GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PS171 is a new generation DisplayPort™ to HDMI™/DVI converter that receives both video and audio streams from an upstream DisplayPort Source link and converts to an HDMI or DVI output. The HDMI transmitter is compliant to the HDMI 1.4b specification and supports video formats using TMDS clock rates up to 300MHz (3.0Gbps TMDS data rate).
 
The PS171 supports DisplayPort branch functions for active protocol conversion, namely DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DVI. The PS171 provides anonymous, automatic operation that is enabled by an integrated microprocessor that uses an external SPI ROM for configuration and microcode.  The SPI ROM can be field updated through the AUX channel or device I2C port. System control is available through the use of a dedicated I2C slave input, and an I2C master interface is available for external EDID and expansion functions.

The PS171 fully supports HDCP content protection, including the HDCP repeater function, with integrated HDCP Rx & Tx keys.
