NXP’s connectivity bridges enable seamless connectivity
and protocol conversion between DisplayPort and legacy
interfaces. As a DP-to-LVDS bridge, the PTN3460 supports
DisplayPort and embedded DisplayPort, and is suitable for
use with any computing platform, including all-in-one PCs and
notebooks. The PTN3460 processes the incoming DP stream,
performs protocol conversion, and then transmits
the processed data stream in LVDS format. It has two
high-speed ports: a Receive port facing the DP source (the
CPU/GPU chipset), and a Transmit port facing the LVDS
receiver (the LVDS controller).

The device receives the DP stream link at a rate of 1.62 or
2.7 Gbps, and supports one- or two-lane operation. It interacts
with the DP source via DP Auxiliary (AUX) channel transactions
for DP link training and set-up. It supports single- or dual-bus
LVDS signaling with color depths of 18 or 24 bits per pixel, and
at a pixel clock frequency of up to 112 MHz.
LVDS data packing can be done in VESA or JEIDA format. Also,
the DP AUX interface transports I2C-over-AUX commands and
supports EDID-DDC communications with the LVDS panel. To
support panels without EDID ROM, the PTN3460 can emulate
EDID ROM behavior and thus avoid specic changes in the
system video BIOS. This also saves on the bill of materials.
Software packages support design-in at the customer factory.
There is a Flash-over-AUX utility for upgrading product
rmware and EDID data, and a Flash-over-DOS mode utility for
updating the EDID data. Designers have access to an extensive
set of documentation, including a datasheet, programmers
guide, and user manual, and can work with NXPs Global
Application Support Team to address design-in issues.
