Overview

SmartDV’s DisplayPort 1.x Receiver IP is a fully featured DisplayPort receiver solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring reliable, standards-compliant display video reception across consumer electronics, industrial display, and embedded monitor applications. Fully compliant with DisplayPort 1.4a, it delivers complete Sink-side receiver functionality supporting Main Link, AUX Channel, and Hot Plug Detect, with all standard DisplayPort link rates and comprehensive Secondary Data Packet support for audio and metadata transport.

Designed for the practical integration requirements of modern display subsystem designs, the IP supports RBR, HBR, HBR2, and HBR3 link rates, AUX Channel access to DPCD and I2C-over-AUX for EDID and EEPROM reading, Main Stream Attribute packet decoding, and both Default and Enhanced framing modes. Its support for VESA DSC-compressed video streams, HDCP content protection compatibility, and full and fast link training give display SoC teams a production-ready DisplayPort receiver suited for a wide range of display panel and source device configurations.

Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its parameterized lane and link rate architecture and clean host interface enable fast integration across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
