The VESA-approved digital display interface, DisplayPort, is a state-of-the-art digital audio /
video interconnect intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor or
a home-theater system. NXP’s simple interfacing solution with embedded ESD protection allows
you to connect a multi-standard source using a DisplayPort connector directly to a DVI or
HDMI interface.

Our DisplayPort-to-DVI / HDMI system solution bridges
the worlds between different display standards, connecting
DisplayPort devices to DVI / HDMI displays. As well as
integrated level shifting, this simple dongle design embeds
full ESD protection according to IEC 61000-4-2 level 4
(8 kV contact).
The solution supports the new high-speed graphics chipsets
from Intel, AMD/ATI, nVidia and others. It provides
electrical-level translation from PCIe and DisplayPort signals
to the current-mode outputs required to drive DVI and
HDMI displays.
