What is it about?
In this paper, signal and power integrity of complete High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) channel with IBIS-AMI model is presented. Gigahertz serialization and deserialization (SERDES) has become a leading inter-chip and inter-board data transmission technique in high-end computing devices. The IBIS-AMI model is used for circuit simulation of high-speed serial interfaces. A 3D frequency-domain simulator (FEM) was used to estimate the channel loss for data bus and HDMI connector. Compliance testing is performed for HDMI channels to ensure channel parameters are meeting HDMI specifications.

Why is it important?
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) has become very popular digital interfaces in the consumer electronics arena for high definition video and audio with personal computers and in-home theatre systems. The HDMI signal is transmitted from the video player (source) to the LCD panel (sink). As the panel size growing larger, and the display resolution growing higher as 4K2K, the required maximum data rate of HDMI reaches 3.4 Gbps. HDMI is a high-speed, serial digital signaling system that is designed to transport extremely large amounts of digital data over a long cable length with very high accuracy and reliability
Perspectives
This article will be useful for Signal and Power Integrity engineer working on SerDes interfaces. With increased data rates of high-speed input/output I/O buses, maintaining the signal quality of the transmission channel becomes challenging due to parasitic effects from interconnects which did not impact the overall performance at lower data rates
