DESCRIPTION
The DS90C387/DS90CF388 transmitter/receiver pair
is designed to support dual pixel data transmission
between Host and Flat Panel Display up to QXGA
resolutions. The transmitter converts 48 bits (Dual
Pixel 24-bit color) of CMOS/TTL data into 8 LVDS
(Low Voltage Differential Signalling) data streams.
Control signals (VSYNC, HSYNC, DE and two user-
defined signals) are sent during blanking intervals. At
a maximum dual pixel rate of 112MHz, LVDS data
line speed is 672Mbps, providing a total throughput of
5.38Gbps (672 Megabytes per second). Two other
modes are also supported. 24-bit color data (single
pixel) can be clocked into the transmitter at a
maximum rate of 170MHz. In this mode, the
transmitter provides single-to-dual pixel conversion,
and the output LVDS clock rate is 85MHz maximum.
The third mode provides inter-operability with FPD-
Link devices.
The LDI chipset is improved over prior generations of
FPD-Link devices and offers higher bandwidth
support and longer cable drive with three areas of
enhancement. To increase bandwidth, the maximum
pixel clock rate is increased to 112 (170) MHz and 8
serialized LVDS outputs are provided. Cable drive is
enhanced with a user selectable pre-emphasis
feature that provides additional output current during
transitions to counteract cable loading effects. DC
balancing on a cycle-to-cycle basis, is also provided
to reduce ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference). With pre-
emphasis and DC balancing, a low distortion eye-
pattern is provided at the receiver end of the cable. A
cable deskew capability has been added to deskew
long cables of pair-to-pair skew of up to +/−1 LVDS
data bit time (up to 80 MHz Clock Rate). These three
enhancements allow cables 5+ meters in length to be
driven. This chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI
and cable size problems for high-resolution flat panel
applications. It provides a reliable interface based on
LVDS technology that delivers the bandwidth needed
for high-resolution panels while maximizing bit times,
and keeping clock rates low to reduce EMI and
shielding requirements. For more details, please refer
to Applications Information.
