Key Features
• Provides HD video
with only three pins
• RGB MPEG
The SiI9226 transmitter is the world’s first low-
pin-count digital media transmitter featuring sin-
gle data lane Transition Minimized Differential
Signaling (TMDS), which reduces pin-count for
small devices. The SiI9226 transmitter delivers
full high-definition video and digital audio
through three pins on most mobile connectors.
Utilizing only two differential TMDS pairs for
audio/video packets and a single-wire control
bus, MHL delivers the necessary video band-
width and replicates all the required control sig-
nals that comes with the traditional 19-pin
HDMI interface. A low-cost companion MHL
bridge chip converts the MHL signaling to
HDMI compliant signals for connectivity to
HDMI enabled DTVs.
In order to fit into the tight constraints of
today’s highly integrated mobile electronics, the
SiI9226 transmitter is housed in a tiny 5mm x
5mm, 64-ball chip scale VFBGA package. Even
in this diminutive package, the MHL transmit-
ters do not scrimp on performance, supporting
resolutions from standard definition 480i/p all
the way up to high-definition 720p and 1080i.
Silicon Image MHL products are designed
according to the requirements of the market seg-
ments. Together with its MHL-to-HDMI bridge,
SiI9226 is compliant with the latest version of
the industry leading HDMI standard for those
market segments. The SiI9226 carries audio/
video packets and control signals that are fully
interoperable with the HDMI interface. In addi-
tion, all Silicon Image hardware and software
solutions are developed and verified according
to the latest HDMI Compliant Test Specification
and Simplay HD™ HDCP interoperability com-
pliance requirements.
