OpenLDI/FPD-Link/LVDS Transmitter IP Core

Convert Video Streams from OpenLDI/FDP-Link/LVDS to Pixel Clock Domain

The Lattice Semiconductor FPD-Link Transmitter IP translates parallel video streams to a Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface for a Flat Panel Display Link FPD-Link) connection to a display. The IP converts pixel data into the standard OpenLDI serial video interface domain.

Resource Utilization details are available in the IP Core User Guide.

Features

  • Compliant with Open LVDS Display Interface (OpenLDI) v0.95 specifications
  • Transmits in OpenLDI unbalanced operating mode format
  • Supports RGB888 and RGB666 video formats
  • Supports transmitting in Dual Channel Flat Panel Display Link Protocol (7:1 LVDS)
  • Supports 3-4 LVDS data lanes per channel
