description
The SN75LVDS88A (LVDS panel timing controller) integrates a Flatlink signal interface with a TFT LCD timing
controller. It resides in the LCD panel and provides interface between the graphic controller and a TFT LCD
panel.
The SN75LVDS88A accepts host data through 3 pairs of inputs (18-bits) making up the LVDS bus, which is a
low-EMI high-throughput interface. SN75LVDS88A then reformats the received image data into a specific data
format and synchronous timing suitable for driving LCD panel column and row drivers. This device supports
XGA resolution.
The SN75LVDS88A is easily configured by several selection terminals and is equipped with default timing
specifications to support mainstream gate and source drivers on the market.

PARAMETER MEASUREMENT INFORMATION
functional description
Flatlink
The core of the Flatlink is TIs original 86A LVDS receiver which has three data channels for the 18-bit color plus
one clock channel.
data alignment
The data alignment block supports dual bus dual port column driver configuration. When interfacing a 2-port
column driver, the controller arranges pixels in odd and even order, then distributes them to odd and even buses
and each connects to either of the driver ports. Under this setup, the controller outputs one clock, one or two
data polarities (depends on driver), and one inverse ( support line inversion) signal to the drivers.
output formatting
The output formatting provides several functions to reduce EMI, noise, and timing delay arrangement. These
functions are controllable through some optional pins. See the registers and options section for reference.
D
D
Reverse Polarity Generation
When enable this function generates polarity indication signals. This occurs when the number of transitions
in the output data bus exceeds 18-bits compared to the previous output under normal polarity. The polarity
signal will be active and the output will be the opposite polarity to reduce transition
Line Inversion
When enabled, the REV_O and REV_E terminals will output the same line inversion control signals but in
opposite polaritys.

Source Shifted Clock( SSC)
The master data clock could be arranged to have an intentional phase delay relative to the output data,
which helps the system engineer tune the clock to latch the data correctly regardless of the characteristics
presented by the PCB and the layout.
Horizontal Starting pulses
ESP and OSP terminals are used as the horizontal starting pulses outputs pins. Their output are one HCLK
period ahead of the RGB data stream
Horizontal Clock
ECLK and OCLK terminals are responsible for the clock pulses, based on the XGA resolution when its
frequency is at 32.5 MHz.
CD Data Latch Pulse
TP1 and TP2 provide the column driver input latch and output enable signals.
Gate Driver Clock
The CPV terminal output the clock pulses to the gate drivers as the horizontal sync timing in its CRT counter
part.
Gate Driver Starting Pulse
The vertical starting pulse automatically generates at the start of every frame.
Gate Driver Output Enable
The OE1 and OE2 terminals provide the gate output enabale signals.

This block provides vertical and horizontal reference points for timing control. Vsync, Hsync, and ENAB signals
along with the auto detection function determine when the video from the host is valid.

Due to the uncertainty of registers and counters in the driver, SN75LVDS88A combines the input from both reset
