Parade offers MIPI DSI to eDP video format converters

SAN JOSE, USA: Parade Technologies Ltd, a leading video display and interface IC supplier, announced new additions to the company's video protocol converter product line.

Two new devices, the PS8642 and PS8640, provide conversion from MIPI DSI to eDP, both of which are popular embedded video interfaces standards commonly used within portable computing devices. These video converter devices enable a MIPI DSI video source, including many SoC devices, to drive an eDP-enabled display panel.

The PS8642 and PS8640 are low power MIPI-to-eDP bridge devices optimized for mobile devices with greater-than-FHD high-resolutions displays. The PS8642 accepts two channels of MIPI DSI v1.1, with up to four lanes per channel and a transmission rate up to 1.5Gbit/sec per lane.

The device outputs eDP v1.4, up to four lanes with a link rate of up to 3.24Gbit/sec per lane, supporting panel resolutions up to 2560x1600. The PS8640 accepts one channel of MIPI DSI v1.1, up to four lanes at 1.5Gbit/sec per lane, and outputs eDP v1.4 up to two lanes at 3.24Gbit/sec per lane, supporting panel resolutions up to 2048x1536.
