SiI7023 and SiI7033 Feature Fully Integrated
PD/CC Communication Transceivers and Configuration Switches
Silicon Image (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leading provider of multimedia
connectivity solutions and services, today announced the SiI7023
and SiI7033, the industry’s first single-chip USB Type-C port
controllers that include MHL® Alternate Mode (“Alt Mode”) for the
USB Type-C specification, as well as port configuration switches.
These ICs have a fully integrated USB Type-C communication
transceiver, adhering to the Power Delivery (PD) and Configuration
Channel (CC) requirements defined in the USB Type-C related
specifications. Device manufacturers can utilize these new port
controllers with integrated switches in order to deliver brilliant
MHL 4K Ultra HD video, immersive audio, power, and data over the
USB Type-C connector.
The Sil7023 has been designed to enable concurrent MHL and USB
2.0 support over a USB Type-C connector, while the Sil7033
adds the ability to support USB 3.0 signals over a USB Type-C
connector for designs requiring USB 3.0 data connectivity. Both
solutions work with any MHL transmitter and are compatible with
more than 750 million existing MHL products already on the market.
USB Type-C devices that support MHL Alt Mode will be able to
connect to a large ecosystem of MHL TVs, monitors, AVRs, Blu-ray
Disc™ players, projectors, set-top boxes and automotive products
using USB Type-C to HDMI® Type-A MHL cables and USB Type-C to
superMHL™ cables. Mobile devices with USB Type-C MHL Alt Mode can
also connect to HDMI legacy displays using adapters that support
MHL-to-HDMI protocol conversion.
“We believe that enabling MHL over USB Type-C connectors will
create exciting, new market opportunities by delivering ultra
high-definition video and audio concurrently with USB to
consumers,” said Cheng Hwee Chee, senior director of marketing at
Silicon Image. “Silicon Image continues to be on the forefront of
multimedia connectivity innovation creating value for smartphone
and tablet manufacturers.”
