HDMI 1.4 Tx PHY & Controller IP, Silicon Proven in SMIC 40LL

Overview

IP core for physical layer HDMI transmitters that fully complies with HDMI 1.4 specifications The HDMI transmitter PHY provides an easy-to-implement system LSI solution that supports pixel clocks between 25MHz and 250MHz for consumer devices like DVD player/recorders and camcorders. All of the Fab/Nodes listed below have undergone Silicon Proving: (TSMC, UMC, SMIC, GF, Samsung, ST). The HDMI Transmitter Link IP Core, which supports HDMI 1.4b and operates at 2.25 Gbps, 16-bit deep colour, and 3D compatibility, will be simple to incorporate into the SoC of consumer goods (HD-TV, AV receiver...etc.). The performance, value, and efficacy of the HDMI Rx IP will be at their peak when coupled with the HDMI Transmitter PHY IP. There are several HDMI Tx IP setups available.
