Description

The STDP93x0, STDP9210, and STDP73x0 (i.e. Athena) ICs are a series of innovative

System-on-Chip (SoC) controllers designed for multifunctional monitors with a maximum

resolution of up to 2560 x 1600 (STDP93x0), 1920 x 1200 (STDP73x0), and 120 Hz FHD

(STDP9210).

The Athena chips are the first ICs to combine a DP 1.2 receiver/transmitter, HDMI 1.4

receiver, and dual DVI receiver to support 3D video source from graphics cards and Blu-rays

for full HD 120 Hz display. The Athena ICs can capture a maximum of 4096 pixels by 2160

lines. This can be either bypassed unchanged or scaled down to a maximum of 2560 x 1600

or 2048 x 2160 (STDP93x0) or 1920 x 1200 (STDP73x0) or 120 Hz FHD (STDP92x0). Two

types of output ports (i.e. LVDS and DP) deliver unparalleled image quality and supports

display resolutions of up to WQXGA, WUXGA, and FHD as well. Both outputs

simultaneously output the scaled video, or the bypassed captured input video. Alternately,

the DisplayPort transmitters may be programmed to drive a multi-stream display.

The Athena SoCs allow for a flexible LCD/notebook panel interface by providing high-speed

dual (STDP73x0) and quad (STDP93x0/STDP9210) LVDS transmitters as well as

iDP/eDP1.2 transmitters. DP 1.2 enables multi-monitor displays (i.e. daisy chain support) in

STDP9320 and STDP7320 by providing multiple streams through a signal cable connection.

The DisplayPort receiver in the Athena chips is in compliance with the VESA Mobility

DisplayPort (MyDP) standard. As a MyDP sink, the Athena SoCs can receive 1080P 60 Hz

video and audio from a MyDP enabled smartphone and tablet to mirror the mobile video on

a large screen display.
