Product details
Overview
TDA19978AHV/15,557 from NXP Semiconductors is a quad HDMI 1.4a-compliant receiver IC with embedded EDID memory, auto-adaptive equalization supporting up to 25 m cable length at 2.05 GSPS, and OTP-stored HDCP 1.4 keys. It processes HDMI streams into RGB or YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:2 outputs and supports Deep Color (10-/12-bit) up to 205 MHz TMDS clock for HDTV (1920×1080p60) and PC formats (UXGA 1600×1200p60).
For engineers reviewing the TDA19978AHV/15,557 datasheet, TDA19978AHV/15,557 pinout, TDA19978AHV/15,557 application, or TDA19978AHV/15,557 equivalent, key selection considerations include HDMI 1.4a compliance, quad-input channel independence, 1.8 V/3.3 V dual-supply operation, I²C-bus programmability of video timing (tsu(Q)/th(Q)), and support for HBR audio (up to 768 kHz) and SACD/DST streams.
Technical Context
The TDA19978AHV/15,557 integrates four independent HDMI receivers with per-channel termination resistance control, embedded oscillator (or external crystal option), and an audio PLL generating 128/256/512 × fs system clocks. Its video processing path includes format recognition (TV/PC), sync timing measurement, and ITU-R BT.601/BT.656-compliant YCbCr output formatting.
Audio handling includes eight-channel S/PDIF or I²S output capability, HBR stream demultiplexing across four outputs, DSD/DST packet extraction, and channel status decoding for multi-channel reception. All configuration-including color space conversion (RGB↔YCbCr), output bit depth (8/10/12-bit), and downsampling filters-is performed via a 5 V-tolerant, 400 kbit/s I²C-bus interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDMI receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si2242-A-EVB | Single-input HDMI 1.4 receiver; no built-in HDCP key storage (requires external EEPROM); lacks quad-input architecture and HBR audio support | Targeted at cost-sensitive single-source endpoints (e.g., monitors), not multi-input repeaters or AVRs | Select only when quad input, HDCP repeater capability, or HBR audio are not required |
| ADV7611WBCPZ | Quad-input HDMI 1.4 receiver with integrated CEC and analog video inputs; uses external HDCP keys; supports higher power consumption (1.5 W typical vs. 1.13 W at 1080p60) | Broadens system integration with legacy CVBS/component support but increases layout complexity and thermal load | Prefer when mixed analog/digital input support or CEC control is mandatory; otherwise TDA19978AHV/15,557 offers lower power and simpler HDCP provisioning |
Compared with Si2242-A-EVB and ADV7611WBCPZ, the TDA19978AHV/15,557 uniquely combines quad HDMI 1.4a inputs, on-die HDCP 1.4 keys, and HBR audio demux in a thermally optimized HLQFP144 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, security-critical multi-source consumer AV equipment where power efficiency and design simplicity are prioritized.
