eDisplayPort v1.4 Transmitter Controller IP Core

Overview

This eDisplayPort 1.4 Tx Controller IP Core integrates into any SoC or FPGA development, supporting the eDisplayPort 1.4b specification. It can be implemented in any technology and offers compatibility with various host bus interfaces. The IP core is delivered in Verilog RTL and validated using FPGA technology, including RTL code, test scripts, and a test environment. With high bandwidth and resolution support and compatibility for various host bus interfaces, such as AHB, AHBLite, APB, AXI, and more, it enables the transmission of stunning 8K video at 60Hz with deep color and HDR capabilities. The core's flexibility is evident through its compatibility with different lane configurations, allowing designers to choose the setup that suits their system requirements. It optimizes signal integrity through link training, lane alignment, adaptive equalization, and error detection and correction techniques. The IP core also provides exceptional audio support, facilitating synchronized audio and video streaming in popular formats like LPCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS-HD Master Audio. It integrates HDCP functionality to meet content industry requirements, ensuring secure transmission of encrypted content. The eDisplayPort Transmitter IP Core offers configurability, allowing system designers to customize power management, equalization settings, and audio configurations, enabling optimal integration into various system architectures and applications.
