SN75DP159: EyeScan Control function

Part Number: SN75DP159
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDS181

Tool/software:

Hi  Tier

Can DP159 support the Eye Scan function? If supported, could you give my customer some guide?


Can DP159's TMDS disparity or data errors be used to count the number of bit errors when TMDS is transmitted properly? In datashett , Do We only need set bit[7:4] of the 16h register to 1 to enable bit error statistics? but we tested it , it doesn't work .

Test method: Modify the data polarity of the FPGA's HDMI PHY output, DP159 doesn't have an increase in BERT_CNT. but the display SCDC register error is increased, Explain that modifying the data polarity can create a bit error scenario, not detected by DP159. 

Do you know why , could you give some guidance.

Thank you very much.

  • Hi,

    Do they need the Eye Scan or the Pattern Verifier function? 

    For Pattern Verifier function, please see this app note. The SNxDP159/DP149 and TMDS181/171 devices have a pattern verification functions on each RX lane. The pattern verification functions supports several standard pseudo-random bit stream (PRBS) sequences, as well as clock pattern and user-defined custom patterns.

    Thanks
