LVDS TX and RX PHY

Overview

The LVDS implements LVDS TIA/EIA protocol, providing a low-voltage, high-speed point-to-point signal interface. It supports either DDR-type (sensor-side) or Byte-type (screen-side). It uses differential signaling to transmit data over a constant-impedance transmission line, ensuring robust noise immunity and low power consumption.

The IP includes four parallel-load serial-out shift registers, a 7x clock PLL, and five LVDS line drivers integrated into a single circuit. It supports data transmission by converting parallel pixel data and sync signals into serialized LVDS streams, with the serial clock frequency multiplied seven times for efficient data transfer. The IP is highly scalable, extending from 5 lanes to N lanes based on customer requirements.

The TTL IP complements the LVDS solution, providing a parallel interface for data transmission. It extends the LVDS functionality by supporting additional TTL lines as needed, ensuring flexibility for various system designs. The TTL interface is configurable through an APB bus, enabling seamless integration into diverse applications. Together, LVDS and TTL IPs offer a versatile solution for high-speed, low-power data transmission in demanding environments.
