User’s Guide
Introduction
This purpose of this document is to introduce the ADD2 (Advanced Digital Display, 2nd Generation) Card, its
features and its usage. The ADD2 Card has been designed to work in Intel Motherboards that have PCI-Express
slots and support SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output) technology. It will not work on motherboards or systems that
support earlier DVO-based ADD (AGP Digital Display) Cards.
SDVO-based systems have 2 different layout options: non lane-reversed and lane-reversed, which require
separate ADD2 Card layout. The Orion ADD2-N (non lane-reversed) and Maia ADD2-R (lane reversed) cards
were designed for this requirement. They can be easily distinguished from their color code: ADD2-N is color
coded BLUE (see Figure 1) and ADD2-R is color coded RED (see Figure 2). Both cards have been designed to
meet the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) 1.0 standard.

Orion and Maia ADD2 Card User Guide
SiI-UG-0044-A 2
The Orion ADD2-N and Maia ADD2-R cards share common features such as:
• Dual Pad: Supports either the 64-pin SiI1364 package or 48-pin SiI1362 package (see note below)
• Low Profile Card dimensions
• Retention mechanism for excellent board stability
• Four-layer PCB for good thermal and signal integrity.
• DVI Single Link with 100ohm differential impedance
• EMI shielding on Layer 1 and Layer 4 via copper pour
• Identical Bill of Materials and layout, with exception of ADD2+ enable pull up on ADD2-R and SDVO input
• 2KB serial EEPROM to store configuration information
• No special drivers required to enable card in an SDVO based system.
The Orion ADD2-N and Maia ADD2-R cards are available from Silicon Image as part of a Starter Kit. The Starter
Kit includes all necessary items including high profile and low profile brackets for sampling and documents for
mass production.
Available documents in Starter Kits SiI-SK-0025 for ADD2-N and SiI-SK-0026 or by request:
1. Layout in PowerPCB 5.0 format
2. Gerbers for both Orion ADD2-N and Maia ADD2-R with X-Y data for assembly
3. Bill of Materials with alternate vendor sources for discrete devices
4. Low Profile and High Profile bracket dimensions, along with vendor information.
Note on SiI1362 pads: The ADD2 cards provide 48-pin support for specialized applications only, since the
SiI1362 package does not support the configuration EEPROM interface. The host system BIOS would require
special enhancements by the OEM to support this configuration. Silicon Image does not provide any software
support for use of the SiI1362 package on an ADD2 card.

Video Resolutions Supported
The ADD2 card will support all video modes that can be sent over a single link DVI connection, with pixel rates
ranging from 25 MHz to 162 MHz. This includes, but is not limited to, the following VESA and industry standard
modes. Note that some resolution selections may be disabled by the Grantsdale G drivers.

Board Description
The basic block diagram of the Orion and Maia ADD2 cards is illustrated in Figure 3. Each block is briefly
explained below.
Figure 3. Functional Blocks of ADD2 Card
PCI-Express Connector:
The PCI-Express slot passes all SDVO signals including the 1MHz-speed 2.5V I2C bus from the Grantsdale G
chipset and SDVO signals, and returns INT# (Serial Interrupt) from the SiI 1364 Tx. Both ADD2-N and ADD2-R
have x16 length PCI-Express card-edge connectors.
Configuration EEPROM
The Configuration EEPROM stores vital configuration header information for the Grantsdale G driver to recognize
and configure the SiI 1364 Tx as an SDVO-based DVI device. The EEPROM I2C bus from the SiI 1364 Tx
operates at 400kHz at 3.3V. The SiI 1364 Tx has internal 3.3V pull-up resistors for this bus; therefore, no external
pull-up resistors are stuffed. All ADD2 cards are shipped with a pre-programmed EEPROM installed. Refer to the
Bill of Materials for additional EEPROM information.
SiI 1364 Tx and I2C Circuits
The SiI 1364 Tx is the device that links the Grantsdale G platform to a DVI flat panel display. Grantsdale G reads
the EDID of a connected display, or retrieves configuration information from the EEPROM, by way of the I2C
pass-through of the SiI 1364 Tx. This pass-through interface operates at a 100kHz rate and provides the
required level shifting from the 2.5V Grantsdale G interface to either the 3.3V EEPROM interface or the 5V DDC
interface. The SiI 1364 Tx also provides an interrupt signal to the Grantsdale G to signal a display attach/detach
event using the DVI Hot Plug function.
Orion and Maia ADD2 User Guide
5 SiI-UG-0044-A
Note that the 2.5V I2C interface to the Grantsdale G chipset operates at speeds up to 1MHz when communicating
with the on-chip registers.
Hot Plug and Receiver Sense
Either Hot Plug or Receiver Sense can indicate attachment of a Digital Display to the ADD2 Card.
Hot Plug detects whether a display is attached by sensing when the display returns a 2V to 5V level on
the DVI connector Hot Plug pin.
Receiver Sense detects whether an attached display has applied power to its TMDS receiver by sensing
the voltage on the TMDS lines.
With this technology, no external circuit is required. While the ADD2 card supports both functions, only one can be
enabled at a time. At power-up time the Receiver Sense circuit is enabled, but the motherboard drivers typically
program the chip so that the Hot Plug function is used instead.
Physical Dimensions and Devices
Figure 4 illustrates the physical dimensions of the ADD2-N and ADD2-R cards. The PCI Express Card
Electromechanical Specification requires the maximum height of a low profile card to be 2.731inches(69.37mm)
or lower. The Orion ADD2-N and Maia ADD2-R cards are designed to meet this specification at a height of
2.57inch (65.4mm).

Table 2 describes the basic purpose of the devices shown in Figure 4. Both ADD2-N and ADD2-R have the same
placement for the devices, with only minor changes to the reference designators.

Usage
Insert the card in the PCI-Express slot of the Grantsdale G system, attach a DVI flat panel display using a DVI
cable, and boot the system. Use the correct ADD2 card (-N or -R) for the intended system. Using the wrong card
will not cause any damage, but it will not be initialized or show a display. The system should have Grantsdale G
drivers installed.
Enabling DVI Display and Changing Resolutions
All Grantsdale G video drivers provided by Intel have built in support to enable the ADD2 cards. No specialty
drivers are required. It is important to note that Silicon Image does not release, generate, or provide drivers. All
necessary drivers are available from Intel Corporation.
Download the latest Grantsdale G drivers from the Intel website or https:\\platformsw.intel.com. Install the driver
using the setup.exe file. Once installed, reboot the system and follow the instructions below
The following section provides guidance in using this application to capture and generate a DVI compliance
report.
a. Attach a DVI flat panel display to the ADD2 card. Ensure that the display is turned on.
b. On the Windows Desktop, right click and a dialog box will appear. Select “Graphics Options” and, if a digital
flat panel is attached to the system, the “Output To” selection will be available. Select either the “Digital Display”
option or the “Intel® Dual Display Clone” option to enable the digital flat panel.

c. To see the dialog box shown in Figure 6, simultaneously press “SHIFT+CTRL+F12” and release. On the left
column, icons list the available options for display. Select either Digital Display for single display only or Intel®
Dual Display Clone for simultaneous Analog and Digital Display.

Figure 7. The slider in the Screen Resolution box allows change of resolution. Slide the marker on the slider bar
to the intended resolution and click OK.

Layout Requirements
It is highly recommended that the provided layout and Gerber files be used for production of the ADD2 cards.
The cards are certified for acceptable radiated emissions levels as long as they are built as directed. Changes to
the silkscreen are allowed, but changes to layout, stack-up, or component selection will require the design to be
re-certified.
Both Orion ADD2-N and Maia ADD2-R cards follow the same trace guidelines for high-speed signals. The high-
speed traces consist of the SDVO input and the TMDS output of the SiI 1364 Tx. Figure 8 shows the appropriate
dimensions used to achieve a 100-ohm differential impedance between the traces.
Figure 8. SDVO and TMDS Trace Guideline
As shown in Figure 8, the trace width should be kept at 5 to 5.5 mils at layer 1, and the gap at 7 mil between each
pair. In addition, the stack-up between layer 1 and layer 2 should be kept at 5.5 mil. For detailed instructions on
all board fabrication related questions, please refer to the appropriate Gerber file for the Orion ADD2-N card or
the Maia ADD2-R card.
