Abstract

HDMI 2.0 supports up to 18Gbps total bandwidth (6Gbps per channel, with three TMDS data links). The insertion loss budget is usually calculated for the entire transmission path (including the loss of the motherboard PCB trace, vias, connectors, cables, and the equalization capability of the receiving end.) During the design, if the total insertion loss exceeds the HDMI source and receiver compensation capability then consider adding designs such as a redriver pr a retimer. Between them, the redriver is more popular in economical design projects because of the cost advantage. This application note introduces and uses the latest HDMI 2.0 redriver (TDP0604) to discuss and share how to make correct adjustments when executing the HDMI compliance test to achieve a passing result.
