PRODUCTION DATA
The TFP401A-Q1 is a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) compliant digital receiver that is used in digital flat panel display systems to receive and decode T.M.D.S. encoded RGB pixel data streams. In a digital display system a host, usually a PC or workstation, contains a DVI compliant transmitter that receives 24 bit pixel data along with appropriate control signals and encodes them into a high speed low voltage differential serial bit stream fit for transmission over a twisted-pair cable to a display device. The display device, usually a flat-panel monitor, will require a DVI compliant receiver like the TI TFP401A-Q1 to decode the serial bit stream back to the same 24 bit pixel data and control signals that originated at the host. This decoded data can then be applied directly to the flat panel drive circuitry to produce an image on the display. Since the host and display can be separated by distances up to 5 meters or more, serial transmission of the pixel data is preferred. The TFP401A-Q1 will support resolutions up to UXGA.
