Overview
The main building blocks of the AMN11100 are as follows:
• AMN2110 WHDI Baseband Transmitter, as briefly described on page 4
• LPC2103 Mini-MAC µController, as briefly described on page 4
• MAX2828 5GHz (802.11a) Transceiver, as briefly described on page 5
• Power Amplifier (PA), as briefly described on page 5
• Board Connector (WHDI Connector), as described on page 5
• E2PROM, as described on page 5
• 40MHz Clock Gen, as described on page 5
2.1 AMN2110 WHDI Baseband Transmitter
The AMN2110 WHDITM baseband transmitter chip is the heart of the AMN11100 WHDI transmitter module. The
AMN2110 interfaces the A/V source through the WHDI connector, and is controlled on board by the MiniMAC uC.
Figure 2: WHDI Baseband Transmitter Chipset
The AMN2110 is based on MIMO technology transmitting through up to four output channels. Four
digital-to-analog converters and one analog-to-digital converter are embedded within the chip.
The AMN2110 internal PLL accepts an input clock frequency of 40MHz. The input frequency is multiplied and
then used as an internal system clock.
2.2 LPC2103 Mini-MAC µController
The LPC2103 microcontroller is based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU, with embedded 32kB high-speed
memory. It is used as an external microcontroller for implementing the MAC layer of the WHDI link.
The LPC2103 internal PLL accepts an input clock frequency of 20MHz and generates an internal 60MHz system
clock.

AMIMON Confidential 4
Overview
2.3 MAX2828 5GHz (802.11a) Transceiver
The VSU has four MAX2828 chips embedded in it. The MAX2828 is a single-chip, RF transceiver IC designed
specifically for single-band 4.9GHz to 5.875GHz, OFDM, 802.11 WLAN applications. It includes all the circuitry
necessary to implement the RF transceiver function, providing a fully integrated receive path, transmit path, VCO,
frequency synthesizer and baseband/control interface. Only the PA, RF switches, RF bandpass filters (BPF), RF
BALUNs and a small number of passive components are required to form the complete RF front-end solution.
AMIMON's WHDITM technology uses the low cost and high availability of the 802.11a/n RF to allow low-cost RF
for the video modem. Future generations of the WHDI modem will use an AMIMON-designed, cost-efficient,
single-chip, integrated RFIC for multiple transmits on the transmitter side and a single-chip, integrated RFIC for
multiple receivers on the receiver side.
2.4 Power Amplifier (PA)
In order to extend the operating range for the AMN11100, the RF transmitter uses power amplifiers. Each power
amplifier has an output power detector for TPC purposes. Amimon has implemented Anadigics AWL6951 PA on
the AMN11100.
2.5 Board Connector (WHDITM Connector)
For information regarding the connector specification and pin-outs, see section 4.1, AMN11100 Board Connector
(WHDI Connector), page 15.
2.6 E2PROM
The E2PROM is currently a system option, enabling mating and authentication in a multipoint design
environment.
2.7 40MHz Clock Gen
An on-board 40MHz TCXO is connected to the MAX2828 chipsets and the AMN2110 baseband. The clock is
then divided by two by the AMN2110 and supplied to the LPC2103 uC.

3.1 Video Data Input and Conversions
Figure 3: Video Data Processing Path
Figure 3 shows the stages for processing video data through the AMN2110. The HSYNC and the VSYNC input
signals are mandatory. The DE input signal is optional and can be created with the DE generator using the
HSYNC and the VSYNC pulses.
The video input data is uncompressed digital video up to 3*10 bits in width.
Important: When connected to a 3*8 bits source, connect the appropriate LSBs to GND.
The video interface provides a direct connection to the outputs from an HDMI receiver or from an MPEG decoder.
The appropriate registers must be configured to describe which format of video to input into the AMN11100. Refer
to the appropriate programmer's reference guide for more details.
DATA Enable (DE) Generator
The AMN2110 includes logic to construct the DE signal from the incoming HSYNC, VSYNC and clock. Registers
are programmed to enable the DE signal to define the size of the active display region.
Color Space Converter
The AMN11100 can receive either RGB or YCbCr color space. For more details, you may refer to the MAC
registers in the programmer's reference guide.

3.2 Audio Data Capture
AMN11100 transports an explicit audio master clock with appropriate data-over-the-wireless link. No constraints
exist for a coherent video and audio clock, where coherent means that the audio and the video clock must have
been created from the same clock source. The AMN11100 can accept digital audio from either SPDIF or I2S
inputs.
The AMN11100 supports two channel audio sampling frequencies of up to 48KHz and of up to 32 bits per
sample.

AMIMON Confidential 9
Interfaces
3.2.1 I2S Bus Specification
The AMN11100 supports a standardized communication structure inter-IC sound (I2S) bus. As shown in Figure 5,
the bus has three lines: continuous serial clock (SCK), word select (WS) and serial data (SD). The external
device generating SCK and WS is the audio source.
Figure 5: I2S Simple System Configurations and Basic Interface Timing
The AMN11100 supports an I2S format of up to 32 bits for each channel (left and right). The serial data is latched
into the AMN11100 on the leading (LOW to HIGH) edge of the clock signal. The WS is also latched on the
leading edge of the clock signal. The WS line should change one clock period before the first bit of the channel is
transmitted.
The AMN1110 transmits explicit clock SD and WS and does not process the audio content. The input audio at the
transmitter end is mirrored to the receiver end. The source may have different word lengths, up to 32 bits.
However, the AMN11100 always samples and transmits 24 bits over the wireless link.

3.3 Management Buses and Connectors
3.3.1 Two-Wire Serial Bus Interface
The WHDI application observes and controls the AMN11100 via a Two-Wire interface and an interrupt line
connecting the application microcontroller and the AMN11100 MiniMAC microcontroller. The protocol of the Two-
Wire bus for the WHDI application / MiniMAC interface is described in the following sections.
The Two-Wire bus is bidirectional and, as its name implies, has only two wires: a Serial Clock Line (SCL) and a
Serial Data Line (SDA). The Two-Wire architecture includes master and slave devices. The master initiates a
data transfer on the bus and generates the clock signal. The AMN11100 MiniMAC operates as a slave device.
Each slave device is recognized by a unique address and can operate as either a receive-only device or a
transmitter with the ability to both receive and send information.

Figure 7: Two-Wire Application / MiniMAC Connection
On top of the Two-Wire low level operation described in sections 3.3.1.2 and 3.3.1.3, the WHDI application and
the MiniMAC microcontrollers communicate with each other in a defined protocol, which avoids all possibilities of
confusion. The protocol defines command oriented transactions between the application and the WHDI MiniMAC.
Each Two-Wire command has a predefined data byte length and is defined to be exactly one Two-Wire
transaction long.
3.3.1.1 Device Addresses
The MiniMAC device address may be altered by two jumpers on VDU/VSU board.
Table 6: Device Addresses
Device Address
MiniMAC uC 0x62 or 0x82 or 0x90 or 0x70
(Board configuration dependant)
Alternatively, the device address can be set in the MAC SW in advance.
3.3.1.2 MiniMAC uC Write Operation
Figure 8 demonstrates a write transaction which sends 2 data bytes and which ends with the master stop bit.
Each write transaction sends 1 or more data bytes to the MiniMAC, beginning at an explicit 2 bytes long address.
Multiple data bytes may be written as the MiniMAC stores the received register data until the master sends a stop
bit. The MiniMAC updates the register value upon a successful termination of a write transaction.

3.3.1.3 MiniMAC uC Read Operation
This operation reads from a specific 2-byte address. The read transaction is divided into two parts. In the first
part, the Two-Wire master sends a write command to the slave containing only the required start address. (The
address is always 2 bytes long.) In the second part, multiple bytes may be read from consecutive addresses. The
MiniMAC puts the appropriate data on the Two-Wire bus and the internal address is automatically incremented. A
stop bit is sent by the master only when the entire transaction has been completed.

3.3.1.4 WHDI Application / MiniMAC Protocol
The WHDI programmer’s reference defines the MiniMAC registers data structure. Each register has an
associated group ID and index offset address.
The group ID and the index offset are each 1 byte long. Together they define a register address that is 2 bytes
long.
Each register has an attributed length (in byte units). All registers within the same group have the same length.
A Two-Wire transaction to a specific register includes 2 bytes of register address and the register data bytes. The
register is written in one transaction. If the transaction terminates ahead of time or is too long, the MiniMAC
issues an error interrupt and does not store the received values. The register is read in one transaction, as
described in section 3.3.1.3. If the read transaction finishes ahead of time, the MiniMAC issues an error interrupt.
3.3.2 Interrupts
There is one interrupt connected to the WHDI connector. The interrupt source is the AMN2110 MiniMAC uC. For
details about the interrupt, please refer to the Programmer's User Guide.

3.4 Reset and Wake-up Timer
The AMN11100 has one hard RESET input pin connected directly to the AMN2110 and through a MicroPower
circuit to the LPC2103 uC, as described in Figure 10. Upon power up, the MicroPower circuit asserts the uC reset
pin for about 150msec. Assertion of the LPC2103 reset starts its internal wake-up timer, causing the internal chip
reset to remain asserted until the external reset is de-asserted, the 20MHz clock runs, a fixed number of clocks
have passed and the on-chip flash controller has completed its initialization.
When the LPC2103 internal reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which is the reset
vector. At that point, all of the processor and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined reset
values. The processor initializes the AMN2110 baseband chipset. After the reset is de-asserted for TBD msec, it
is ready to operate.
The wake-up timer monitors the 20MHz clock in order to check whether it is safe to begin code execution.

Design Guidelines
6.1.2 General Guidelines
• Keep traces as short as possible.
• Traces should be routed over full solid reference plans.
• Sensitive lines like reset and clocks should be routed with special care.
These lines should be routed over full solid power plans (ground or power).
Traces should be routed at least 2 times the trace width away from other lines in the same routing layer.
Place a series resistor ~30 ohm at the clock source.
• Keep digital signals away from the analog side.
6.1.3 WHDI Lines
• Place series resistors on all output lines (near the outputs pins).
• Series resistors on input lines are unnecessary. (The series resistors should be placed on the interface
board.)
6.1.4 Power and Ground
• Use a solid ground plan.
• Ground plans separation is unnecessary.
• Place decoupling capacitors near power pins. (Refer to the schematics and BOM for recommended values.)
• Analog power pins should be filtered with ferrite beads. (Refer to the schematics and BOM for recommended
values.)
