Low Power Mobile Pixel Link 49-Pin uArray

The LM2506 device adapts RGB style display interfaces to the Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Level zero serial link. The LM2506 supports one RGB display at up to 18-bit color depth and 800 X 300 pixels (over 216 Mbps and 13.2 MHz PCLK) is supported. A mode pin configures the device as a Serializer (SER) or Deserializer (DES) so the same chip can be used on both sides of the interface.The interconnect is reduced from 22 signals to only 3 active signals with the LM2506 chipset easing flex interconnect design, size constraints and cost. The LM2506 in SER mode resides beside an application, graphics or baseband processor and translates a parallel bus from LVCMOS levels to serial Mobile Pixel Link levels for transmission over a flex cable (or coax) and PCB traces to the DES located near the display module.When the Power_Down (PD*) input is asserted on the SER, the MDn and MC line drivers are powered down to save current. The DES can be controlled by a separate Power_Down input or via a signal from the SER (PDOUT*).The LM2506 implements the physical layer of the MPL Level 0 Standard (MPL-0) and a 150 µA IB current (Class 0).
