Enabling physical layer stress testing and protocol testing,
this all-in-one solution reduces costs and simplifies laboratory
environments for developers targeting next-generation DisplayPort
specifications
SAN
JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Introspect Technology, leading
manufacturer of test and measurement instruments for high-speed
digital applications, announced today the release of the SV7C-eDP
Embedded DisplayPort Generator. With the arrival of 16K displays and higher refresh rates come
immense challenges for display engineers. The reason is that the
underlying DisplayPort link is expected to operate at 20 Gbps while
tolerating extreme levels of signal attenuation through cables and
printed circuit board channels. It does so by deploying advanced
signal processing and data processing algorithms in both the
physical layer and the protocol layer. These algorithms are
difficult to validate, and this is where the SV7C-eDP Embedded
DisplayPort Generator shines. Integrated into one solution, the
product creates a realistic and seamless, system-like test
methodology, allowing engineers to perform test scenarios into the
physical layer and the protocol layer at the same time. Live
demonstrations of the SV7C-eDP Generator will occur at Display Week
booth #1539 today until Thursday at the McEnery Convention Centre
in downtown San Jose.
The SV7C-eDP Generator represents a unique
approach to testing, which is traditionally based on arbitrary
waveform generators or bit error rate testers. The all-in-one
system provides physical layer test and protocol testing, negating
the need for additional hardware.
The SV7C-eDP Generator represents a unique approach to testing,
which is traditionally based on arbitrary waveform generators or
bit error rate testers. The all-in-one system provides physical
layer test and protocol testing, negating the need for additional
hardware. On the one hand, the protocol layer is a video generator
containing high-bandwidth memory and 8 Gbytes of memory, supporting
up to 4 virtual channels and multi-stream and single-stream
generation meanwhile supporting all power saving features such as
panel self-refresh, panel replay and adaptive sync. Furthermore,
having a separate and accessible physical layer allows receiver
stress testing while playing video, which traditional generators
cannot do. The physical layer includes the following, per lane:
voltage amplitude control,voltage common mode control, jitter
injection, sinusoidal voltage noise injection and per-wire timing
skew. It thus enables obtaining deep insights into voltage and
timing sensitivities for DisplayPort sink devices.
The SV7C-eDP Generator creates traffic for Embedded DisplayPort
and DisplayPort applications and includes a rich feature set:
- Supported Data Rates: up to 26 Gbps with a fully continuous
range of data rates.
- Lane Count: configurable from 1 to 4 lanes (ML1 to ML4) plus
auxiliary channel (AUX).
- Analog Controls: voltage amplitude and common mode voltage,
each per lane.
- Signal Impairments: jitter injection, sinusoidal voltage noise
injection, per-wire timing skew.
- Pattern Generation: full video frame generation with 8 GBytes
of total pattern memory and with nested pattern sequencing.
- Virtual Channels: Supports MST up to four virtual
channels.
This all‐in‐one system enables the simplest bench environment
for physical layer test to full protocol layer validation and is
powered by the award-winning highly versatile and intuitive
Pinetree software, which enables both interactive operation and
full test automation.

Generator and speak to our product and test engineers at Display
Week booth #1539.
