New LVDS serializer for low-power embedded processors

TI has introduced the LVDS serializer that connects directly to 1.8-V powered processors. Using TI's FlatLink technology, the SN75LVDS83B eliminates the need for a costly level shifter when using 1.8-V and 2.5-V logic interfaces.

The SN75LVDS83B supports 8-bit color and serializes RGB data. It then consolidates 24 data lines into one LVDS clock and four LVDS data pairs, which connect to LCD modules.

The SN75LVDS83B supports applications such as netbooks, mobile Internet devices, digital picture frames and others where an LVDS link from a processor to the LCD module is required.

The device is compatible with numerous processors, including OMAP35x applications processors and digital media processors based on TI's DaVinci technology .

Connects directly to any TTL level from 1.8 V to 3.3 V, eliminating the need for additional components
135-MHz pixel clock supports HD screen resolutions
