PRODUCTION DATA
The DLPC7530 Controller supports a single 30-bit parallel interface which complies with standard graphics interface protocol, which includes a vertical sync signal (VSYNC), horizontal sync signal (HSYNC), data valid signal (DATEN), a 30-bit data bus (PDATA_xy), and a pixel clock (PCLK). The polarity of both syncs is programmable. Parallel Interface General Timing Requirements shows the relationship between these signals. For data sources with fewer than 10 bits/component, data must be MSB justified per component.
The input pins for FPD Ports A and B are shared by the Parallel Port. These pins can be used for FPD operation or Parallel Port operation, based on product configuration. It is not possible to switch between these two interface configurations during normal operation. Pins for FPD Port C are reserved for Parallel Port use, and can only be used when Parallel Port operation is configured
VSYNC must remain active at all times when the parallel port is in use. If VSYNC is lost, the DMD must be transitioned to a safe state. When the system detects a VSYNC loss, it switches to a test pattern or splash image as specified in flash by the Host.
The parallel port interface supports limited inter-channel remapping (specified in flash) that can help with board layout as needed. The inter-channel remapping allows the full data bus for channel A (PDATA_Ax), B (PDATA_Bx), or C (PDATA_Cx) to be remapped to either of the other two data channels. Each input channel can only be mapped to one unique destination channel. The typical mapping is shown in Figure 6-2. An example of an alternate mapping is shown in Figure 6-3. Parallel port channel remapping is specific to parallel port operation only, and is not applicable to FPD operation.
