DisplayPort (DP) 1.4a / Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.4a TX PHY

The DP/eDP Combo TX PHY IP is compliant to the DisplayPort v1.4a and embedded DisplayPort v1.4a.

Overview

The DP/eDP Combo TX PHY IP is compliant to the DisplayPort v1.4a and embedded DisplayPort v1.4a. It consists of configurable numbers of (1, 2, or 4) main link channels and one AUX channel. It supports main link speed rates from RBR  (1.62Gbps) to HBR3 (8.1Gbps), and 1Mbps Manchester II coding for the AUX channel.

The IP targets the growing broad adoption of digital display technology within the PC and CE industries. It consolidates internal and external connection methods to reduce device complexity, supports necessary features for key-cross industry applications, and offers scalable performance, enabling next-generation displays with larger color depths, refresh rates, and resolutions.

Key features

  • Compliant to DP v1.4a and eDP v1.4a
  • Consists of four main link channels, one AUX channel, and one clock multiplier PLL
  • Supports 1, 2, or 4 lanes at 1.62 Gbps (RBR), 2.7Gbps (HBR), 5.4 Gbps (HBR2), and 8.1 Gbps (HBR3) for DP

VESA Adaptive-Sync V2 Operation in DisplayPort VIP

In a computer system, both the GPU as well as the monitor have a certain rate at which they render or update an image, respectively. The rate is nothing but the frequency at which the image is refreshed (updated in the image it shows/displays), usually expressed in hertz, and can vary based on the content displayed on the screen.

DisplayPort 2025: Navigating the Next Wave of Display Innovation

This article breaks down the latest DisplayPort trends, the key technological shifts driving the protocol forward, and the strategic challenges implementers need to navigate — especially as DisplayPort IP finds its way into increasingly safety-critical domains.

Audio Transport in DisplayPort VIP

DisplayPort uses Secondary Data Packets (SDPs), which are transported over the Main-Link that are not main video stream data. This allows it to carry audio and video simultaneously. The VIP supports audio transmission both in the original mode as defined in the specification as well as just as any other SDP being transmitted.
