INAP395R

APIX2 Multichannel SerDes with 3 Gbps and HDCP support

The INAP395R is an APIX2 receiver device supporting the reception of copyright protected digital entertainment content. The device incorporates the decryption mechanisms as well as the required keys to receive HDCP 1.4 encoded video and audio content over the APIX2 link. APIX2 is a DC-balanced, AC coupled low latency, point-to-point link over shielded twisted pair (STP) copper cables. Its scalable physical layer provides bandwidth from 500 Mbps of up to 3 Gbps at lowest EMI. The INAP395R offers a flexible video interface, optimized for TFT panels or graphic processing SoCs, with input interfaces such as parallel RGB or OpenLDI LVDS. Software adjustable driver characteristics, selectable interfaces and configurable operating modes allow maximum transmission distances of up to 12m @ 3Gbps. In addition to the video transmission, the INAP395R allows completely independent full duplex communication channels. Using the internal AShell protocol, data transfers such as panel control or touch control information are protected by error detection and retransmission mechanisms.

The INAP395R offers various interfaces to directly drive and connect to graphic display- or touch controllers. Besides an I²C compliant interface, the link is optimized to carry low latency GPIO signals for reset or hardware signal switching. Various data integrity features like CRC on video data, monitoring of control signals support secure data transfer over the APIX2 link. The device is offered in a 100 pin LQFP package, and qualified according to the
AEC-Q100 automotive standards.
