TI Korea (CEO Kent Chon, www.ti.com/ww/kr) December 9, 2013 – TI Korea announced the launch of a new interface IC that provides a MIPI® DSI bridge between a graphics processor and an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) panel. The new SN65DSI86 supports interface to 4K2Kp60 panels, which is the highest resolution for tablets, clamshell notebooks and all-in-one PCs. Additionally, it provides 30% higher bandwidth compared to competing products with a 1.5Gbps DSI data transfer rate. Furthermore, dual MIPI DSI channels are integrated into a 20% smaller 5mm x 5mm package, saving PCB space and providing greater design flexibility for space-constrained mobile applications.

The SN65DSI86 demo can be viewed at the 'TI Village' in the North Hall meeting room at CES 2014 to be held next year.

Key Features and Advantages of SN65DSI86
• Optimized MIPI DSI and eDP connection: Supports up to 4K2K (4096 x 2160p, 60fps, 18bpp) and WUXGA 3D (1920 x 1200, 120fps, 24bpp, Even/Odd and Left/Right support) LCD panels, providing flexibility to support various panels and resolutions.
• High DSI frequency/bandwidth: Provides maximum input bandwidth of 12Gbps with 4 MIPI DSI lanes in dual channels supporting 1.5Gbps, delivering the highest data throughput performance compared to competing solutions. Compatible with eDP version 1.4, supporting seven different data transfer rates up to maximum 5.4Gbps HBR2, enabling system designers to reduce wires and board traces used between the device and LCD panel.
• Ultra-low power: Enables extended system battery life with active power consumption below 200mW, standby power of 30mW, and shutdown power consumption of 3mW.
• Improved signal integrity performance: A combination of receive equalization, optional transmit de-emphasis and output swing enables flexible component placement and allows longer traces between the graphics processor and SN65DSI86 as well as longer cables from SN65DSI86 to the LCD panel.

The SN65DSI86 works with the SN75DP130 DisplayPort re-driver and belongs to a pin-compatible product family of MIPI DSI bridge chips, allowing designers to select the appropriate bridge for their required resolution. These products extend TI's well-known FlatLink serial interface portfolio, which can reduce the number of signal lines in a synchronous parallel data bus without loss of data throughput.

TI's display interface portfolio can be applied to display panels of all shapes and sizes. FlatLink interface ICs are devices for small display mobile devices and products, while FPD-Link SerDes chipsets support long and robust links within automotive applications.
