DisplayPort 2.x Receiver IP

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s DisplayPort 2.x Receiver IP is a silicon-proven, high-performance solution built to support next-generation display and video applications across consumer electronics, computing, and embedded systems. Fully compliant with VESA DisplayPort 2.0 and 2.1 specifications, it supports ultra-high bandwidth, multi-stream transport (MST), and enhanced video resolutions, including 8K and beyond, while ensuring robust data integrity and low latency.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. Its advanced feature set includes support for Display Stream Compression (DSC), Forward Error Correction (FEC), and Adaptive Sync, making it an ideal choice for high-resolution, high-refresh-rate display applications.

Benefits

Next-Gen Standards Compliance – Supports full receiver functionality as per VESA DisplayPort 2.0 and 2.1 specifications, including Main Link, AUX Channel, and Hot Plug Detect (HPD)
Ultra-High Bandwidth Readiness – Supports all UHBR rates: UHBR10, UHBR13.5, and UHBR20 with dynamic lane configurations (1, 2, or 4 lanes) and parallel data widths of 10, 20, 40, or 80 bits
Flexible Video Interface – Accommodates 1, 2, 4, or 8 pixels per clock with support for interlaced and progressive video streams across various formats
Comprehensive Format Support – Processes RGB, YCbCr (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0), Y-only, and RAW video formats with up to 48 bits per pixel
Full Secondary Data Packet Handling – Supports Audio Stream, Audio Timestamp, VSC, InfoFrames, Camera SDP, PPS, ISRC, Adaptive Sync, and all other SDP formats
Advanced Protocol Features – Includes Main Stream Attribute (MSA) packet handling, Enhanced and Default Framing Modes, nibble interleaving (ECC), TPS2–TPS4 training patterns, and Horizontal Blanking Expansion
Efficient and Adaptive Integration – Supports SST and MST modes with Split SDP, I2C-over-AUX with EDID, and DPCD register access
Secure Content Ready – Compatible with HDCP 2.3 for encrypted content streams, supporting both full authentication and bypass modes
