TDA9984A
HDMI 1.3 transmitter with 1080p upscaler embedded
Rev. 04 — 15 January 2009
Product data sheet
1. General description
The TDA9984A is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) v. 1.3 transmitter with
embedded 1080p upscaling functionality. It is backward compatible DVI 1.0 and can be
connected to any DVI 1.0 and HDMI sink. It allows mixing a 3 × 8-bit RGB or YCbCr video
stream with a pixel rate up to 150 MHz together with up to 4 × I2S-bus or one S/PDIF
audio streams with an audio sampling rate up to 192 kHz. It supports Gamut boundary
description (xvYCC), as well as HD audio, both HDMI 1.3 features.
A programmable upscaling block allows creating a 1080p output from a standard definition
input. An intrafield deinterlacer is included in the scaler.
In order to be compatible with most applications, and thanks to the integration of a fully
programmable input formatter and color space conversion block, the video input formats
accepted also include YCbCr 4 : 4 : 4 (up to 3 × 8-bit), YCbCr 4 : 2 : 2 semi-planar (up to
2 × 12-bit) and YCbCr 4 : 2 : 2 compliant with ITU656 (up to 1 × 12-bit). In case of
ITU656-like format, the input pixel clock can be made active on both edges.
The TDA9984A includes a HDCP 1.2 compliant cipher block. The HDCP key are stored
internally in a non-volatile OTP memory for maximum security.
The TDA9984A includes a true I2C-bus master interface for DDC-bus communication for
EDID purpose and HDCP purpose.
The TDA9984A can be controlled by an I2C-bus interface.
