The DS90C387A/DS90CF388A 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 and 3 control bits into 8 LVDS (Low Voltage
Differential Signalling) data streams. At a maximum dual
pixel rate of 112MHz, LVDS data line speed is 784Mbps,
providing a total throughput of 5.7Gbps (714 Megabytes per
second).
The LDI chipset is improved over prior generations of
FPD-Link devices and offers higher bandwidth support and
longer cable drive. To increase bandwidth, the maximum
pixel clock rate is increased to 112 MHz and 8 serialized
LVDS outputs are provided. Cable drive is enhanced with a
user selectable pre-emphasis feature that provides additional output current during transitions to counteract cable
loading effects.
The DS90C387A transmitter provides a second LVDS output
clock. Both LVDS clocks are identical. This feature supports
backward compatibility with the previous generation of
FPD-Link Receivers - the second clock allows the transmitter to interface to panels using a ’dual pixel’ configuration of
two 24-bit or 18-bit FPD-Link receivers.
This chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size
problems for high-resolution flat panel applications. It pro-
vides a reliable interface based on LVDS technology that
delivers the bandwidth needed for high-resolution panels
while maximizing bit times, and keeping clock rates low to
reduce EMI and shielding requirements. For more details,
please refer to the “Applications Information” section of this
datasheet.

Note 4: The Minimum and Maximum Limits are based on statistical analysis of the device performance over voltage and temperature ranges. This parameter is
functionally tested on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). ATE is limited to 85MHz. A sample of characterization parts have been bench tested at 112MHz to verify
functional performance.
Note 5: The limits are based on bench characterization of the device’s jitter response over the power supply voltage range. Output clock jitter is measured with a
cycle-to-cycle jitter of
in the clock edge from most graphics VGA chips currently available. This parameter is used when calculating system margin as described in AN-1059.
Note 6: Receiver Skew Margin is defined as the valid data sampling region at the receiver inputs. This margin takes into account transmitter output pulse positions
(min and max) and the receiver input setup and hold time (internal data sampling window - RSPOS). This margin allows for LVDS interconnect skew, inter-symbol
interference (both dependent on type/length of cable) and clock jitter.

LVDS Interface / TFT Data (Color) Mapping
Different color mapping options exist. See National Application Notes 1127 and 1163 for details.
The LVDS Clock waveshape is shown in Figure 15. Note that
the rising edge of the LVDS clock occurs two LVDS sub
symbols before the current cycle of data. The clock is compose of a 4 LVDS sub symbol HIGH time anda3LVDSsub
symbol LOW time. The respective pin (transmitter and receiver) names are show in Figure 15. As stated above these
names are not the color mapping information (MSB/LSB) but
DS90C387A/DS90CF388A
pin names only.
Inputs B17 and B27 are double wide bits. If using the
DS90CF388A, this bits are sampled in the back half of the bit
only. Also, the DE signal is mapped to two LVDS sub symbols. The DS90CF388A only samples the DE bit on channel
A2. Two FPD-Link receivers may also be used in place of the
DS90CF388A, since the DS90C387A provides two LVDS
clocks. If this is the case, the FPD-Link receiver datasheet
needs to be consulted for recovery mapping information. In
this application, it is possible to recover two signals of: DE,
B17 and B27 from the transmitter.
There are two reserved bits (RES). The DS90CF388A ignores these bits. If using separate FPD-Link receivers, the
corresponding receiver outputs for these two bits should be
left open (NC).

Applications Information
How to configure the DS90C387A and DS90CF388A for
most common application:
1. To configure for single input pixel-to-dual pixel output
application, the DS90C387 “DUAL” pin must be set to 1/2
Vcc=1.65V. This may be implemented using pull-up and
pull-down resistors of 10kΩ. In this configuration, the input
signals (single pixel) are split into odd and even pixel (dual
pixels) starting with the odd (first) pixel outputs A0-to-A3 the
next even (second) pixel outputs to A4-to-A7. The splitting of
the data signal also starts with DE (data enable) transitioning
from logic low to high indicating active data. The ’R_FDE’ pin
must be set high in this case. The number of clock cycles
during blanking must be an EVEN number. This configuration will allow the user to interface to an LDI receiver
(DS90CF388A) or to two FPD-Link ’notebook’ receivers
(DS90CF384A or DS90CF386).
2. To configure for single pixel or dual pixel application using
the DS90C387A/DS90CF388A, the “DUAL” pin must be set
to Vcc (dual) or Gnd (single). In dual mode, the
transmitter-DS90C387A has two LVDS clock outputs enabling an interface to two FPD-Link ’notebook’ receivers
(DS90CF384A or DS90CF386). In single mode, outputs
A4-to-A7 and CLK2 are disabled which reduces power dissipation.
The DS90CF388A is able to support single or dual pixel
interface up to 112MHz operating frequency. This receiver
may also be used to interface to a VGA controller with an
integrated LVDS transmitter.

Transmitter Features:
The transmitter is designed to reject cycle-to-cycle jitter
which may be seen at the transmitter input clock. Very low
cycle-to-cycle jitter is passed on to the transmitter outputs.
This significantly reduces the impact of jitter provided by the
input clock source, and improves the accuracy of data sampling.
The transmitter is offered with programmable edge data
strobes for convenient interface with a variety of graphics
controllers. The transmitter can be programmed for rising
edge strobe or falling edge strobe through a dedicated pin. A
rising edge transmitter will inter-operate with a falling edge
receiver without any translation logic.
Pre-Emphasis:
Pre-Emphasis adds extra current during LVDS logic transition to reduce the cable loading effects. Pre-emphasis
strength is set via a DC voltage level applied from min to max
(0.75V to Vcc) at the “PRE” pin.A higher input voltage on the
”PRE” pin increases the magnitude of dynamic current during data transition. The “PRE” pin requires one pull-up resistor (Rpre) to Vcc in order to set the DC level. There is an
internal resistor network, which cause a voltage drop. Please
refer to the tables below to set the voltage level.

112MHz1.5V5 meters
80MHz1.0V2 meters
80MHz1.2V7 meters
65MHz1.5V10 meters
56MHz1.0V10 meters
Note 13: This is based on testing with standard shield twisted pair cable. The amount of pre-emphasis will vary depending on the type of cable, length and operating
frequency.
RSKM - Receiver Skew Margin
RSKM is a chipset parameter and is explained in AN-1059 in
detail. It is the difference between the transmitter’s pulse
position and the receiver’s strobe window. RSKM must be
greater than the summation of: Interconnect skew, LVDS
Source Clock Jitter (TJCC), and ISI (if any). See Figure 12.
Interconnect skew includes PCB traces differences, connector skew and cable skew for a cable application. PCB trace
and connector skew can be compensated for in the design of
the system. Cable skew is media type and length dependant.
Power Down:
Both transmitter and receiver provide a power down feature.
When asserted current draw through the supply pins is
minimized and the PLLs are shut down. The transmitter
outputs are in TRI-STATE when in power down mode. The
receiver outputs are forced to a active LOW state when in
the power down mode. (See Pin Description Tables). The PD
pin should be driven HIGH to enable the device once VCCis
stable.

DS90C387/DS90CF388:
The DS90C387A/CF388A chipset is electrically similar to the
DS90C387/CF388. The DS90C387/CF388 is intended for
improved support of longer cable drive. Cable drive is enhanced with a user selectable pre-emphasis feature that
provides additional output current during transitions to counteract cable loading effects. Optional DC balancing on a
cycle-to-cycle basis, is also provided to reduce ISI
(Inter-Symbol Interference). With pre-emphasis and DC balancing, a low distortion eye-pattern is provided at the receiver end of the cable. A cable deskew capability has been
added to deskew long cables of pair-to-pair skew of up to
+/−1 LVDS data bit time (up to 80 MHz Clock Rate). These
three enhancements allow cables 5+ meters in length to be
driven depending upon media and clock rate.
