FlatLink3G Interface
ACX567AKM-7
Introduction
The number of data channels between TX and RX is programmable from 1 to 2 depending on bandwidth
needed. The data link speed is defined according to pixel clock (PCLK) of RGB I/F and the number of data
channels. FlatLink3G has 2 different power modes; shutdown and active. In shutdown mode, FlatLink3G
is totally inactive and assumed to consume least power (order of A). In active mode, FlatLink3G works as
a High-speed data link as defined.
TX adds odd parity bit in every data frame and RX checks the pixel data according to the sent parity.
System Block Diagram and Link Protocol

supply.
TX_R[7:0], TX_G[7:0], TX_B[7:0], TX_VS, TX_HS, TX_DE and TX_PCLK are RGB I/F parallel CMOS
signals provided for TX. PLL of TX provides necessary multiplied clock internally based on TX_PCLK.
TX serializes TX_R[7:0], TX_G[7:0], TX_B[7:0], TX_VS, TX_HS and TX_DE into High-speed data
channels, D0+/D0–, D1+/D1–, D2+/D2–, based on the multiplied clock. TX transfers TX_PLCK into a
High-speed clock channel, CLK+/CLK–, with its original rate. The number of data channels is
programmed by TX_LS and RX_LS.
PLL of RX provides necessary multiplied clock internally based on the High-speed clock channel
inputs. RX desterilizes the High-speed data channel inputs into RX_R[7:0], RX_G[7:0], RX_B[7:0],
RX_VS, RX_HS and RX_DE based on the multiplied clock. TX transfers the High-speed clock channel
into RX_PCLK. RX_R[7:0], RX_G[7:0], RX_B[7:0], RX_VS, RX_HS, RX_DE and RX_PCLK construct
RGB I/F parallel CMOS signals as output.
RX_XSD are CMOS signals for shutdown of TX and RX.

Link Programmability
The number of High-speed data channels is programmed in NVM by CM[2:0].
Table 1 shows the relation among CM, the number of High-speed data channels, the supported
RX_PCLK range and the guaranteed data bandwidth per channel.

Option 1: The number of High-speed data channels is 2;
Note 1: Ta = –30 to +70C (to +85C no damage), VDDI = 1.65 to 1.95V, VSS (DGND) = 0V
Note 2: The reference point is when the CLK channel is changing from logical “0” to logical “1” at the 50%
level. This reference point is used to defined ideal t
POSn (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... ,14) positions.

The FlatLink3G receiver is understanding that there is logical “1” when a differential voltage is more than
VTHH and the FlatLink3G receiver is understanding that there is logical “0” when a differential voltage is
more than VTHH. There is undefined state if the differential voltage is less than VTHH and less than VTHH.
A reference figure is below.

The FlatLink3G transmitter can be driven to Hi-Z on the host side, when the FlatLink3G interface is not used.
Therefore, there is implemented pull-down or pull-up resistor(s) (RSELFBIAS) to avoid e.g. unstable
situations for differential inputs of the FlatLink3G receiver.
Therefore, those two examples, which are shown below, are only for reference purposes, when there is
defined an implementation of the pull-up or pull-down resistor(s) (RSELFBIAS).

Note)
The horizontal and vertical blanking number (also sync widths,

therefore internal synchronization is operated by only DE pulse,
HS and VS are only used reset for H system and V system.
General Timing Diagram
The image information must be correct on the display, when the timings are in range on the interface.
However, the image information can be incorrect on the display, when timings are out of the range on the
interface (Out of the range timings cannot cause any damage on the display module or it cannot cause any
damage on the host side). The correct image information must be displayed automatically (by the display
module) on the next frame (vertical sync.), when there is returned from out of the range to in range interface
timings.
