LONDON, Ontario -- November 7, 2007 --Microtronix® today announced the launch of the Video LVDS SerDes Transmitter / Receiver IP Core targeted at the burgeoning high resolution 1080p 100/120 LCD panel display systems. The core provides a complete, easy-to-use Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) solution for interfacing HD video systems to Flat Panel displays. By adding a Video LVDS SerDes capability to the low-cost Cyclone II & III family of FPGA devices, the core leverages their price-performance advantage for high-volume consumer applications.
The core is designed to interface with high-resolution flat panel monitors incorporating an “All Digital†low EMI LVDS connection. It is designed to support pixel data transmissions from a Host System to a Flat Panel Display ranging from VGA to UXGA resolutions using 8 or 10-bit video data. The core is fully configurable via an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) which sets the standard for ease of design, usability, and functionality. It can be configured to support Open LDL, VESA, JEIDA or other video data encoding formats with minimal work effort.
“The Microtronix Video LVDS SerDes Transmitter / Receiver IP Core not only simplifies the design of video LVDS interfaces, it improves data integrity and timing margins†said Philippe Morin, VP Sales & Marketing. “For example: the Transmitter generates the LVDS TxClock synchronous to the video data stream without the need to fine tune a PLL to the outputted LVDS data, and the Receiver auto aligns the RxClock to the encoded video to assure data synchronization.â€
The Microtronix Video LVDS Ser/Des Transmitter / Receiver IP Core supports both Cyclone II and III devices. A risk free evaluation is available for download at: http://www.microtronix.com/ip. IP core development is supported with the Microtronix ViClaro III HD Video Display Panel IP Development Platform and a complimentary set of high-performance Multi-port SDRAM Memory Controller IP Cores.
