SiI9223
PinnaClear
™
HDMI Receiver
Four-port HDMI Receiver with Mobile High-definition Link Support
The PinnaClear SiI9223 is a four-port HDMI receiver that delivers advanced HDMI 1.3
HDTV features including 1080p Deep Color and x.v.Color expanded color gamut. The
SiI9223 supports Silicon Image’s new Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology and
enables mobile devices such as digital cameras and camera phones to display high-defi-
nition content on digital televisions (DTVs).
Applications
• LCD HDTV
• Plasma HDTV
• Front and rear
projection HDTV
Key Features
• Four HDMI 1.3
inputs
The SiI9223 supports up to 36-bit color depth
at 1080p/60Hz, 720p/120Hz and 1080i/120Hz
resolutions and supports x.v.Color, which
increases the number of colors by 1.8 times the
RGB color space. The SiI9223 receiver also
includes a receiver programming interface that
significantly reduces the software overhead
required to control the receivers.
The SiI9223 integrates extended display identifi-
cation data (EDID), which is stored in embed-
ded non-volatile memory (NVM) and loaded
during power-up or initialization into four sepa-
rate EDID RAMs. The four embedded EDIDs
simplify the architecture, help reduce BOM cost
and save board space.
Integrated consumer electronics control (CEC)
hardware and API help reduce BOM cost and
development time. The CEC I/O meets HDMI
compliance tests and eliminates the need for
additional external components. The CEC API
manages reception and transmission of all CEC
signals and significantly lowers system-level con-
trol by the system microcontroller, simplifying
firmware overhead.
The SiI9223 consumes a minimal amount of
power when in standby mode, with both CEC
and EDID remaining fully operational. The
standby power plane is isolated and can be pow-
ered locally from standby auxiliary power or
one of the +5V signals from the HDMI cable.
Additionally, only the +5V power from the
source device is needed to read the EDID and
the display can be completely unplugged from
the AC power outlet.
The SiI9223 comes pre-programmed with
HDCP keys. This set of keys simplifies the man-
ufacturing process and lowers costs, while pro-
viding the highest level of HDCP key security.
The SiI9223 uses the latest generation of TMDS
core technology, supporting dynamic cable
equalization that will auto-detect the appropri-
ate equalization required for the incoming sig-
nal, offering the best support for long cable
connections. Silicon Image TMDS cores pass all
HDMI compliance tests.
Silicon Image’s Mobile High-Definition Link
(MHL) technology enables mobile phones, digi-
tal cameras, portable media players and other
mobile devices to connect directly to HDTVs.
MHL enabled devices allow consumers to watch
and listen to content on HDTVs with pristine
digital quality. MHL technology provides a low-
power, low-pin-count, HDMI-compatible solu-
tion for mobile devices.
