This paper proposes a low-complexity Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) architecture. We implement and verify the proposed MDDI-host architecture on a System-on-Chip (SoC) platform with a 32-bit RISC CPU and a FPGA module. As a result of verification, the gate count of the MDDI host is reduced by about 50 % compared to that of the conventional parallel interface. And the bandwidth per pin of the MDDI host is 3 times more than that of a conventional parallel interface. Furthermore, the MDDI host that we implement includes the Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) interface. Therefore, the proposed MDDI architecture is suitable for SoC platforms (1). Index Terms--Mobile display digital interface (MDDI), low power, low-complexity architecture, serial interface.
