Application information

5.1

Power supply sequencing

Proper power-supply sequencing is advised for all CMOS devices. It is recommended to

always apply VCC before applying any signals to the input/output or control pins.

5.2

Power supply requirements

Bypass each of the VCC pins with 0.1 μF and 1 nF capacitors in parallel as close to the

device as possible, with the smaller-valued capacitor as close to the VCC pin of the device as

possible.

All VCC pins can be tied to a single 3.3 V power source. A 0.01 μF capacitor is connected

from each VCC pin directly to ground to filter supply noise. The maximum power supply

variation can only be ±5% as per the HDMI specifications.

The maximum tolerable noise ripple on 3.3 V supply must be within a specified limit.

5.3

Differential traces

The high-speed TMDS inputs are the most critical parts for the device. There are several

considerations to minimize discontinuities on these transmission lines between the

connectors and the device.

(a) Maintain 100-

Ω differential transmission line impedance into and out of the STDVE003A.

(b) Keep an uninterrupted ground plane below the high-speed I/Os.

current path.

(d) Layout of the TMDS differential inputs should be with the shortest stubs from the

connectors.

Output trace characteristics affect the performance of the STDVE003A. Use controlled

impedance traces to match trace impedance to both the transmission medium impedance

and termination resistor. Run the differential traces close together to minimize the effects of

the noise. Reduce skew by matching the electrical length of the traces. Avoid discontinuities

in the differential trace layout. Avoid 90 degree turns and minimize the number of vias to

further prevent impedance discontinuities.
