发明名称 Multi-protocol combined receiver for receiving and processing data of multiple protocols
摘要 A receiver circuit configured to operate in a DisplayPort (DP) mode and a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) mode. The receiver circuit includes: termination circuitry configured to receive a DP signal in the DP mode and an HDMI signal in the HDMI mode; and voltage common-mode (VCM) level shifter circuitry configured to operate as a pass-through for the DP signal in the DP mode and generate a converted HDMI signal from the HDMI signal in the HDMI mode.
