PRODUCTION DATA
High-speed interface waveform quality and timing on the DLPC900 controller (that is, the LVDS DMD interface) is dependent on the following factors:
Thus, ensuring positive timing margin requires attention to many factors.
As an example, DMD interface system timing margin can be calculated as follows:
The PCB SI degradation is the signal integrity degradation due to PCB affects which includes such things as simultaneously switching output (SSO) noise, crosstalk, and intersymbol interference (ISI) noise.
DLPC900 I/O timing parameters, as well as DMD I/O timing parameters, can be easily found in their corresponding data sheets. Similarly, PCB routing mismatch can be easily budgeted and met via controlled PCB routing. However, PCB SI degradation is not as easy-to-determine.
In an attempt to minimize the signal integrity analysis that would otherwise be required, the following PCB design guidelines provide a reference of an interconnect system that satisfies both waveform quality and timing requirements (accounting for both PCB routing mismatch and PCB SI degradation). Deviation from these recommendations can work, but must be confirmed with PCB signal integrity analysis or lab measurements.

Stubs: Avoid stubs.
Termination Requirements: DMD interface: None – The DMD receiver is differentially terminated to 100Ω internally.
Connector (DMD-LVDS interface bus only):
High-speed connectors that meet the following requirements can be used:
Routing requirements for right-angle connectors: When using right-angle connectors, P-N pairs must be routed in the same row to minimize delay mismatch. When using right-angle connectors, propagation delay difference for each row must be accounted for on associated PCB etch lengths.
These guidelines will produce a maximum PCB routing mismatch of 4.41mm (0.174 inch) or approximately 30.4ps, assuming 175ps/inch FR4 propagation delay.
These PCB routing guidelines will result in approximately 25ps system setup margin and 25ps system hold margin for the DMD interface after accounting for signal integrity degradation as well as routing mismatch.
Both the DLPC900 output timing parameters and the DMD input timing parameters include timing budget to account for their respective internal package routing skew.
