VIP Host Interface Port
The TVP5041 host interface is configured for video interface port (VIP) operation by attaching external pullup and
pulldown resistors to the GLCO, PALI, and FID terminals. The following is the combination of resistors required to
select VIP host mode, where 0=pulldown and 1=pullup.

The video interface port is a standard interface, conforming to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA
)
VIP specification version 2.0 between a video enabled graphics device and one or more video devices. The video
port of VIP transports various types of real time signal streams. Signal names in parenthesis ( ) denote the signal name
referenced in the VIP specification. Five terminals are required for host port transfers: VC3, VC0, VC1, VC2, and
INTREQ. Table 2–4 summarizes the terminal functions of the VIP-mode host interface.

VC3 (VIPCLK) is the host port clock, specified from 25-33 MHz. VIPCLK can be from any source.
VC0 and VC1 (HAD[0:1]) is a two wire bus, used to transfer commands, addresses and data between master and
slave devices.
VC2 (HCTL) is a shared control terminal. It is driven by the master to initiate and terminate data transfers. It is driven
by the slave to terminate and add wait states to data transfers. Because it is a shared control signal, special attention
must be given to its generation to avoid bus conflicts.
INTREQ is a nominally open drain terminal used to signal interrupts to the host controller. This terminal may be
configured as a conventional CMOS I/O buffer (non-open drain) if desired using the interrupt configuration register
at subaddress C2. Contention is possible if multiple devices are connected to the INTREQ signal and it is configured
in non-open drain mode.
Upon power up, the VIP module outputs remain in the high impedance state until a request from the motherboard
signals the module to begin driving the bus.
