9 Detailed Description

9.1 Overview

FlatLink™ is an LVDS SerDes data transmission system. The SN65LVDS93A takes in three (or four) data words each containing seven single-ended data bits, and converts this to an LVDS serial output. Each serial output runs at seven times that of the parallel data rate. The deserializer (receiver) device operates in the reverse manner. The three (or four) LVDS serial inputs are transformed back to the original 7-bit parallel single-ended data. FlatLink devices are available in 21:3 or 28:4 SerDes ratios.

  • The 21-bit devices are designed for 6-bit RGB video for a total of 18 bits in addition to 3 extra bits for horizontal synchronization, vertical synchronization, and data enable.
  • The 28-bit devices are intended for 8-bit RGB video applications. Again, the extra 4 bits are for horizontal synchronization, vertical synchronization, data enable, and the remaining is the reserved bit. These 28-bit devices can also be used in 6-bit and 4-bit RGB applications as shown in the subsequent system diagrams.

9.3 Feature Description

9.3.1 TTL Input Data

The data inputs to the transmitter come from the graphics processor and consist of up to 24 bits of video information, a horizontal synchronization bit, a vertical synchronization bit, an enable bit, and a spare bit. The data can be loaded into the registers upon either the rising or falling edge of the input clock selectable by the CLKSEL pin. Data inputs are 1.8 V to 3.3 V tolerant for the SN65LVDS93A and can connect directly to low-power, low-voltage application and graphic processors. The bit mapping is listed in Table 1.

9.4 Device Functional Modes

9.4.1 Input Clock Edge

The transmission of data bits D0 through D27 occurs as each are loaded into registers upon the edge of the CLKIN signal, where the rising or falling edge of the clock may be selected through CLKSEL. The selection of a clock rising edge occurs by inputting a high level to CLKSEL, which is achieved by populating pullup resistor to pull CLKSEL=high. Inputting a low level to select a clock falling edge is achieved by directly connecting CLKSEL to GND.

9.4.2 Low Power Mode

The SN65LVDS93A can be put in low-power consumption mode by active-low input SHTDN#. Connecting pin SHTDN# to GND will inhibit the clock and shut off the LVDS output drivers for lower power consumption. A low-level on this signal clears all internal registers to a low-level. Populate a pullup to VCC on SHTDN# to enable the device for normal operation.
