The DS90CF366MTD is a Flat Panel Display Link (FPD-Link) transmitter from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor). It's designed to transmit data from a graphics controller to a flat panel display over a high-speed serial link. This significantly reduces the number of wires required and simplifies the interconnect between the graphics source and the display panel.

Applications

• Laptop computers
• Notebook computers
• LCD monitors
• Digital signage
• Medical imaging equipment
• Automotive display systems

Benefits

• Reduced cable size and cost: The FPD-Link technology significantly reduces the number of wires needed to transmit data, leading to smaller and cheaper cables.
• Simplified system design: Fewer wires make system design and manufacturing easier.
• Improved signal integrity: The high-speed serial link provides excellent signal integrity, resulting in clearer and sharper images.
• Lower power consumption: This transmitter is designed for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered devices.
• Reduced EMI: The FPD-Link technology helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable performance.

Additional Details

The DS90CF366MTD converts 24 bits of parallel RGB data into a high-speed serial data stream. This serial data stream is then transmitted over a shielded twisted-pair cable to a compatible FPD-Link receiver. The receiver converts the serial data back into parallel RGB data for display on the LCD panel. The device is typically used with a companion receiver such as the DS90CF365.

Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.
