Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) Transmitter IP is a high-performance solution designed for next-generation display applications in mobile, automotive, and embedded systems. It supports VESA Embedded DisplayPort specifications including eDP v1.3, v1.4, v1.4a, and v1.5, enabling high-bandwidth video and audio transmission with support for advanced features such as Panel Self Refresh (PSR), Display Stream Compression (DSC) as per VESA DSC v1.2, and full AUX Channel management.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. Its streamlined architecture allows seamless integration into SoCs, display controllers, or GPU pipelines, ensuring reliable and efficient interface connectivity to embedded display panels.
