1. Description

The LT8711UXE1 is a high performance Type-C/DP1.2 to HD-DVI2.0 converter, designed to connect a USB Type-C source or a DP1.2 source to an HD-DVI2.0 sink. The LT8711UXE1 integrates a DP1.2 compliant receiver, and an HD-DVI2.0 compliant transmitter. Also, two CC controllers are included for CC communication to implement DP Alt Mode and power delivery function, one for upstream Type-C port and another for downstream port.
The DP interface comprises 4 main lanes, AUX channel, and HPD signal. The receiver supports maximum 5.4Gbps data rate per lane. The DP receiver incorporates HDCP1.3/2.3 content protection scheme with embedded key for secure transmission of digital audio-video content.
The HD-DVI interface includes 4 TMDS clock/data pairs, DDC, and HPD signal. The HD-DVI transmitter is capable of supporting up to 6Gpbs data rate, quite adequate for handling video resolutions up to UHD 4k 60Hz formats. The HD-DVI transmitter incorporates HDCP engines which support HDCP1.4/2.3. With the inclusion of HDCP, the LT8711UXE1 allows secure transmission of protected content. Embedded key is available that provides the highest level of HDCP key security.
Besides digital video output interface, the LT8711UXE1 also provides digital audio output interfaces: I2S and SPDIF. The audio stream is extracted and recovered from DP data stream, and then routed to digital audio outputs or HD-DVI output. The device supports 8-channel LPCM or compressed audio at maximum 192kHz sample rate.
The device is capable of automatic operation which is enabled by an integrated microprocessor that uses an embedded SPI flash for firmware storage. System control is also available through the use of a dedicated configuration I2C slave interface.
