Add HDMI 1.4 phy to your SoC design faster using ready IP from Synopsys

Are you designing a 28nm SoC class semiconductor chip, which needs HDMI 1.4 Phy, The readymade IP from Synopsys called DesignWare HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 1.4 PHY IP in 28-nanometer (nm) processes is available.

The DesignWare HDMI 1.4 IP feature configurable TX (Trasmitter) and RX (Receiver) controllers, and the mixed-signal PHY hard macro for analog front-end supports category 2-certified HDMI cables up to 20 foot in length. Synopsys' HDMI IP supports all major 3D and 4K resolution modes with a bandwidth of up to 3.4 Gbps. Baseline software drivers are included to ease integration into the full SoC. The DesignWare HDMI 1.4 IP solution is fully compliant with both the HDMI and High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) specifications and has received certification from HDMI authorized testing centers.

Synopsys said its immediately available DesignWare HDMI 1.4 IP is available for multiple 28-nanometer processes such as TSMC and GlobalFoundries to ensure silicon-proven IP.

Amimon is one of the disclosed user of Synopsys HDMI IP.
