HDMI 1.4 Tx PHY & Controller IP, Silicon Proven in UMC 40SP

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 HDMI Rx IP's performance, functionality, and efficiency will be at their peak when connected to the HDMI Transmitter PHY IP. There are several HDMI Tx IP setups available.
