IDTV936PNG8

Video Processing Overview

The IDTV936PNG8 is an HDMI transmitter IC compliant with DVI 1.0, HDMI 1.3, and HDCP 1.2 specifications. It supports resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz or 720p/1080i@120Hz with Deep Color capabilities reaching 36-bit color depth. The device features an integrated HDMI 1.3 TMDS core operating at 250 MHz and includes a built-in HDCP encryption engine with pre-programmed keys. It accepts flexible video inputs including 12/24/30/36-bit RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4 and handles high-fidelity audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD via I²S, SPDIF, or DSD interfaces. The component utilizes a 100-pin TQFP package.

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as the datasheet originates from Integrated Device Technology (IDT), which was acquired by Renesas Electronics. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix PNG8 corresponds to the 100-Pin TQFP package variant. Ensure compatibility with system requirements for HDMI 1.3 and HDCP 1.2 protocols before integration.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring backward compatibility with HDMI 1.1 and 1.2 standards while supporting advanced features like 36-bit Deep Color. It is suitable for systems needing integrated HDCP key management to simplify manufacturing. Consider its 5V tolerant digital inputs and 1.8V core voltage for power-efficient designs without additional level-shifting components.

Video Processing Part Context

The IDTV936 is part of the HDMI transmitter family designed for next-generation HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players. It bridges high-definition video sources to displays using the TMDS interface. The device simplifies system design by integrating video processing, audio handling, and content protection into a single chip, reducing board space and component count for consumer electronics manufacturers.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

The pin mapping is compatible with the Silicon Image SiI9134. Verify electrical parameters and software configuration differences when substituting other HDMI transmitters in existing designs.

Video Processing FAQ

Does the IDTV936 require an external audio master clock?

No, an audio master clock is not required for either SPDIF or I²S support.
