IT6569
4 Lane DP1.4 to HDMI2.1 Converter with Embedded MCU

General Description

The IT6569FN is a high-performance single-chip DisplayPort to HDMI converter. Combined with a DisplayPort receiver and HDMI transmitter, the IT6569FN supports DisplayPort input and HDMI output by conversion function.

The built-in DisplayPort receiver is fully compatible with DisplayPort 1.4a and HDCP 1.3/2.3 specifications. With 4-Lane HBR3 (High-Bit-Rate 3) configuration and DSC 1.2a, the DP receiver can support VESA resolution up to WUXGA (1920��1200 @ 240Hz) or WQXGA (2560��1600 RB @ 240Hz), and CEA resolution up to 4K��2K 444 @ 120Hz, 8K��4K 444 @ 30Hz, or 8K��4K 420 @ 60Hz. It also supports MCCS and CEC tunneling over the AUX channel.

The built-in HDMI transmitter is a high-performance HDMI 2.1 transmitter, fully compliant with HDMI 2.1a, HDCP 1.4/2.3 and backward compatible with DVI 1.0 specifications. It supports color depth up to 36 bits (12 bits/color) and ensures robust transmission of high-quality uncompressed video content. It also supports 8-channel digital audio, with sampling rate up to 192kHz and sample size up to 24 bits, and HBR audio.

With embedded MCU and Flash, IT6569FN is easy to program ??no external Flash or MCU is required, reducing BOM cost and board size. Each IT6569FN comes pre-programmed with a unique HDCP key compliant with HDCP 1.3/2.3 and HDCP 1.4/2.3, so users do not need to purchase any HDCP keys or ROMs.

High-Performance DP1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Conversion for 8K and High-Refresh-Rate Displays

As high-resolution, multi-display, and high-frame-rate applications continue to grow, system designers face increasing demands for reliable DP-to-HDMI conversion. Achieving high bandwidth, low latency, stable output, and easy system integration has become essential across PCs, docking stations, monitors, and embedded platforms.

ITE Tech. Inc. presents the IT6569??a highly integrated DisplayPort-to-HDMI converter combining DP1.4 RX and HDMI 2.1 TX, designed to support next-generation display formats including 8K, 4K240, and 4K120.

DP 1.4a with 4-Lane HBR3 Input for High-Bandwidth Video Reception

The IT6569 supports DP 1.4a input at up to 8.1Gbps �� 4 lanes (HBR3) and incorporates a DSC 1.2a decoder to efficiently handle ultra-high-resolution video streams.

Supported resolutions:

4K 240Hz 4:4:4 (with DSC)   4K 120Hz 4:4:4 (FRL)   8K 30Hz 4:4:4 (FRL)   8K 60Hz 4:2:0 (FRL)

HDMI 2.1a Output ??High Compatibility and Stable Image Quality

The HDMI TX supports both FRL and TMDS modes and complies with HDMI 2.1a / HDCP 1.4 / HDCP 2.3 / DVI 1.0.

  • Up to 12Gbps FRL mode
  • Support for 36-bit deep color
  • Full backward compatibility with earlier HDMI and DVI displays

Comprehensive Audio Format Support: From LPCM to High-Bit-Rate Audio

  • 8-channel LPCM (32??92kHz / 16??4 bits)
  • Up to 768kHz HBR audio in DP-to-HDMI pass-through mode
  • Audio extraction via I��S / SPDIF

VRR Support for Tear-Free, Low-Latency Visual Performance

The IT6569 converts DisplayPort Adaptive Sync into HDMI 2.1 Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), enabling tear-free motion, lower latency, and smooth dynamic refresh-rate transitions. Ideal for gaming monitors, docking stations, and high-speed visualization equipment.

Highly Integrated Architecture with Built-In MCU, Flash, and InfoBlock

To simplify system design, the IT6569 integrates an internal MCU, on-chip Flash memory, an InfoBlock communication interface, and twelve GPIO pins. No external MCU, Flash, or HDCP ROM is required ?? reducing BOM cost, PCB area, and development complexity. HDCP keys are pre-programmed per device for faster compliance and easier mass-production integration.
