SN65DP159: questions about I2C over AUX

Part Number: SN65DP159


Hi team,

Could you please help to answer some questions about DP159?

1. How DP159 chooses termination impedance when TX_TERM_CTL floating?

 

2. Is there any difference between DP and eDP when using I2C over AUX?

3. When using I2C over AUX, what is the priority between DDC's H/W and AUX when both of them connected to GPU at the same time?

Best Regards,

Cindy

    1. The TX_TERM_SEL selection is based on the data rate.

    Data rate (DR) > 3.4 Gbps – 75- to 150-Ω differential near end termination

    2 Gbps < DR < 3.4 Gbps – 150- to 300-Ω differential near end termination

    DR < 2 Gbps – no termination

    2. The I2C over AUX is supported by the DP++ source, not DP or eDP. If you need to convert from DP or eDP to HDMI, then you would need an active protocol converter, not a passive level shifter like the DP159.

    3. It depends on the GPU. By default GPU must support DDC while some GPU has the option of supporting I2C over AUX.

    Thanks
