IDT’s PanelPort receivers simplify DisplayPort interfacing while lowering system costs. DisplayPort uses up to four high-speed serial pairs with a capacity up to 10.8 Gbits/s, including audio and a 1-Mbit/s auxiliary channel. The VPP1600EMG DisplayPort V1.1-compliant receiver has an adaptive equalizer for a direct-drive monitor. It also supports digital brightness and contrast control. Furthermore, it incorporates a mini-LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) and reduced-swing differential signal (RSDS) transmitter. Pricing for the 100-pin thin quad flat pack (TQFP) package starts under $5. See associated figure www.idt.com
