DS99R421 5-43 MHz FPD-Link LVDS (3 Data + 1 Clock) to Single Embedded Clock DC-Balanced LVDS Converter General Description Features The DS99R421 converts a FPD-Link input with 4 non-DC Balanced LVDS (3 LVDS Data + LVDS Clock) plus 3 oversampled low speed control bits into a single LVDS DC-balanced serial stream with embedded clock information. This single serial stream simplifies transferring the 24-bit bus over a single differential pair of PCB traces and cable by eliminating the skew problems between the 3 parallel LVDS data inputs and LVDS clock paths. It saves system cost by narrowing 4 LVDS pairs to 1 LVDS pair that in turn reduce PCB layers, cable width, connector size, and pins. The DS99R421 incorporates a single serialized LVDS signal on the high-speed I/O. Embedded clock LVDS provides a low power and low noise environment for reliably transferring data over a serial transmission path. By optimizing the converter output edge rate for the operating frequency range EMI is further reduced. In addition the device features pre-emphasis to boost signals over longer distances using lossy cables. Internal DC balanced encoding is used to support AC-Coupled interconnects. ■ 5 MHz–43 MHz embedded clock & DC-Balanced data transmission (21 total LVDS data bits plus 3 low speed LVCMOS data bits) ■ User adjustable pre-emphasis driving ability through external resistor on LVDS outputs and capable to drive up to 10 meters shielded twisted-pair cable ■ Supports AC-coupling data transmission ■ 100Ω Integrated termination resistor at LVDS input ■ Power-down control ■ Available @SPEED BIST to DS90UR124 to validate link integrity ■ All LVCMOS inputs & control pins have internal pulldown ■ Schmitt trigger inputs on OS[2:0] to minimize metastable ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ conditions.

It converts an FPD-Link interface (3 LVDS data channels + 1 LVDS Clock, e.g. DS90C365A or equivalent) plus up to three (3) LVCMOS additional signals into a single high-speed LVDS serial Interface (see Figure 11). The 21 bits of data from the FPD-Link Interface are serialized along with the 3 additional over-sampled bits (OS[2:0]) into a randomized, scrambled and DC Balanced data stream to support AC coupling and to enhance the signal eye opening. Four (4) additional overhead bits are sent per clock which provides the embedded clock and serial link control information. The embedded clock LVDS serial stream has an effective data throughput of 120 Mbps (5MHz X 24) to 1.03 Gbps (43MHz X 24). The DS99R421 Line Driver is designed to transmit data up to 10 meters over shielded twisted pair (STP) at signaling rates up to 1.2Gbps (43MHz X 28). The DS90UR124 receiver converts the embedded clock LVDS stream back into a 24-bit wide LVCMOS parallel bus and the recovered low-speed clock. Note: The DS90C124 is not compatible with the DS99R421. DS99R421 LINE DRIVER The DS99R421 output (DOUT±) is used to drive a point-topoint connection as shown in Figure 12. The Line driver transmits data when the data enable pin (DEN) is HIGH, the power down bar (PWDNB) is HIGH, and the device is locked to the incoming FPD-Link stream. If the DEN is set LOW, the device remains locked, but the driver outputs are placed in TRI-STATE. This maybe used to provide a fast start up since a lock time is not required. PRE-EMPHASIS The DS99R421 features a Pre-Emphasis function used to compensate for extra long or lossy transmission media. Cable drive is enhanced with a user selectable Pre-Emphasis feature that provides additional output current during transitions to counteract cable loading effects. The transmission distance will be limited by the loss characteristics and quality of the media. To enable the Pre-Emphasis function, the “PRE” pin requires one external resistor (Rpre) to Vss in order to set the additional current level. Options include: LINK START UP The start up of the DS99R421 involves only one PLL Lock time. The FPD-Link Receiver side must lock to its incoming LVDS RxCLKIN. The Serializer side then extracts its reference clock from the incoming LVDS clock. At the far end of the link, the Deserializer (DS90UR124) also needs to detect the LVDS signals and lock to the incoming serial stream, drives the LOCK pin HIGH, before outputting valid data. Note that when using a Bus Converter (FPD-Link to Serial) additional time is required in the start up to account for the additional PLLs in the path. Normal Output (no pre-emphasis) – Leave the PRE pin open Enhanced Output (pre-emphasis enabled) – connect a resistor on the PRE pin to Vss. Values of the PRE Resistor should be between 6K Ohm and 100M Ohm. Values less than 6K Ohm should not be used. The amount of Pre-Emphasis for a given media will depend on the transmission distance and Fmax of the application. In general, too much Pre-Emphasis can cause over or undershoot at the receiver input pins. This can result in excessive noise, crosstalk, reduced Fmax, and increased power dissipation. For shorter cables or distances, Pre-Emphasis is typically not be required. Signal quality measurements should be made at the end of the application cable to confirm the proper amount of Pre-Emphasis for the specific application. The Pre-Emphasis circuit increases the drive current to I = 48 / (Rpre). For example if Rpre = 15K Ohm, then the PreEmphasis current is increased by an additional 3.2 mA. The duration of the current is controlled to precisely one bit by another circuit. If more than one bit value is repeated in the next cycle(s), the next bit(s) is “de-emphasized”; Pre-Emphasis is turned off (back to the normal output current level, hence output level is also reduced). This is done to reduce power, and to reduce ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference). TYPICAL START UP SEQUENCE 1. FPD-Link Stream is applied to the DS99R421 inputs. 2. With power applied and the DS99R421 enabled, it will lock to the incoming FPD-Link clock. Until the DS99R421 is ready, it will hold its outputs in TRI-STATE. Once the locking is complete, valid serial payloads are sent across the link to the DES (DS90UR124). 3. With power applied and the device enabled, the DS90UR124 will lock to the incoming serial stream. Until the DS90UR124 is locked, outputs are in TRI-STATE and its LOCK output pin is held Low. After Lock, the DS90UR124 outputs are active and LOCK is HIGH. DATA TRANSFER After the link start up, the DS99R421 provides a streaming video interface. For each Pixel Clock (PCLK) received from the FPD-Link Interface 21 bits of information are recovered along with the PCLK. The 21 bits of information include the 18-bits of RGB information and the three video control signals (HS, VS and DE). The over-sample control bits are also sampled in this PCLK domain and appended to the 21 bits of information for a 24-bit total payload. The Serializer side now takes this data and performs four operations to it. First the data is randomized, second the data is scrambled, third the data is balanced, and finally the serial link control and clock embedding is done. The Serializer transmits 28 bits of information per payload to the Deserializer per PCLK. See DS90UR241 datasheet for additional information on the Serializer’s description and operation. The chipset supports PCLK frequency ranges of 5 MHz to 43 MHz. At the 43MHz PCLK rate, 28 bits are sent across the VOD SELECT The Serializer Line Driver Differential Output Voltage (VOD) magnitude is selectable. Two levels are provided and are determined by the state of the VODSEL pin. When this pin is LOW, normal output levels are obtained. For most application set the VODSEL pin LOW. When this pin is HIGH, the output current is increased to increase the VOD level. Use this setting only for extra long cable or high-loss interconnects. OVER-SAMPLED BITS – OS[2:0] Up to three additional signals maybe sent across the serial link per PCLK. The over-sampled bits are restricted to be low speed signals and should be less than 1/5 of the frequency of the PCLK. The DS99R421 OS[2:0] LVCMOS Inputs have wide hysteresis to help prevent glitches. Signals should convey level information only, as pulse width distortion will occur by the over sampling technique and location of the sampling 11 www.national.com DS99R421 serial link at 1.2Gbps. The link is very efficient, sending 25 bits of information (18 RGB, 3 control, 3 over-sample control, and PCLK) with 28 serial bits. This yields 89% efficiency. Functional Description DS99R421 clock. The three over sampled bits are mapped to DS90UR124 bits as: OS0 = bit 21, OS1 = bit 22, and OS2 = bit 23. If the OS bits are not required, internal pull-down will bias the input to a LOW. Receiver Termination Option 3 For high noise environments an additional voltage divider network may be connected to the center point. This has the advantage of a providing a DC low-impedance path for noise suppression. Use resistor values in the range of 100Ω-1KΩ for the pullup and pulldown. Ratio the resistor values to bias the center point at 1.8V. For example (see Figure 15): VDD=3.3V, Rpullup=1KΩ, Rpulldown=1.2KΩ; or Rpullup=100Ω, Rpulldown=120Ω (strongest). The smaller values will consume more bias current, but will provide enhanced noise suppression. COLOR MAPPING Color mapping is application specific. It is very important to properly match the Pixel bit to the correct data channel on the DS90UR124 to properly recover the color and control information. See Figure 11. In this example, the G0 color bit is placed in the RxIN0 channel and is the first bit. The Serializer in the DS99R421 will place this bit as bit number 6. Thus G0 will be recovered by the DS90UR124 on bit 6. The three over sampled bits are mapped to DS90UR124 bits as: OS0 = bit 21, OS1 = bit 22, and OS2 = bit 23. FPD LINK INTERFACE The FPD-Link Interface supports a 3 Data + Clock (21 bit) interface. The interconnect should employ a 100 Ohm differential pair, as termination is provided internal to the DS99R421. Note that color mapping is extremely important to review. Color placement of the bits on the FPD-Link Interface will determine which outputs they will be recovered on. The DS99R421 is expected to reside on the same board as the FPD-Link Serializer (e.g. DS90C365A or GUI with Integrated FPD-Link Serializer). The DS99R421 supports a limited common mode range of 525mV to (VDD – VID/2). Typically this is wide enough to support short interconnects. POWERDOWN (SLEEP) MODE The Powerdown state is a low power sleep mode that the DS99R421 and DS90UR124 may use to reduce power when no data is being transferred. The PWDNB on the DS99R421 and RPWDNB on the DS90UR124 are used to set each device into power down mode, which reduces supply current to the µA range. The DS99R421 enters powerdown when the PWDNB pin is driven LOW. In powerdown, the PLL stops and the outputs go into TRI-STATE, disabling load current and reducing current supply. To powerup, the DS99R421, PWDNB must be driven HIGH. When the DS99R421 exits powerdown, its PLL must lock to RxCLKIN before it is ready for the initialization state. The system must then allow time for initialization before data transfer can begin. @SPEED-BIST (BUILT IN SELF TEST) The DS99R421/ DS90UR124 serial link is equipped with a built-in self-test (BIST) capability to support both system manufacturing and field diagnostics. BIST mode is intended to check the entire high-speed serial link at full link-speed, without the use of specialized and expensive test equipment. This feature provides a simple method for a system host to perform diagnostic testing of both DS99R421 and DS90UR124. The BIST function is easily configured through the 2 control pins (BISTEN and BISTM) on the DS90UR124 and one control pin (BISTEN) of the DS99R421. When the BIST mode is activated, the DS99R421 has the ability to transfer an internally generated PRBS data pattern. This pattern traverses across interconnecting links to the DS90UR124. The DS90UR124 includes an on-chip PRBS pattern verification circuit that checks the data pattern for bit errors and reports any errors on the data output pins on the DS90UR124. The @SPEED-BIST feature uses 2 control pins (BISTEN and BISTM) on the DS90UR124 Deserializer. The BISTEN and BISTM pins together determine the functions of the BIST mode. The BISTEN signal (HIGH) activates the test feature on the DS90UR124. After the BIST mode is enabled on the DS90UR124, toggle the BISTEN pin HIGH on the DS99R421 for the DS90UR124 Deserializer to start accepting data. An input clock signal (RxCLKIN) for the DS99R421 must also be applied during the entire BIST operation. Data on RxIN[2:0] and OS[2:0] are ignored during operation of the BIST. The BISTM pin on the DS90UR124 selects the error reporting status mode of the BIST function. When BIST is configured in the error status mode (BISTM = LOW), each of the ROUT [23:0] outputs of the DS90UR124 will correspond to bit errors on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The result of bit mismatches are indicated on the respective parallel inputs on the ROUT[23:0] data output pins. In the BIST error count accumulator mode (BISTM = HIGH), an 8-bit counter on ROUT[7:0] is used to represent the number of errors detected (0 to 255 max). The successful completion of the BIST test is reported on the PASS pin on the DS90UR124 Deserializer. The DS90UR124 Deserializer's PLL must first be locked to ensure the PASS status is valid. The PASS status pin will stay LOW and then SERIAL INTERFACE The serial link between the DS99R421 and the DS90UR124 is intended for a balanced 100 Ohm interconnect. The link is expected to be terminated at both ends with 100 Ohms and AC coupled. To establish a source termination and the correct levels, a Driver side termination is required. This is typically located close to the device pins and is 100 Ohm resistor connected across the driver outputs. The AC coupling capacitors should be place close to the 100 Ohm termination resistor at both ends of the interface. For the high-speed LVDS transmission, small footprint packages should be used for the AC coupling capacitor. This will help minimize degradation of signal quality due to package parasitics. NPO class 1 or X7R class 2 type capacitors are recommended. 50 WVDC should be the minimum used for best system-level ESD performance. The most common used capacitor value for the interface is 100 nF (0.1 uF) capacitor. The DS90UR124 input stage is designed for AC-coupling by providing a built-in AC bias network which sets the internal VCM to +1.8V. Therefore multiple termination options are possible. Receiver Termination Option 1 A single 100 Ohm termination resistor is placed across the RIN± pins (see Figure 12). This provides the signal termination at the Receiver inputs. Other options may be used to increase noise tolerance. Receiver Termination Option 2 For additional EMI tolerance, two 50 Ohm resistors may be used in place of the single 100 Ohm resistor. A small capacitor is tied from the center point of the 50 Ohm resistors to ground (see Figure 14). This provides a high-frequency lowimpedance path for noise suppression. Value is not critical, 4.7nF maybe used with general applications. www.national.com 12 Surface mount capacitors are recommended due to their smaller parasitics. When using multiple capacitors per supply pin, locate the smaller value closer to the pin. A large bulk capacitor is recommend at the point of power entry. This is typically in the 50uF to 100uF range and will smooth low frequency switching noise. It is recommended to connect power and ground pins directly to the power and ground planes with bypass capacitors connected to the plane with vias on both ends of the capacitor. Connecting power or ground pins to an external bypass capacitor will increase the inductance of the path. A small body size X7R chip capacitor, such as 0603, is recommended for external bypass. Its small body size reduces the parasitic inductance of the capacitor. The user must pay attention to the resonance frequency of these external bypass capacitors, usually in the range of 20-30 MHz range. To provide effective bypassing, multiple capacitors are often used to achieve low impedance between the supply rails over the frequency of interest. At high frequency, it is also a common practice to use two vias from power and ground pins to the planes, reducing the impedance at high frequency. Some devices provide separate power and ground pins for different portions of the circuit. This is done to isolate switching noise effects between different sections of the circuit. Separate planes on the PCB are typically not required. Pin Description tables typically provide guidance on which circuit blocks are connected to which power pin pairs. In some cases, an external filter many be used to provide clean power to sensitive circuits such as PLLs. Use at least a four layer board with a power and ground plane. Locate LVCMOS signals away from the LVDS lines to prevent coupling from the LVCMOS lines to the LVDS lines. Closelycoupled differential lines of 100 Ohms are typically recommended for LVDS interconnect. The closely coupled lines help to ensure that coupled noise will appear as commonmode and thus is rejected by the receivers. The tightly coupled lines will also radiate less. Termination of the LVDS interconnect is required. For pointto-point applications, termination should be located at both ends of the devices. Nominal value is 100 Ohms to match the line’s differential impedance. Place the resistor as close to the transmitter DOUT± outputs and receiver RIN± inputs as possible to minimize the resulting stub between the termination resistor and device. Applications Information USING THE DS99R421 AND DS90UR124 The DS99R421 allows a FPD-Link based bus to connect to a single-channel serial LVDS interface in a Display using the latest generation LVDS Deserializer (DS90UR124). This allows for existing hosts with FPD-Link interfaces to be further serialized into a single pair and connect with the current generation Display Deserializer. Systems benefit by the smaller interconnect (reduced pins, less size, lower cost). DISPLAY APPLICATION 18-bit color depth (RGB666) and up to 1280 X 480 display formats can be supported. In a RGB666 configuration 18 color bits (R[5:0], G [5:0], B[5:0]), Pixel Clock (PCLK) and three control bits (VS, HS and DE) along with three low speed spare bits OS[2:0] are supported across the serial link with PCLK rates from 5 to 43MHz. TYPICAL APPLICATION CONNECTION Figure 13 shows a typical connection to the DS99R421. The 4 pairs of FPD-Link LVDS interface are the input interface along with the optional over-sampled control signals. Termination of the LVDS signals is provided internally by the DS99R421 device. The single channel LVDS serial output requires an external termination and also AC coupling capacitors. Configuration pins for the typical application are shown: DEN – tie HIGH if unused. PWDNB – Sleep / Enable Control Input – Connect to host or tie HIGH BISTEN – tie LOW if not used, or connect or host VODSEL – tie LOW for normal VOD magnitude (application dependant) PRE – Leave open if not required (have a R pad option on PCB) RESRVD – tie LOW (4 pins) There are 4 power rails for the device. These may be bussed together on a common 3.3V plane. At a minimum, four 0.1uF capacitors should be used for local bypassing. With the above configuration a FPD-Link interface along with three additional low-speed signals are converted to a single serial LVDS channel. LVDS INTERCONNECT GUIDELINES See AN-1108 and AN-905 for full details. • Use 100Ω coupled differential pairs • Use the S/2S/3S rule in separation —S = space between the pair —2S = space between pairs —3S = space to LVCMOS signal • Minimize the number of vias • Use differential connectors when operating above 500Mbps line speed • Maintain balance of the traces • Minimize skew within the pair • Terminate as close to the TX outputs and RX inputs as possible Additional general guidance can be found in the LVDS Owner’s Manual - available in PDF format from the National web site at: www.national.com/lvds PCB LAYOUT AND POWER SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS Circuit board layout and stack-up for the LVDS SERDES devices should be designed to provide low-noise power feed to the device. Good layout practice will also separate high frequency or high-level inputs and outputs to minimize unwanted stray noise pickup, feedback and interference. Power system performance may be greatly improved by using thin dielectrics (2 to 4 mils) for power / ground sandwiches. This arrangement provides plane capacitance for the PCB power system with low-inductance parasitics, which has proven especially effective at high frequencies, and makes the value and placement of external bypass capacitors less critical. External bypass capacitors should include both RF ceramic and tantalum electrolytic types. RF capacitors may use values in the range of 0.01 uF to 0.1 uF. Tantalum capacitors may be in the 2.2 uF to 10 uF range. Voltage rating of the tantalum capacitors should be at least 5X the power supply voltage being used. 13 www.national.com DS99R421 transition to HIGH once a BER of 1x10-9 is achieved across the transmission link.
