The DS90C363BMTX is a 24-bit Flat Panel Display (FPD) Link transmitter from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor). This transmitter converts 24 bits of single-ended LVTTL data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams with a separate clock signal. It is designed to interface directly with flat panel displays or graphics controllers using the FPD Link interface.

Applications

• Flat Panel Displays
• Notebook Computers
• LCD Monitors
• Automotive Display Systems
• Industrial Display Systems

Features

• 24-bit single-ended LVTTL to 3 LVDS channels
• FPD Link compatible
• Operating frequency up to 85 MHz
• Low power consumption
• Supports resolutions up to XGA (1024x768) at 60Hz
• Single 3.3V supply operation
• Power-down mode for reduced power consumption
• Clock edge selection
• Serialized data outputs for reduced cable size and cost

Benefits

• Reduced EMI: LVDS signaling minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity.
• Lower Power Consumption: Designed for low power operation, making it suitable for portable devices.
• High Bandwidth: Supports high-resolution displays with fast data transfer rates.
• Simplified Interconnect: LVDS reduces the number of wires required, simplifying cable design and reducing cost.
• Improved Signal Integrity: LVDS provides robust signal transmission, ensuring clear and reliable display quality.

Technical Specifications

The DS90C363BMTX operates from a 3.3V power supply and supports pixel clock frequencies up to 85 MHz. It is packaged in a TSSOP package. The device features a power-down mode that reduces power consumption when the display is not active. The FPD Link interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of flat panel displays and graphics controllers. The transmitter converts the 24-bit RGB data into three LVDS data streams and one LVDS clock stream, which are then transmitted over a shielded twisted pair cable to the receiver at the display panel.

The device is designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern display systems, offering high performance, low power consumption, and reduced EMI. It is a suitable choice for applications requiring high-quality display performance and efficient data transmission.
