DisplayPort Transmitter Link Controller

Overview

Our 5th generation DisplayPort Transmitter Link Controller core supports DisplayPort 1.4, 2.0 and embedded DisplayPort 1.4b features, including link rates up to 8.1Gbps, Display Stream Compression (DSC 1.2), multi-stream transport (MST) and more. The base core includes all required link functionality—Main Link, Secondary Channel, and AUX Channel protocols—and supports the HDCP 1.3 and HDCP 2.2 standards for data encryption.

The DisplayPort Transmitter core interfaces use common industry standards for low-complexity integration.
