System Applications
The SiI9233A receiver is designed for digital televisions that require support for HDMI Deep Color. The device allows
receipt of 10/12-bit color depth up to 1080p resolutions. A single receiver provides four HDMI input ports. The video
output interfaces to a video processor and the audio output can interface directly to an audio DAC or an audio DSP for
further processing as shown in Figure 1.

Package Information

ePad Requirements
The SiI9233A receiver is packaged in a 144-pin, 20 mm x 20 mm TQFP package with an ExposedPad™ (ePad™) that is
used for the electrical ground of the device and for improved thermal transfer characteristics. The ePad dimensions are
4.445 mm x 4.0604 mm ±0.15 mm. Soldering the ePad to the ground plane of the PCB is required to meet package
power dissipation requirements at full speed operation, and to correctly connect the chip circuitry to electrical ground. A
clearance of at least 0.25 mm should be designed on the PCB between the edge of the ePad and the inner edges of the
lead pads to avoid the possibility of electrical shorts.
The thermal land area on the PCB may use thermal vias to improve heat removal from the package. These thermal vias
also double as the ground connections of the chip and must attach internally in the PCB to the ground plane. An array of
vias should be designed into the PCB beneath the package. For optimum thermal performance, the via diameter should
be 12 mils to 13 mils (0.30 mm to 0.33 mm) and the via barrel should be plated with 1-ounce copper to plug the via. This
design helps to avoid any solder wicking inside the via during the soldering process, which may result in voids in solder
between the pad and the thermal land. If the copper plating does not plug the vias, the thermal vias can be tented with
solder mask on the top surface of the PCB to avoid solder wicking inside the via during assembly. The solder mask
diameter should be at least 4 mils (0.1 mm) larger than the via diameter.
Package stand-off when mounting the device also needs to be considered. For a nominal stand-off of approximately 0.1
mm the stencil thickness of 5 mils to 8 mils should provide a good solder joint between the ePad and the thermal land.
Figure 3 on the next page shows the package dimensions of the SiI9233A receiver.

CB Layout Guidelines
Refer to Silicon Image document PCB Layout Guidelines: Designing with Exposed Pads for basic PCB design
guidelines when designing with thermally enhanced packages using the exposed pad. This application note is intended
for use by PCB layout designers.
