DisplayPort
Integrates MAC IP to a broad range of PHY and SerDes IP
Overview
DisplayPort (DP) is a proprietary digital display interface developed by a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers and standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor. It can also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data.
XtremeSilica DisplayPort IP solutions accelerate the development of advanced SoCs for high-resolution video applications. The digital controllers, PHYs, security IP, verification IP, and IP subsystems help designers build VESA compliant products, including products incorporating USB Type-C connectivity. In addition, XtremeSilica comprehensive, fully integrated subsystem solution lowers integration risk, helps projects tape out on schedule and supports first-silicon success for improved time-to-market.
Features
- DisplayPort cables have a unique connector with 20 or more pins and are available in different lengths to accommodate different distances between the source device and the display device.
- DisplayPort cables are commonly used in computer systems and can support resolutions up to 8K, high refresh rates and HDR content.
- DisplayPort can also be used to daisy-chain multiple display devices, allowing for a multi-monitor setup without the need for multiple cables.
- DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features.
- DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.
- DisplayPort can provide power to attached devices.
