Overview

The HDMI 2.1 TX Controller and PHY IP solutions, compliant with the HDMI 2.1 specification, provide the necessary logic to implement and verify designs for various HDMI-based applications. The IP provides quality digital video and audio transmission with up to 48Gbps aggregate bandwidth for uncompressed 8K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate. It supports key features of HDMI 2.1 including dynamic HDR and enhanced audio return channel (eARC), ensuring higher frame-by-frame video quality and most advanced audio formats.

The power- and area-optimized HDMI 2.1 IP solutions encompass a suite of configurable digital controllers, High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) embedded security modules (ESMs), high-speed mixed-signal PHYs, PLL, verification IP, IP Prototyping Kits, Linux software drivers, and IP subsystems. The highly efficient HDCP 2.3 on HDMI ESMs are designed to protect premium audio-visual content against unauthorized copying, interception, and tampering while meeting stringent security specification requirements.

Having all necessary design blocks for the HDMI subsystem, the IP solution enables system-on-chip (SoC) designers to lower integration risk and accelerate time-to-market.
