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.
