Abstract
An integrated circuit for graphics processing that includes a configurable display interface includes video graphics circuitry, a data encoder, transmission circuitry and configuration registers. The video graphics circuitry produces video data that is formatted to drive a display. The data encoder is operably coupled to the video graphics circuitry and encodes the digital video data to produce transmission data. The transmission data is then provided to the transmission circuitry operably coupled to the data encoder. The transmission circuitry combines the transmission data with control information that is retrieved from registers included in the integrated circuit. The transmission circuitry transmits the transmission data over a plurality of differential signals, where the swing amplitude of the differential signals is configured using additional registers included in the integrated circuit.
