Description

Circuit for carrying out line speed forwarding on low-speed signal of HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) protocol
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a microelectronics communication technology field, in particular to circuit that line speed was forwardded to HDMI agreement low-speed signal carries out.
Background
With the development of display technology, the resolution of the display is increasing. The transmission rate of audio and video data is from hundred megahertz to gigahertz to dozens of gigahertz, and the light-in copper degradation of a display transmission system becomes the necessity of the development of a display technology under the trend. In addition to the Definition of High-speed signals, display transmission protocols such as HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), etc. specify five low-speed signals, namely SDA (Serial Data Line), SCL (Serial Clock Line), HPD (Hot Plug Detection), CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), ARC (Audio Return Channel ). These signals play an important role in display control, user manipulation, and audio return. Therefore, the low-cost, low-delay, high-reliability and high-compatibility optical fiber transmission of the low-speed signals plays an important role in the realization of the optical fiber HDMI and the optical DVI. However, half-duplex communication such as SDA, SCL is not well compatible with unidirectional communication such as fiber-optic communication. The single bus communication used in CEC has bus arbitration problem and conflicts with the topology of point-to-point communication of fiber optic communication. The ARC signal also has certain requirements on the bandwidth of the fiber transmission.
Some solutions are given in the prior art regarding HDMI protocol low speed signaling, such as:
(1) the DDC signal of the source terminal is connected to a local EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), and EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information of the general-purpose Display device is stored in the local EEPROM. The scheme has the defects that the EDID information of the actual display equipment cannot be read, and the scheme compatibility is poor.
(2) And electrifying to read the EDID information of the display equipment terminal, and then transmitting the EDID information to the source terminal in an optical fiber communication mode. The method can effectively copy EDID of the display equipment terminal at the source terminal, so that the EDID information of the display equipment can be correctly read when the far terminal initiates DDC (Direct Digital Control) communication. However, the drawback of this solution is that it cannot support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), SCDC (Status and Control Data Channel, HDMI Status and Control Data Channel), clock extension, and Read request (Read request, function of the display device actively pulling down sda signal to request the source device to Read its flag bit).
(3) Using a store-and-forward approach, DDC information is first received, and when a device-side response is required, the SCL signal is actively pulled down to cause clock stretching at the remote end, thereby waiting for the slave to respond. And when the slave device responds, the clock is returned to the source device, and the clock extension is cancelled. The scheme can normally read EDID, supports HDCP and SCDC, and extends clock. However, the scheme has the disadvantages of long response delay, and the requirement of waiting for reading the response of the slave device and then feeding back the response to the source device. And this scheme does not work for the case where the source device does not support clock stretching. The compatibility of this scheme is poor.
In addition, in the prior art, no effective solution is provided for the bus arbitration problem of CEC communication.
Therefore, in order to solve the problems in the prior art and completely implement the SDA, SCL, HPD, CEC and ARC five low-speed signals for full duplex communication by using optical fiber transmission, a circuit for forwarding the low-speed signals according to the HDMI protocol at a line speed is needed.
