Overview

The DP/eDP IP is designed for transmitting or receiving video and audio signals between the video source devices and display devices. It is fully compliant with DP1.4 and eDP1.4 specifications. The IP provides both PHY and controller solutions, offering a reliable implementation for DisplayPort and embedded DisplayPort interfaces that can be seamlessly integrated in the SoCs used in multimedia devices.

The eDP/DP TX IP transmits video, audio, and auxiliary data from a video source device to a display device. It consists of a digital controller and a physical layer. The digital controller processes the input video and audio data and outputs encoded data to the physical layer. The physical layer includes the main link, the AUX channel, a PLL, and a bias circuit, which convert the parallel data to a serial stream.

The eDP/DP RX IP receives and recovers video and audio data from a DP/eDP source device. It also comprises a physical layer and a digital controller. The physical layer converts the received serial stream to parallel data and outputs it to the digital controller. The digital controller decodes the parallel data and recovers the video and audio information.

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.
