IT6152: Dual-port MIPI to DisplayPort 1.4 Converter with Embedded MCU
The IT6152 is a high-performance and low-power dual-port MIPI to DisplayPort converter. With two MIPI receivers and one DisplayPort transmitter, the IT6152 converts dual or single port MIPI input to single DisplayPort output. Each MIPI input can operate in 1/2/4-lane mode. Lane-swap and PN-swap are separately available for flexible circuit layout.
The built-in MIPI receivers are D-PHY 2.0 and DSI-2 ver. 2.0 compatible, capable of supporting up to 2.5 Gbps/Lane and 20 Gbps bandwidth in dual-input mode. The IT6152 supports MIPI DSI streams such as packed-pixel-stream: RGB in 16/18/24/30/36-bit, YCbCr422 in 16/20/24-bit, YCbCr420 in 12-bit, and loosely-packed-pixel-stream: RGB in 18-bit, YCbCr422 in 20-bit. Both sync pulse or sync event packets can be received with HSync and VSync generated as original or by firmware setting. The RX/TX deep color capability (up to 36-bit) ensures robust reception of high-quality uncompressed or compressed video content.
The integrated high-performance DisplayPort transmitter is fully compliant with DisplayPort 1.4a and HDCP 1.3 /2.3 specifications. Color space conversion and dithering capability are equipped for format conversion and enhancement.
The IT6152 supports VRR function as well, so that VRR feature can be implemented in the system.
Aside from the various video features, the IT6152 also provides up to 8 channels of I2S digital audio inputs, with sampling rate of up to 192 kHz and sampling size of up to 24 bits, facilitating direct connection to industry-standard low-cost audio. Optionally, an S/PDIF input is available to support compressed audio of up to 192 kHz frame rate. Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) is also supported with up to 8 channels and 88.2 kHz through optional DSD (Direct Stream Digital) inputs. The High-Bit Rate (HBR) audio can be supported by the IT6152 in two interfaces at up to 765 kHz with the four I2S input ports or the S/PDIF input port. The selected audio content is inserted and transmitted in the DisplayPort stream to downstream sinks.
With embedded MCU and Flash, IT6152 is easy to program through the ISP interface via PCSCL/PCSDA. Customers need no external Flash or MCU, saving BOM cost and board size.
Each IT6152 comes pre-programmed with unique HDCP keys, in compliance with the HDCP standard so as to provide secure transmission of high-definition content with DP interface.
The IT6152 is applicable to systems with external display such as DisplayPort monitor or internal display like eDP panels.
