DisplayPort IP Core

DisplayPort TX and RX IP for Low Power FPGAs

The Lattice DisplayPort IP Core® is designed for transmission and reception of serial-digital video for consumer and professional displays. This IP helps users to implement a DisplayPort video interface as defined by VESA DisplayPort specifications. DisplayPort is a high-speed serial interface standard supported by industry leaders in consumer electronics HDTV, PC laptop, and PC monitors. This protocol is considered as a successor to VGA and DVI standards with support for video resolutions up to 4K video and multi-channel audio.

DisplayPort IP Core supports Lattice Nexus Series FPGAs and later versions of Lattice FPGA family.

Resource Utilization details are available in the IP Core User Guide.

Features

  • DisplayPort Version 1.4
  • Selectable Transmit/Receive modes: Tx only, Rx only, and both Tx and Rx
  • Dynamic lane rates of 1.62, 2.70, and 5.40 Gbps
  • Dynamic one, two and four lanes support
  • Parameterized pixels per clock (PPC)- 1,2, and 4

Resource Utilization

Below tables show configuration and resource utilization for LFCPNX-100-9LFG672C run on Lattice Radiant Software 2022.1 using Synplify Pro.

All the configurations listed in the resource utilization tables use these parameters: SST mode, AXI-Stream interface, 4 lanes, and 5.4 Gbps data rate per lane. There is little or no change to the resource numbers when using a data rate of 2.7 Gbps or 8.1 Gbps per lane
