DESCRIPTION
The DS92LX2121/DS92LX2122 chipset offers a
Channel Link III interface with a high-speed forward
channel and a full-duplex control channel for data
transmission over a single differential pair. The
DS92LX2121/DS92LX2122 incorporates differential
signaling on both the high-speed and bi-directional
back channel control data paths. The Serializer/
Deserializer pair is targeted for direct connections
between graphics host controller and displays
modules. This chipset is ideally suited for driving
video data to displays requiring 18-bit color depth
(RGB666 + HS, VS, and DE) along with a bi-
directional back channel control bus. The primary
transport converts 21 bit data over a single high-
speed serial stream, along with a separate low
latency bi-directional back channel transport that
accepts control information from an I2C port. Using
TI’s embedded clock technology allows transparent
full-duplex communication over a single differential
pair, carrying asymmetrical bi-directional back
channel control information in both directions. This
single serial stream simplifies transferring a wide data
bus over PCB traces and cable by eliminating the
skew problems between parallel data and clock
paths. This significantly saves system cost by
narrowing data paths that in turn cable width,
connector size and pins.
In addition, the Deserializer provides input
equalization to compensate for loss from the media
over longer distances. Internal DC balanced
encoding/decoding is used to support AC-Coupled
interconnects.
A sleep function provides a power-savings mode
when the high speed forward channel and embedded
bi-directional control channel are not needed.
The Serializer is offered in a 40-pin lead in WQFN
and Deserializer is offered in a 48-pin WQFN
packages.
