HDMI 2.0 TX PHY 6Gbps in SMIC (28nm)

Overview

The Synopsys HDMI Transmitter (TX) IP solutions are compliant with the HDMI
2.0 and 1.4 specifications, and provide the necessary logic to implement and verify designs for various consumer electronic applications.
The power- and area-optimized IP solutions are silicon-proven and include a suite of configurable digital controllers and high-speed, mixed-signal PHY IP. Shipping in volume and having gone through extensive in-house and third-party interoperability testing, the IP solutions enable system-on-chip (SoC) designers to lower integration risk and accelerate time-to-market. The IP solutions are HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.3 certified with embedded security modules, ensuring the highest content protection over the HDMI 2.0 interface or ultra-high- definition multimedia SoCs.
Synopsys’ complete HDMI IP solution consists of digital controllers, High- Bandwidth Digital Content (HDCP) embedded security modules (ESMs), PHYs and verification IP as well as IP Prototyping Kits with associated software and drivers.
