7.5.4.2 TMDS General Routing Guidelines

The TMDS signals are high speed differential pairs. Care must be taken in the PCB layout of these signals to ensure good signal integrity.

The TMDS differential signal traces must be routed to achieve 100 Ohms (+/- 10%) differential impedance and 60 ohms (+/-10%) single ended impedance. Single ended impedance control is required because differential signals can’t be closely coupled on PCBs and therefore single ended impedance becomes important.

These impedances are impacted by trace width, trace spacing, distance to reference planes, and dielectric material. Verify with a PCB design tool that the trace geometry for both data signal pairs results in as close to 60 ohms impedance traces as possible. For best accuracy, work with your PCB fabricator to ensure this impedance is met.

In general, closely coupled differential signal traces are not an advantage on PCBs. When differential signals are closely coupled, tight spacing and width control is necessary. Very small width and spacing variations affect impedance dramatically, so tight impedance control can be more problematic to maintain in production.

Loosely coupled PCB differential signals make impedance control much easier. Wider traces and spacing make obstacle avoidance easier, and trace width variations don’t affect impedance as much, therefore it’s easier to maintain accurate impedance over the length of the signal. The wider traces also show reduced skin effect and therefore often result in better signal integrity.

Some general routing guidelines regarding TMDS:

  • Avoid crossing splits reference plane(s).
  • Shorter trace length is preferred.
  • Distance between common mode filter (CMF) and ESD protection device should be as short as possible
  • Distance between ESD protection device and HDMI connector should be as short as possible.

Table 7-13 shows the routing specifications for the TMDS signals.

Table 7-13 TMDS Routing Specifications

PARAMETER MIN TYP MAX UNIT

Skew within a differential pair 3 5 Mils
Number of stubs allowed on TMDS traces 0 stubs
TMDS pair differential impedance 90 100 110 Ω
TMDS single-ended impedance 54 60 66 Ω
Number of vias on each TMDS trace 0 Vias
TMDS differential pair to any other trace spacing(1)(2)(3) 2×DS 3xDS Mils
Number of ground plane cuts allowed within HDMI routing region (except for specific ground carving as explained in this document) 0 Cuts
Number of layers between HDMI routing region and reference ground plane 0 Layers
PCB trace width 4.4 Mils
  1. DS = differential spacing of the traces.
  2. Exceptions may be necessary in the SoC package BGA area.
  3. GND guard-bands may be closer, but should not be allowed to affect the impedance of the differential pair routing. GND guard-bands to isolate HDMI differential pairs from all other signals is recommended.

Table 7-14 TDMS Routing Recommendations

Item Description Reason
ESD part number TPD1E05U06 Minimize capacitance (0.42pF)
Carve Ground Carve GND underneath ESD and CMF Minimize capacitance under ESD and CMF
Round pads Reduce pad size and round the corners of the pads for the ESD and CMF components Minimize capacitance
Routing layer Route all signals only on the same layer as SoC Minimize reflection loss

Figure 7-35presents an example layout, demonstrating the “carve GND” concept.
