DisplayPort 1.x Receiver IP

Design IP

Overview

DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard for high-definition video and audio signals between computers, monitors, and other display devices. DisplayPort 1.4 Receiver enables reception of high-resolution audio and video data to support features like 8K video, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and multi-streaming, enhancing the display capabilities of modern devices in compliance with DisplayPort 1.4 standards.

SmartDV offers a complete, scalable, and silicon-proven solution for DisplayPort 1.4 Receiver. SmartDV’s DisplayPort 1.4 Receiver design IP core is highly customizable to optimize design area, power, and performance for both ASIC and FPGA flows, providing flexibility to adapt to specific design requirements.

Benefits
