Product details
Overview
TDA19978AHV/15C183 from NXP Semiconductors is a quad HDMI 1.4a-compliant receiver IC with embedded EDID memory, auto-adaptive equalizer (supporting up to 25 m cable length at 2.05 GS/s), OTP-stored HDCP 1.4 keys, and dual-supply operation (1.8 V core / 3.3 V I/O). It processes HDMI video/audio streams into RGB or YCbCr digital outputs for high-end TV, AV receivers, and HDMI splitters.
For engineers reviewing the TDA19978AHV/15C183 datasheet, TDA19978AHV/15C183 pinout, TDA19978AHV/15C183 application, or TDA19978AHV/15C183 equivalent, key selection considerations include HDMI 1.4a compliance, quad-input support at up to 205 MHz TMDS clock, 10-/12-bit Deep Color capability, I²C-configurable output timing (tsu(Q)/th(Q)), and HLQFP144 package compatibility with thermal management requirements.
Technical Context
The TDA19978AHV/15C183 integrates four independent HDMI receivers with per-link auto-adaptive equalization and HDCP 1.4 repeater functionality. Its internal audio PLL generates system clocks (128/256/512 × fs) to drive external DACs like the UDA1334BTS without integrated PLLs.
Video processing includes programmable RGB↔YCbCr conversion, selectable 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 ITU-R BT.601/BT.656 output formats, and downsampling-by-two filters on Cb/Cr channels. All configuration and status monitoring occur via a 5 V-tolerant, 400 kbit/s I²C-bus interface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| HDMI Compliance | HDMI 1.4a, DVI 1.0, CEA-861-D, HDCP 1.4 - ensures interoperability with certified source/sink devices and content protection enforcement. |
| Max TMDS Clock | 205 MHz - supports full 1080p60, WUXGA (1920×1200p60 reduced blanking), and UXGA (1600×1200p60) video formats. |
| Input Channels | Four independent HDMI inputs - enables multi-source switching in AVRs, projectors, and HDMI matrix splitters without external muxing. |
| Color Depth | 8/10/12-bit per color - enables Deep Color mode for enhanced gamut representation in high-end displays and mastering systems. |
| Power Supplies | 1.8 V (core/VDDC), 3.3 V (HDMI I/O/VDDH, input/VDDI, output/VDDO) - requires dual-rail PCB design with tight regulation (±5% tolerance). |
| EDID Memory | 253 shared bytes + 3 dedicated bytes per input - allows unique EDID configuration per HDMI port for source-specific handshake behavior. |
| Equalizer Range | Supports 0.5 mm (24 AWG) cables up to 25 m at 2.05 GS/s - eliminates need for external redrivers in mid-range consumer AV equipment. |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Audio/video receiver aggregating HDMI sources (Blu-ray, game console, streaming box) and distributing synchronized video/audio to display and speaker systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: HDMI receiver front-end handling HDCP authentication, format detection, and parallel RGB/YCbCr output for downstream video processing and audio extraction. Use Value: Quad-input architecture eliminates need for external HDMI switches; embedded EDID and auto-equalization simplify integration with long cable runs and mixed-source ecosystems. |
Use Scenario: Distribution of one or more HDMI sources to multiple displays (e.g., digital signage, control rooms) with format preservation and HDCP passthrough. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central HDMI sink that terminates HDCP, reads EDID from each display, and regenerates clean HDMI streams with minimal latency and jitter. Use Value: Built-in repeater capability and per-port EDID memory enable plug-and-play compatibility with heterogeneous displays; no firmware updates required for new monitor models. |
| High-End LCD/Plasma TV | Professional Video Digitizer |
Use Scenario: Primary HDMI receiver in premium flat-panel TVs supporting 1080p60, Deep Color, and 3D formats (Frame Packing, Top-and-Bottom). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Format-agnostic video digitizer converting HDMI streams to internal RGB/YCbCr pixel data with programmable color space conversion and blanking measurement. Use Value: Accurate sync timing measurements and improved PC/TV format recognition ensure stable lock on non-standard resolutions (e.g., UXGA, WUXGA) without user intervention. |
Use Scenario: High-fidelity video acquisition system capturing HDMI signals for broadcast monitoring, medical imaging, or industrial inspection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision video digitizer providing LV-TTL parallel output with configurable tsu(Q)/th(Q) timing and 10-/12-bit depth for accurate pixel-level analysis. Use Value: Downsampled 4:2:2 YCbCr output reduces bandwidth for storage/transmission; internal pattern generator enables calibration traceability without external test equipment. |
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 embedded EDID or HDCP key storage; requires external microcontroller for HDCP management. | Limited to single-source systems; lacks quad-input flexibility and auto-equalization range (max 15 m). | Select when cost-sensitive designs require basic HDMI 1.4 reception without repeater or multi-port complexity. |
| ADV7611BSWZ | Quad-input HDMI 1.4 receiver with integrated CEC and superior audio packet extraction; supports HDMI 2.0 timing but not HDCP 2.x. | Better suited for systems requiring CEC control and advanced audio metadata parsing; higher power consumption (1.4 W active). | Choose for CEC-enabled AVRs or when deeper audio stream analysis (e.g., Dolby Atmos metadata) is required beyond TDA19978AHV/15C183's HBR/DSD capabilities. |
Compared with Si2242-A-EVB and ADV7611BSWZ, the TDA19978AHV/15C183 uniquely balances quad-input HDMI 1.4a reception, on-chip HDCP 1.4 key storage, and auto-adaptive equalization for 25 m cables-making it optimal for mid-to-high-tier AVRs and splitters where security, cable reach, and multi-source aggregation are co-priorities.

Yes, the TDA19978AHV/15C183 includes embedded EDID memory consisting of 253 shared bytes plus three dedicated bytes per HDMI input (A–D). This allows independent EDID configuration for each of the four HDMI ports, enabling source-specific handshake behavior in multi-display or multi-source systems using the TDA19978AHV/15C183.
What is the maximum supported cable length for the TDA19978AHV/15C183?
The TDA19978AHV/15C183's auto-adaptive equalizer supports laboratory-tested cable lengths up to 25 meters using a 0.5 mm (24 AWG) cable at 2.05 gigasamples per second. Performance depends on cable quality and signal integrity; actual usable length in production systems may vary based on EMI, connector quality, and layout practices around the TDA19978AHV/15C183.
How is HDCP implemented in the TDA19978AHV/15C183?
HDCP keys are stored in non-volatile One Time Programmable (OTP) memory inside the TDA19978AHV/15C183, ensuring maximum security against extraction or cloning. The device implements HDCP 1.4 with repeater capability, allowing authenticated content to be retransmitted to downstream sinks while maintaining chain integrity-fully supported in hardware without external key management for the TDA19978AHV/15C183.
What power supply voltages does the TDA19978AHV/15C183 require?
The TDA19978AHV/15C183 requires three distinct supply rails: 1.8 V for core logic (VDDC), 3.3 V for HDMI I/O (VDDH), and 3.3 V for input/output buffers (VDDI/VDDO). Each rail has ±5% tolerance (e.g., VDDH: 3.135 V to 3.465 V). Proper decoupling and sequencing-especially powering VDDC before VDDH-is mandatory per the TDA19978AHV/15C183 datasheet to ensure reliable startup and operation.
