24-Bit Flat Panel Display (FPD) Link—65 MHz
General Description
Features
n 20 to 65 MHz shift clock support
n Programmable transmitter (DS90C383) strobe select
(Rising or Falling edge strobe)
The DS90C383 transmitter converts 28 bits of LVCMOS/
LVTTL data into four LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal-
ing) data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmit-
ted in parallel with the data streams over a fifth LVDS link.
Every cycle of the transmit clock 28 bits of input data are
sampled and transmitted. The DS90CF384 receiver con-
verts the LVDS data streams back into 28 bits of LVCMOS/
LVTTL data. At a transmit clock frequency of 65 MHz, 24 bits
of RGB data and 3 bits of LCD timing and control data
(FPLINE, FPFRAME, DRDY) are transmitted at a rate of 455
Mbps per LVDS data channel. Using a 65 MHz clock, the
data throughputs is 227 Mbytes/sec. The transmitter is of-
fered with programmable edge data strobes for convenient
interface with a variety of graphics controllers. The transmit-
ter can be programmed for Rising edge strobe or Falling
edge strobe through a dedicated pin. A Rising edge trans-

n Single pixel per clock XGA (1024x768) ready
n Supports VGA, SVGA, XGA and higher addressability.
n Up to 227 Megabytes/sec bandwidth
n Up to 1.8 Gbps throughput
n Narrow bus reduces cable size and cost
n 290 mV swing LVDS devices for low EMI
n PLL requires no external components
n Low profile 56-lead TSSOP package.
n Also available in a 64 ball, 0.8mm fine pitch ball grid

mitter will inter-operate with
a Falling edge receiver
(DS90CF384) without any translation logic. Both devices are
also offered in a 64 ball, 0.8mm fine pitch ball grid array
(FBGA) package which provides a 44 % reduction in PCB
footprint compared to the TSSOP package.
n Falling edge data strobe Receiver
n Compatible with TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard

n ESD rating 7 kV
n Operating Temperature: −40˚C to +85˚C
This chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size
problems associated with wide, high speed TTL interfaces.
