NXP Semiconductors has launched a single-chip DisplayPort to VGA adapter IC with embedded flash, delivering a cost-effective, production-ready solution that improves the multimedia experience for mobile PC users. Based on its extensive DisplayPort portfolio, NXP and leading IC distributor, World Peace Industrial Group (WPI), also announced that NXP’s DisplayPort to HDMI technology has been selected by a major ODM for its global notebook customers, enhancing mobile high definition content. NXP will demonstrate the integrated DisplayPort to VGA solution at the Computex Taipei 2009, which will be held next week.
DisplayPort is a fast growing high-bandwidth, plug-and-play digital interconnect for high-resolution digital monitors. With the introduction of DisplayPort technology, computer manufacturers can connect new DisplayPort-equipped laptop and desktop computers to existing displays. NXP provides an extensive family of DisplayPort legacy support devices, including DisplayPort to DVI and to HDMI. With the introduction of PTN3392, NXP is now expanding support of DisplayPort to the VGA market.
The PTN3392 integrates a DisplayPort receiver and a high-speed triple video DAC, supporting display resolutions from VGA up to WUXGA. PTN3392 greatly reduces the complexity and bill of materials needed to complete a DP to VGA adapter. PTN3392 is typically powered from the DP connector and requires no additional voltage regulators to operate: all internal voltages and power is integrated on-chip from just the DP connector’s single 3.3V power supply. The PTN3392 supports up to two DisplayPort lanes operating at either 2.7Gbps or 1.62Gbps per lane, and can drive up to 1m of analog video cable at full performance.
