DescriptionSTDP4028
1 Description
The STDP4028 is a DisplayPort transmitter IC for the secure transmission of highbandwidth, uncompressed digital audio-video signals targeted for applications such as DTV,
LCD monitor, docking station, and other types of display systems. STDP4028 is a VESA DP
1.1a and eDP compliant device, implementing a single link DisplayPort output port
comprising four main lanes, auxiliary channel and HPD. In addition to the standard HBR (2.7
Gbps) and RBR (1.62 Gbps) speeds, this device supports “turbo” speed of 3.24 Gbps per
lane with a total link bandwidth of 12.96 Gbps. The higher bandwidth provides unique
benefits to users over other commercial DP transmitters for embedded applications by
offering additional margin to support higher color depth, resolution, and refresh rate. For
example, STDP4028 supports FHD non-reduced blanking video (1080p 30-bit color per
pixel) at 120 Hz, plus 7.1 Ch audio in two-box TV applications. The high-speed auxiliary
channel in STDP4028 acts as a bidirectional communication link, supporting applicationspecific protocols such as MCCS, DDC, UART, IR, as well as, the dedicated DisplayPort link
training and device management functions.
The STDP4028 supports RGB and YCC video color formats with color depth of 12 (YCC
4:2:2 only), 10, and 8 bits. This device offers LVDS and LVTTL input interface configurable to
map a wide range of display controller products. The Quad LVDS interface supports video
signals up to 400 MHz pixel rate with flexible channel and lane swapping options. The 60-bit
LVTTL input ports on STDP4028 can be mapped to transfer video data either in two pixels
per clock or single pixel per clock of a chosen color depth. The STDP4028 also supports
both compressed and uncompressed audio formats. This device comprises four I2S audio
inputs, supporting up to 8 channels LPCM audio and a single wire SPDIF input for encoded
audio. The STDP4028 features HDCP 1.3 content protection scheme with an embedded key
option for secure transmission of digital audio-video content. In addition, it supports the
HDCP repeater function and, thus acts as a downstream transmitter suitable for two-box TV
and HDMI/DVI to DP converter applications.
The STDP4028 can be configured by an external host through the I2C host interface. This
IC also includes general purpose inputs/outputs that can be used for controlling system
components. The STDP4028 features a color space converter (RGB to YCC and YCC to
RGB) for flexible interface with external video processing devices.
