Kinetec MCDP5200 RD1 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MCDP5200 is an advanced USB Type-C / DisplayPort1.4a to HDMI converter
with an integrated USB type-C de-multiplexer, targeted primarily for Mobile
Notebook accessory and display applications. This device functions as a DP to
HDMI protocol converter with a HDCP1.x/ HDCP2.x repeater function.
The MCDP5200 has a USB Type C DP Alt mode Upstream Facing Port (UFP),
supporting Billboard functionality. The four high speed lanes of UFP can
receive DP1.4a MST audio-video and USB3.1 Gen2 data streams simultaneously.
The input lane mapping is flexible and meets the USB Type-C connector flip
orientation requirements. The incoming DP and USB signals are de-multiplexed,
retimed, and transmitted on the Downstream Facing Ports (DFP). The MCDP5200
consists of a USB DFP port with USB3.1 TX and RX pair and an audio-video DFP
port configured as DC coupled HDMI/DVI port, each with four high-speed lanes.
Ordering Information

System Overview
Functional Block Diagram 
Connection Setup
- Connect USB Type C cable
- Connect HDMI Cable
- [optional] Connect USB Type C Charging port: MCDP5200 RD1 USB PD (through UFP USB C and DFP USB C Dual Role)
- [optional]: USB3.2 Type A: Downstream Facing Port for USB supports (USB2.0, USB3.x Gen1/Gen2).
- USB Type A-to-C cable can also be used to connect to USBC 2.0 / 3.x Gen1/Gen2 devices.
Diagnosis
If the image does not come up, follow the steps below for diagnosis.
Note: The diagnosis requires the Kinetics’ GProbe software3.
- Install the GProbe diagnostic tool on a computer and set the baud rate to 115,200.
- Connect a micro-USB cable to the CN5 connector as shown in figure2-3 (the board has a USB-UART for Gprobe Interface
- Install the necessary driver FTDI drivers (USB to UART) and connect to the computer with the Gprobe software
- Hit the Reset button on the board. You will see the firmware version and date of firmware in the GProbe window. This indicates the DP receiver IC is functional. If the message does not appear, contact Kinetic for further assistance.
