Product details
Overview
PTN3460BS/F4Y from NXP Semiconductors is an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) to LVDS bridge IC that converts DP v1.2/eDP v1.2 video streams into dual-bus or single-bus LVDS output for driving high-resolution display panels. It supports 1- or 2-lane DP input at 1.62/2.7 Gbit/s, LVDS pixel clock up to 112 MHz, 18/24 bpp color depth, and on-chip EDID ROM emulation - enabling direct integration in notebook and AIO platforms without external timing references or panel-side EDID.
For engineers reviewing the PTN3460BS/F4Y datasheet, PTN3460BS/F4Y pinout, PTN3460BS/F4Y application, or PTN3460BS/F4Y equivalent, key selection considerations include eDP-to-LVDS protocol conversion fidelity, firmware-configurable LVDS bus topology (single/dual), VESA/JEIDA data packing support, programmable LVDS swing and center-spread clocking, and compatibility with system-level DPCD register access via AUX or I2C-bus.
Technical Context
The PTN3460BS/F4Y implements a full DisplayPort receiver with integrated CDR, auto-receive equalization, and native AUX/I2C-over-AUX transaction support for DPCD register access and EDID-DDC communication. Its LVDS transmitter supports configurable RGB data packing (VESA/JEIDA), dual-bus operation up to 1920×1200@60 Hz, and programmable signal swing for channel loss compensation.
System control leverages an embedded microcontroller with on-chip NVM for firmware updates, multi-level configuration pins (CFG1–CFG4), and dual interface options (AUX and I2C-bus) for register programming. Power management includes AUX-command-based low-power mode and dedicated PD_N pin for deep power-down, while HPDRX provides hot-plug detection to the DP source.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar eDP-to-LVDS bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CH7511B-DS | Supports DP 1.1a only; no eDP v1.2 authentication (ASSR/Enhanced Framing); fixed 24 bpp only; no on-chip EDID emulation. | Limited to legacy DP sources and panels requiring external EDID; lacks firmware update capability and LVDS swing control. | Choose CH7511B-DS only for cost-sensitive designs targeting older DP 1.1a sources and simple 24 bpp panels without advanced power management. |
| PS8315-SP | Supports DP 1.2 but no eDP-specific features; requires external 25 MHz crystal; no embedded microcontroller or NVM; no EDID emulation. | Suitable for generic DP-to-LVDS conversion but not optimized for eDP authentication or EDID-less panels; adds BOM complexity with external timing reference. | Select PS8315-SP when interfacing non-eDP DP sources and external EDID EEPROM is acceptable; avoid for eDP-native notebook platforms. |
Compared with CH7511B-DS and PS8315-SP, the PTN3460BS/F4Y uniquely integrates eDP v1.2 compliance, on-chip EDID emulation, firmware-upgradable NVM, and dual-supply flexibility - making it the only option among the three qualified for modern notebook platforms requiring ASSR authentication and EDID-less panel support.

FAQ
What display resolutions does the PTN3460BS/F4Y support?
The PTN3460BS/F4Y supports up to 1920×1200@60 Hz in dual LVDS bus mode with 24 bpp, and lower resolutions including 1366×768@60 Hz in single-bus mode. Pixel clock range is 25–112 MHz, and color depth options are 18 bpp or 24 bpp - all configurable via DPCD registers or CFG pins. The PTN3460BS/F4Y achieves this without external clock sources or frame buffers.
Does the PTN3460BS/F4Y require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the PTN3460BS/F4Y does not require an external crystal or oscillator. It uses an on-chip PLL and clock recovery circuitry to derive all necessary timing from the incoming DisplayPort main link and AUX channel, eliminating the need for external timing references and reducing BOM count and board area.
How does EDID emulation work on the PTN3460BS/F4Y?
The PTN3460BS/F4Y contains on-chip non-volatile memory storing up to seven pre-programmed EDID structures compliant with v1.3. When connected to an LVDS panel without EDID ROM, it responds to DDC read requests over AUX or I2C with emulated EDID data - avoiding BIOS changes and enabling plug-and-play panel integration. The PTN3460BS/F4Y handles this entirely in hardware/firmware without host intervention.
Can the PTN3460BS/F4Y operate with only a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the PTN3460BS/F4Y can operate with a single 3.3 V supply. Its integrated regulator generates the required 1.8 V internally. To select this mode, EPS_N must be left open or pulled HIGH. For dual-supply operation (3.3 V + 1.8 V), EPS_N must be pulled LOW - allowing system designers to optimize power delivery based on platform architecture.
What firmware version does PTN3460BS/F4Y ship with?
The PTN3460BS/F4Y ships with firmware version F4, indicated by the "/F4Y" suffix in the orderable part number. Firmware versions are not backward compatible, and top-side marking shows only "PTN3460BS" without version indication. Configuration and updates are performed via I2C-bus or Flash-over-AUX utilities provided by NXP - ensuring the PTN3460BS/F4Y remains aligned with evolving eDP ecosystem requirements.
