7. Interfaces and Capability

7.1 DisplayPortTM Input
TM
As a standard DisplayPort receiver, RTD2166 consists of two-lane Main Link differential pair, one AUX
channel differential pair, and one HPD signal.

1- Main Link
Two lanes differential pair capable of operating HBR (2.7-Gbps) and RBR (1.62-Gbps) data rates for
TM
high definition uncompressed video transmission. The main link is fully compliant with the DisplayPort
v1.3 specification.
2- AUX Channel

A differential half-duplex bi-directional channel used for side-band communication between the
TM
DisplayPort source and sink devices. The bandwidth of this link is up to 1-Mbps.

3- Hot Plug Detect (HPD)

TM
The HPD signal is fully compliant with the DisplayPort v1.3. This includes all input voltage
requirements and generation of hot plug and IRQ_HPD events.

7.2 Analog VGA output

RTD2166 integrates triple 8bit-210MHz-DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converters), with each DAC assigned for each
color, R (red), G (green), and B (blue). The Analog VGA interface of RTD2166 is compliant with the VESA VSIS v1r2.
Real-time Hot plug detection mechanism is also integrated into RTD2166.

The most popular video formats supported by RTD2166 are shown in the following Table 2. However the
formats supported by RTD2166 are not limited to this table. Those formats with (a) the data transmission bandwidth
TM
lower than the maximal bandwidth of 2-lane DisplayPort HBR main-link and (b) the pixel frequency slower than the
maximal DAC speed 210-MHz can also be supported by RTD2166.

8.5. Power Consumption

Different applications would result in different power consumptions of RTD2166. For example, whether to the
embedded LDO, whether to adopt the embedded oscillator, and how fast of the video clock frequency are all
definitely the key factors of the power consumption of RTD2166. The following tables show the reference power
consumption of RTD2166 in several different application conditions
