The FPD-Link evaluation kit includes a transmitter (Tx) board, a receiver (Rx) board and interfacing cables. This kit shows the chipsets interfacing from test equipment or a graphics controller using low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) to a receiver board.
The transmitter board accepts LVTTL/LVCMOS RGB signals from the graphics controller along with the clock signal. The LVDS transmitter converts the LVTTL/LVCMOS parallel lines into four serialized LVDS data pairs plus a LVDS clock. The serial data streams toggle at 3.5 times the clock rate.
The receiver board accepts the LVDS serialized data streams plus clock and converts the data back into parallel LVTTL/LVCMOS RGB signals and clock for the panel timing controller.
