Part Number: TIDA-01226

Is the purpose of designing the U22 to power external devices via the USB interface?

Hello JingMingJun,

U22 creates DDCPWR which is used to power the 5V to the ITE6801 IC. This IC is used for the HDMI port.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello kyle

Thank you for your reply.
In the reference schematic, “DDCPWR” is connected to the output pin of U22, the “R0PWR5V” pin of IT6801 and the “+5V POWER” pin of HDMI interface.
The "R0PWR5V" pin of the IT6801 is described in the datasheet as "TMDS transmitter detection for Port 0 (5V-tolerant)".
When the HDMI input signal is connected,
①The “+5V POWER” pin of the HDMI interface will become +5V, and it seems that U22 has no meaning.
②If the “+5V POWER” pin of the HDMI interface does not have a +5V input, the U22 output seems to be a substitute. But there are two questions:
Question 1: When there is no "+5V POWER" when the HDMI signal is input, does it exist?
Question 2: If the situation in Question 1 exists, how does the IT6801 know that there is an HDMI signal input, so that U22 is enabled with the "ENVBUS#" signal?

Best Wishes !

HI JingMingJun,

As i mentioned in other thread also.. MSP430 code for this ITE card is not maintain by us.. so we do not have full understanding of the register spec for these pins. I will ask them and can give you the information latter.

But what I think this is being used for supporting the MHL mode. MHL requires to charge the device which means we have to provide additional power to the connected device (but I am not sure about that).

The HDMI detection is being done by the Hot_Plug detect pin.

Thanks,
Navneet
