Interface
The SN65LVDS303 supports three power modes
(shutdown, standby and active) to conserve power.
When transmitting, the PLL locks to the incoming
pixel clock, PCLK, and generates an internal
high-speed clock at the line rate of the data lines.
The parallel data are latched on the rising or falling
edge of PCLK, as selected by the external control
signal CPOL. The serialized data is presented on the
serial outputs D0 and D1, together with a recreated
PCLK that is generated from the internal high-speed
clock and output on CLK. If PCLK stops, the device
enters a standby mode to conserve power.

The parallel (CMOS) input bus offers a bus-swap
feature. The SWAP terminal configures the input
order of the pixel data to be either R[7:0], G[7:0],
B[7:0], VS, HS, DE or B[0:7]. G[0:7], R[0:7], VS, HS,
DE. This gives a PCB designer the flexibility to better
match the bus to the host controller pinout or to put
the transmitter device on the top side or the bottom
side of the PCB.

DESCRIPTION
The SN65LVDS303 serializer device converts 27
parallel data inputs to one or two sub-low-voltage
differential signaling (SubLVDS) serial outputs. It
loads a shift register with 24 pixel bits and 3 control
bits from the parallel CMOS input interface. In
addition to the 27 data bits, the device adds a parity
bit and two reserved bits into a 30-bit data word.
Each word is latched into the device by the pixel
clock (PCLK). The parity bit (odd parity) allows a
receiver to detect single bit errors. The serial shift
register is uploaded at 30 or 15 times the pixel-clock
data rate, depending on the number of serial links
used. A copy of the pixel clock is output on a
separate differential output.
