General Description
The CH7301 is a Display controller device which accepts a digital graphics input signal, and encodes and transmits data through a DVI (TMDSTM link) or DFP (Digital flat panel) can also be supported. The device accepts data over one 12-bit wide variable voltage data port which supports four different RGB data formats. The DVI processor includes a low jitter PLL for generation of the high frequency serialize clock, and all circuitry required to encode, serialize and transmit data. The CH7301 comes in versions able to drive a DFP display at a pixel rate of up to 165MHz, supporting UXGA resolution displays. No scaling of input data is performed on the data output to the DVI device.

Description
Data Enable
This pin accepts a data enable signal which is high when active video data is input to the device, and low all other times. The levels are 0 to DVDDV, and the VREF signal is used as the threshold level. This input is used by the DVI links.

VREF
Reference Voltage Input
The VREF pin inputs a reference voltage of DVDDV / 2. The signal is derived externally through a resistor divider and decoupling capacitor, and will be used as a reference level for data, sync, data enable and clock inputs.

General Purpose Input - Output[1] / DVI Link Detect Output (internal pull-up)
This pin provides a general purpose I/O controlled via the IIC bus. The internal pull-up will be to the DVDD supply. When the GPIO[1] pin is configured as an input, this pin can be used to output the DVI link detect signal (pulls low when a termination change has been detected on the HPDET input). This is an open drain output. The output is released through IIC control.

HPDET
Hot Plug Detect (internal pull-down)
This input pin determines whether the TMDSTM link is connected to a DVI monitor. When terminated, the monitor is required to apply a voltage greater than 2.4 volts. Changes on the status of this pin will be relayed to the graphics controller via the P-Out/TLDET* or GPIO[1]/TLDET* pin pulling low.

External Clock Inputs These inputs form a differential clock signal input to the CH7301 for use with the H, V, DE and D[11:0] data. If differential clocks are not available, the XCLK* input should be connected to VREF.

Mode of Operation
CH7301A
The CH7301 is capable of being operated as a single DVI output link. Descriptions of the single DVI output link operating mode, with a block diagram of the data flow within the device is shown below.
DVI Output
In DVI Output mode, multiplexed input data, sync and clock signals are input to the CH7301 from the graphics controllers digital output port. Data will be 2X multiplexed, and the clock inputs can be 1X or 2X times the pixel rate. Some examples of modes supported are shown in the table below, and a block diagram of the CH7301 is shown on the following page. For the table below, clock frequencies for given modes were taken from VESA DISPLAY MONITOR TIMING SPECIFICATIONS if they were detailed there, not VESA TIMING DEFINITION FOR FLAT PANEL MONITORS. The device is not dependent upon this set of timing specifications. Any values of pixels/line, lines/frame and clock rate are acceptable, as long as the pixel rate remains below 165MHz. For correct DVI operation, the input data format must be selected to be one of the RGB input formats.
