66121.
2. Embedded sync signals are defined by CCIR-656 standard, using SAV/EAV sequences of FF, 00, 00, XY.
3. The original pixel clock of 480i is 13.5MHz. HDMI standard mandates that a 27MHz pixel clock be used and pixel
repeating is employed to keep the frequency range of the HDMI link within control.
Audio Data Capture and Processing

IT66121 takes in four I2S inputs as well as one S/PDIF input of audio data. The four I2S inputs allow
transmission of 8-channel uncompressed audio data at up to 192kHz sample rate. The S/PDIF input
allows transmission of uncompressed PCM data (IEC 60958) or compressed multi-channel data (IEC
61937) at up to 192kHz.
Note that MCLK input is optional for the IT66121. By default IT66121 generates the MCLK internally to
process the audio. Neither I2S nor S/PDIF inputs requires external MCLK signal. However, if the jitter
or the duty cycle of the input S/PDIF is considerable, coherent external MCLK input is recommended
and such configuration could be enabled through register setting. Refer to IT66121 Programming
Guide for such setting.

IT66121FN
High-Bit-Rate (HBR) Audio is first introduced in the HDMI 1.3 standard. It is called upon by high-end
audio system such as DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. No specific interface is defined by the HBR
standard. The IT66121 supports HBR audio in two ways. One is to employ the four I2S inputs
simultaneously, where the original streaming HBR audio is broken into four parallel data streams
before entering the IT66121. The other is to use the S/PDIF input port. Since the data rate here is as
high as 98.304Mbps, a coherent MCLK is required in this application.
Interrupt Generation
The system micro-controller should take in the interrupt signal output by IT66121 at PIN 10 (INT). INT
pin can be configured as Push-pull or Tristate mode depending on user’s application. IT66121
generates an interrupt signal with events involving the following signals or situations:
1. Hot-plug detection (Pin 14, HPD) experiences state changes.
2. Receiver detection circuit reports the presence or absence of an active termination at the TMDS
Clock Channel (RxSENDetect)
3. DDC bus is hanged for any reasons
4. Audio FIFO overflows
5. HDCP authentication fails
6. Audio/Video data is stable or not
A typical initialization of HDMI link should be based on interrupt signal and appropriate register probing.
Recommended flow is detailed in IT66121 Programming Guide. Simply put, the microcontroller should
monitor the HPD status first. Upon valid HPD event, move on to check RxSENDetect register to see if
the receiver chip is ready for further handshaking. When RxSENDetect is asserted, start reading EDID
data through DDC channels and carry on the rest of the handshaking subsequently.
If the micro-controller makes no use of the interrupt signal as well as the above-mentioned status
registers, the link establishment might fail. Please do follow the suggested initialization flow
recommended in IT66121 Programming Guide.

IT66121FN
Configuration and Function Control

IT66121 includes two serial programming ports by default (i.e. with embedded HDCP keys): one for
interfacing with micro-controller, the other for accessing the DDC channels of HDMI link.
The serial programming interface for interfacing the micro-controller is a slave interface, comprising
PCSCL (Pin 12) and PCSDA (Pin 11). The micro-controller uses this interface to monitor all the
statuses and control all the functions. Two device addresses are available, depending on the input
logic level of PCADR (Pin 32). If PCADR is pulled high by the user, the device address is 0x9A. If
pulled low, 0x98.
The I2C interface for accessing the DDC channels of the HDMI link is a master interface, comprising
DDCSCL (Pin 16) and DDCSDA (Pin 15). IT66121 uses this interface to read the EDID data and
perform HDCP authentication protocol with the sink device over the HDMI cable.
For temporarily storing the acquired EDID data, IT66121 includes a 32 bytes dedicated FIFO. The
micro-controller may command IT66121 to acquire 32 bytes of EDID information, read it back and then
continue to read the next 32 bytes until getting all necessary EDID information.
The HDCP protocol of IT66121 is completely implemented in hardware. No software intervention is

needed except for revocation list checking. Various HDCP-related statuses are stored in HDCP
registers for the reference of micro-controller. Refer to IT66121 Programming Guide for detailed
register descriptions. The HDCP Standard also specifies a special message read protocol other than
the standard I2C protocol. See Figure 4 for checking HDCP port link integrity.

2. The serial programming output ports are not real open-drain drivers. Sink current is guaranteed by I/O design
under the condition of driving the output pin with 0.2V. In a real serial programming environment, multiple devices
and pull-up resistors could be present on the same bus, rendering the effective pull-up resistance much lower
than that specified by the I2C Standard. When set at maximum current, the serial programming output ports of
IT66121 are capable of pulling down an effective pull-up resistance as low as 500Ω connected to 5V termination
voltage to the standard I2C VIL. When experiencing insufficient low level problem, try setting the current level to
higher than default. Refer to IT66121 Programming Guide for proper register setting.

IT66121FN
System Design Consideration

As a high-performance receiver/transmitter, ITE’s RX/TX is capable of receiving/transmitting those
signals that are attenuated and degraded by the HDMI cables. These signals are usually very small in
amplitudes in addition to the distortion that the cable inflicts on them. The analog front-end of ITE’s
RX/TX is designed to combat environment noises as well as interference to some degree. However, to
get the optimum performance the system designers should follow the guideline below when designing
the application circuits and PCB layout.
HDMI Differential Signal

The characteristic impedance of all differential PCB traces (RX2P/M, RX1P/M, RX0P/M, and
RXCP/M) should be kept 100_ all the way from the HDMI connector to ITE’s RX/TX. This is very
crucial to the system performance at high speeds. When routing these 4 differential transmission
lines (8 single-ended lines in total), the following guidelines should be followed:
1. The signals traces should be on the outside layers (e.g. TOP layer) while beneath it there
should be a continuous ground plane in order to maintain the called micro-strip structure,
giving stable and well-defined characteristic impedances.
2. Cornering, through holes, crossing and any irregular signal routing should be avoided so as
to prevent from disrupting the EM field and creating discontinuity in characteristic impedance.
3. ITE’s RX/TX should be placed as close to the HDMI connector as possible. Since the TMDS
signal pins of ITE’s RX/TX perfectly match the order of the connector pins, it is very
convenient to route the signal directly into the chip, without through holes or angling.
4. Carefully choose the width and spacing of the differential transmission lines as their
characteristic impedance depends on various parameters of the PCB: trace width, trace
spacing, copper thickness, dielectric constant, dielectric thickness, etc. Careful 3D EM
simulation is the best way to derive a correct dimension that enables nominal 100_
differential impedance. Please contact us directly for technical support of this issue.
5. The sensitive HDMI differential signals should be taken when routing. To reduce the
differential unbalanced effect, it is recommended to separate at least 3 times the dielectric
thickness between the signal layer and the reference layer to any other adjacent signal or
GND plane to reduce noise inference and jitter. (or 25 mils is enough space in almost PCB
stack)
ESD Consideration
Special care should be taken when adding discrete ESD devices to all differential PCB traces
(RX2P/M, RX1P/M, RX0P/M, and RXCP/M). ITE’s RX/TX is designed to provide ESD protection
for up to 2kV at these pins. Adding discrete ESD diodes could enhance the ESD capability, but at
the same time will inevitably add capacitive loads, therefore degrade the electrical performance at

IT66121FN
high speeds. If not chosen carefully, these diodes coupled with less-than-optimal layout would
prevent the system from passing the SINK TMDS-Differential Impedance test in the HDMI
Compliance Test (Test ID 8-8). Besides, most general-purpose ESD diodes are relatively large in
size, forcing the high-speed differential lines to corner several times and therefore introducing
severe reflection. Carefully choosing an ESD diode that's designed for HDMI signaling could lead
to a minimum loading as well as an optimized layout. Commercially available devices such as
Semtech's RClamp0524p that take into consideration of all aspects are recommended. A layout
example is shown in Fig. 16, with referenced FR4 PCB structure included. Note that the ESD
diodes should be placed as close to the HDMI connectors as possible to yield the best ESD
performances.
Figure 16: PCB layout example for high-speed transmission lines with RClamp0524p
Notes: The PCB stack and material will affect differential impedance. The customer shall
co-work with PCB provider to obtain the real 100 ohm impedance based on actual PCB stack
and material.
Power Supply Bypassing

1. It is recommended to bypass each group of power supply pin with a 0.1µF capacitor.
2. It is also recommended that the bypass capacitor be located within about 0.5cm distance of
each power pin.

Via to GND
3. Avoid placing the capacitor on the opposite side of the PC board from the HDMI IC.
4. It is recommended to add ferrite beads for analog powers. Ex. PVDD, PVCC, AVDD etc…
5. Shorter power loop makes better performance.
High Speed Digital Input/Output Signals(Both Data and Clocks)

1. To obtain good signal quality and avoid EMI issue, 4-layres PCB stacks are recommended.
2. Try to minimize the trace length that the digital outputs have to drive.
3. Keep these high speed signals refer to a continue GND or power plane, no GND or power slot
break the returning current path.
4. It’s recommended to add a series resistor of value 33 ohm to suppress reflections, reduce
EMI, and reduce the current spikes. These series resistors should be place as close to the
driving pins as possible.
5. If possible, try to place ITE’s RX/TX and related “Scalar IC” on the same PCB side and route
these high speed signals not to through vias to get the better signal quality.
6. The sensitive clock (PCLK) signals should be taken when routing. To reduce the crosstalk
effect, it is recommended to separate at least 2 times the maximum dielectric thickness
between the signal layer and the reference layer to any other adjacent signal to reduce noise
