TMDS181: Why can't be output 4K@60 video ?

Part Number: TMDS181

Hi all

     Why can't be output 4K@60 video ? 4K@30 can be output.

     Please help me to check the sch, and give me some suggest, Thanks a lot.Redriver.pdf

  • Hi,

    1. Please change the pull-up resistor on SDA_SNK and SCL_SNK from 1.5k to 2k

    2. Please remove the pull-up resistor on OE pin and have 200nF pull-down cap

    Can you implement the DDC snoop option and see if the 4K@60Hz work? If not, can you then toggle the HPD_SNK to see if the 4k@60Hz work?

    Thanks

    David

  • Hi David

          1. I had try 1.5k to 2k resistor, but can not 4K@60Hz work.

          2. Alson can not work

          Change DDC snoop and HPD_SNK,it can not work.

  • Hi, 

    Can you please dump out both Page 0 and Page 1 of the TMDS181 registers?

    The Page 0 registers are the registers in the TMDS181 datasheet. To access Page 1, please write 0x01 to register 0xFFh first, and then dump from registers 0x00h to 0xB1h.

    Thanks

    David

  • list the registers,check out please

    Thanks

  • HI,

    Looking at the register Page 0 register 0x0B, bit [4:3] TX_TERM_CTL needs to be set to 0x11 for HDMI2.0 when TMDS181 I2C_EN = 1. 

    Does the source and the sink support HDMI2.0? The TMDS_CLOCK_RATIO_STATUS needs to be 1 for HDMI2.0 based on the DDC bus snooping and I still this bit being set to 0.

    Thanks

    David

  • I tried to set bit [4:3] TX_TERM_CTL = 00 、01 、11,it still Failed

    Inaddition,when I2C_EN=0,It also can't be output 4K 60

    change 0x0B to "TMDS Clock is 1/40 of TMDS bit period" 

    the HDMI_CLK frequence change to 37.5M (Normal 148.5M)

    the source and the sink support HDMI2.0

  • Hi,

    Are you changing the source from HDMI1.4 to 2.0 without unplugging the HDMI cable? If this is the case, can you try to toggle PD_EN and see if HDMI2.0 can work?

    If the PD_EN does not work, can you force the TMDS181 into the retimer mode by writing 0x11 to Register 0x0A bit [1:0]? 

    Thanks

    David
