MULTIPLEXED DVI AND DISPLAYPORT TRANSMITTER

摘要

A semiconductor device 100 that can be used to process and transmit data in two dissimilar formats. DVI or DisplayPort (DPortVl) standardized formats are disclosed. This integration, which can be operated in each mode as fully compliant circuit with the specific standard, allows the same video capture 110 and analog circuits 140 to be configured and used for processing of both formats, thereby reducing the number of circuits required as well as the over all size of the integrated solution. Board space is also reduced by using this integrated chip. The use of the same chip in both applications also takes advantage of the manufacturing economy of scale to reduce the cost of the chip to the customer.
