GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADV7623 is a high performance, four-input, one-output, 
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) transceiver 
that integrates HDMI receiver and transmitter functions with 
digital audio I/Os onto one chip. It supports all HDCP repeater 
functions through fully tested Analog Devices, Inc., repeater 
software libraries and drivers. 
The ADV7623 incorporates Xpressview™ fast switching on all 
input HDMI ports. Using an Analog Devices hardware-based 
HDCP engine that minimizes software overhead, Xpressview 
technology allows fast switching between any HDMI input 
ports in less than 1 second. 
The ADV7623 supports all mandatory HDMI 3D TV formats in 
addition to all HDTV formats up to 1080p 36-bit Deep Color. The 
ADV7623 also features an integrated HDMI CEC controller that 
supports capability, discovery, and control (CDC). 
The ADV7623 has an integrated on-screen display (OSD) feature 
that allows generation and control of high quality character- and 
icon-based system status and control displays. Customers interested 
in using OSD are provided with Analog Devices OSD SDK. 
The ADV7623 offers a dedicated flexible audio output port and 
a dedicated audio input port to allow for easy extraction and 
insertion of audio data into and out of the HDMI stream. HDMI 
audio formats, including SACD via DSD and compressed high 
bit rate audio via HBR, are supported. The ADV7623 also features 
an audio return channel (ARC) receiver. ARC simplifies cabling 
by combining upstream audio capability in a conventional 
HDMI cable. 
Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the ADV7623 is 
provided in a 144-lead, 20 mm × 20 mm, Pb-free LQFP and is 
specified over the 0°C to 70°C temperature range.
