LM2512A Mobile Pixel Link (MPL-1), 24-Bit RGB Display Interface Serializer with Optional  
Dithering and Look Up Table  
Check for Samples: LM2512A

FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LM2512A is a MPL Serializer (SER) that  
performs a 24-bit to 18-bit Dither operation and  
serialization of the video signals to Mobile Pixel link  
(MPL) levels on only 3 or 4 active signals. An optional  
Look Up Table (Three X 256 X 8 bit RAM) is also  
provided for independent color correction. 18-bit  
Bufferless or partial buffer displays from QVGA (320  
x 240) up to VGA (640 x 480) pixels can utilize a 24-  
bit video source.

Correction  
MPL-1 Physical Layer  
SPI Interface for Look Up Table Control and  
Loading  
The interconnect is reduced from 28 signals to only 3  
or 4 active signals with the LM2512A and companion  
deserializer easing flex interconnect design, size  
constraints and cost.  
Low Power Consumption & Powerdown State  
Level Translation Between Host and Display  
Optional Auto Power Down on STOP PCLK  
Frame Sequence Bits Auto Resync upon Data  
or Clock Error  
The LM2512A SER resides by the application,  
graphics or baseband processor and translates the  
wide parallel video bus from LVCMOS levels to serial  
Mobile Pixel Link levels for transmission over a flex  
cable (or coax) and PCB traces to the DES located  
near or in the display module.  
1.6V to 2.0V Core / Analog Supply Voltage  
1.6V to 3.0V I/O Supply Voltage Range  
SYSTEM BENEFITS  
When in Power_Down, the SER is put to sleep and  
draws less than 10μA. The link can also be powered  
down by stopping the PCLK (DES dependant) or by  
the PD* input pins.  
Dithered Data Reduction  
Independent RGB Color Correction  
24-bit Color Input  
The LM2512A provides enhanced AC performance  
over the LM2512. It implements the physical layer of  
the MPL-1 and uses a single-ended current-mode  
transmission.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The LM2512A is a Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Serializer that serializes a 24-bit RGB plus three control signals (VS,  
HS, and DE) to two or three MPL MD lines plus the serial clock MC. Two options are provided: 24-bit RGB data  
dithering to 18 bits, and an optional Look Up Table. The three 256 X 8-bit RAMs may also be used and is  
controlled via a 3-wire SPI interface. The LM2512A is compatible with certain discrete MPL Deserializers and  
also Display Drivers with integrated MPL Deserializers (i.e. FPD95320).

BUS OVERVIEW  
The LM2512A is a multi-lane MPL Serializer that supports a 24-bit RGB source interface. The MPL physical layer  
is purpose-built for an extremely low power and low EMI data transmission while requiring the fewest number of  
signal lines. No external line components are required, as termination is provided internal to the MPL receiver. A  
maximum raw throughput of 480 Mbps (3-lane raw) is possible with this chipset. The MPL interface is designed  
for use with common 50to 100lines using standard materials and connectors. Lines may be microstrip or  
stripline construction. Total length of the interconnect is expected to be less than 20cm.

SERIAL BUS PHASES  
There are three bus phases on the MPL serial bus. These are determined by the state of the MC and MD lines.  
The MPL bus phases are shown in Table 1.  
The LM2512A supports MPL Level 0 Enhanced Protocol with a Class 0 PHY.

L = Logic Low—The higher level of current on the MC and MD lines  
H = Logic High—The lower level of current on the MC and MD lines  
X = Low or High  
A = Active Clock  
SERIAL BUS START UP TIMING  
In the Serial Bus OFF phase, SER line drivers for MDs and MC are turned off such that zero current flows over  
the MPL lines. On the SER side, when the PD* input pin is de-asserted (driven High), or with PD* = High and the  
PCLK is turned on, the SER will power up its bias block during t0.  
The SER will next drive the MC line to the logic Low (5I current) state for 200 PCLK cycles (t1). The DES devices  
detects the current flowing in the MC line, and powers up its analog circuit blocks (or alternately is controlled by  
its PD* input pin - device specific).  
The SER then drives the MC line to a logic High (1I current) for 20 PCLK cycles (t2). On the MC low-to-high  
transition, the DES samples the current and optimizes it current sources to match that of the drivers.  
The MC is now driven to a logic Low (5I current) for 8 PCLK cycles (t3).  
Next the SER PLL is locked to the PCLK. A hold off counter of 600 PCLK cycles is used to hold off until the PLL  
has locked and is stable (t4). At this point, streaming RGB information is now sent across the MPL link.  
Link-Up is shown in Figure 9. The MC and MDn signals are current waveforms. Data at the DES output will  
appear a latency delay later.

OFF PHASE  
In the OFF phase, MPL transmitters are turned off with zero current flowing on the MC and MDn lines. Figure 10  
shows the transition of the MPL bus into the OFF phase. If an MPL line is driven to a logical Low (high current)  
when the OFF phase is entered it may temporarily pass through as a logical High (low current) before reaching  
the zero line current state. The link may be powered down by asserting both the SER’s and DES’s PD* input pins  
(Low) or by stopping the PCLK (DES dependant). This causes the devices to immediately put the link to the OFF  
Phase and internally enter a low power state.

RGB VIDEO INTERFACE  
The LM2512A is transparent to data format and control signal timing. Each PCLK, RGB inputs, HS, VS and DE  
are sampled on the rising edge of the PCLK. A PCLK by PCLK representation of these signals is duplicated on  
the opposite device after being transferred across the MPL Level-0 interface.  
The LM2512A can accommodate a wide range of display formats. QVGA to VGA can be supported within the  
2MHz to 20 MHz PCLK input range.  
The 24-bit RGB (R0-7, G0-7, B0-7) color information is dithered to 18 bits then serialized, followed by the control  
bits VS (VSYNC), HS (HSYNC), DE (Data Enable) and PE (Odd Parity) and Frame Sequence (F[1:0]) bits.  
The default configuration is for 2 MD lanes plus the MC. Via the SPI Interface, the Serializer can be configured  
for a 3 MD Lane configuration.  
When transporting color depth below 24-bit, the 24-bit protocol can be used by offsetting the color data. The  
LSBs of the RGB are not used and data is offset toward the upper (MSB) end of the bit fields. Unused inputs  
should be tied off.  
At a maximum PCLK of 20 MHz (3MDs), a 80MHz MC clock is generated. The data lane rate uses both clock  
edges, thus 160Mbps (raw) are sent per MD lane.

Serial Payload Parity Bit  
Odd Parity is calculated on the RGB bits, control (VS, HS, and DE) bits and F0, F1 bits and then sent from the  
SER to the DES via the serial PE bit. This is included for compatibility with certain MPL Deserializers.  
Synchronization Detect and Recovery  
If a data error or clock slip error occurs over the MPL link, the RGB MPL Deserializer can detect this condition  
and recover from it. The method chosen is a data transparent method, and has very little overhead because it  
does not use a data expansion coding method. For the Dithered 18-bit color transaction, it uses two bits that are  
already required in the 4 MC cycle transaction. Total overhead for each pixel is 3/24 or 12.5%.  
The LM2512A MPL RGB Serializer simply increments the two bit field F[1:0] on every pixel (MPL frame)  
transmitted. Therefore every four MPL frames, the pattern will repeat. It is very unlikely that this pattern would be  
found within the payload data, and if it were found, the probability that it would repeat for many frames becomes  
infinitely small. This code is used by the MPL Deserializer to detect any frame alignment problems and quickly  
recover.  
The RGB MPL Deserializer, upon a normal power up sequence, starts in the proper synchronization. If  
synchronization is lost for any reason, it searches for the incrementing pattern. Once found, it resynchronizes the  
output pixel data and timing signals. See MPL DES Datasheet for details on how the specific DES handles the  
Frame Sequence.  
OPTIONAL DITHERING FEATURE  
The LM2512A is a 2 or 3-Lane MPL Serializer, 24-bit RGB input data (8-bits/color channel) is internally dithered  
to 18-bits (6-bits/color channel) using a high-quality stochastic dithering process. This process has a "blue noise"  
characteristic that minimizes the visibility of the dither patterns. The resulting data stream of 18-bit data is then  
serialized and transmitted via MPL.  
The Dither circuitry requires the VS control signal for proper operation. This signal is used to generate a  
internal signal that marks the start of the (video) frame. The serializer samples and sends the VS information  
unmodified.  
Dithering parameters are controled by two registers. When the dithering is bypassed, only RGB[7:2] is serialized  
and transmitted for 18-bit input RGB [5:0] (MSB aligned). RGB[1:0] should not be connected and the unsed input  
should be tied low; do not leave input open.

OPTIONAL LOOK UP TABLE AND SPI INTERFACE  
Three 256 X 8-bit SRAMs provide a Look Up Table for independent color correction. The LUT is disabled by  
default and also after a device PD* cycle. The PD* cycle can be entered via the PD* input pin directly, or by  
stopping the PCLK. Before using the LUT, the SRAM must be loaded with its contents. If power is cycled to the  
device, the LUT must be loaded again.  
To enable the LUT:  
1. Select/Unlock the LM2512A SPI Interface - Write FF’h to REG22 (16’h)  
2. Write the LUT contents to the SRAM using Writes or Page Writes  
3. Enable the LUT - Write a 01’h to REG0 (00’h)  
4. De-Select/Lock the LM2512A SPI interface -Write 00’h to REG22 (16’h)  
When waking up the LM2512A from the power down mode (PD*=L), the LUT needs to be enabled if it is desired.  
Contents to the SRAM are still held and valid.  
1. Select/Unlock the LM2512A SPI Interface - Write FF’h to REG22 (16’h)  
2. Enable the LUT - Write a 01’h to REG0 (00’h)  
3. Optional -select Lane Scale if not using default  
4. De-Select/Lock the LM2512A SPI interface -Write a 00’h to REG22 (16’h)  
If power is cycled to the device, the LUT SRAMs must be loaded again.  
SPI Interface  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows control over various aspects of the LM2512A, the Look Up Table  
operation, and access to the three 256 x 8-RAM blocks. There are 9 defined registers in the device. Three SPI  
transactions are supported, which are: 16-bit WRITE, PAGE WRITE, and a 16-bit READ. The SPI interface is  
disabled when the device is in the sleep mode (via PCLK Stop or by PD* = L). The SPI interface may be used  
when PD* = H.  
16-bit WRITE  
The 16-bit WRITE is shown in Figure 15. The SDA payload consists of a "0" (Write Command), seven address  
bits and eight data bits. The CSX signal is driven Low, and 16-bits of SDA (data) are sent to the device. Data is  
latched on the rising edge of the SCL. After each 16-bit WRITE, CSX must return HIGH.

The 16-bit READ is shown in Figure 16. The SDA payload consists of a "1" (Read Command), seven address  
bits and eight data bits which are driven from the device. The CSX signal is driven Low, and the host drives the  
first 8 bits of the SDA ("1" and seven address bits), the device then drives the respective 8 bits of the data on the  
SDA signal.

is driven Low, and the host drives the SDA signal with a "0" (Write Command), the seven start address bits and  
the variable length data bytes. The Page Write is denoted by the CSX signal staying low while the data bytes are  
streamed. Data is latched on the rising edge of the SCL.

There are three SPI Interface signals: CSX - SPI Chip Select, SCL - SPI Clock, and SDA - SPI Data. CSX and  
SCL are inputs on the LM2512A. SDA is a bi-directional Data line and is an input for a WRITE and an output for  
the READ_DATA portion of a READ operation. READs are optional and are not required. Due to the  
Select/Unlock – De-Select/Lock feature of the device the SPI interface may be shared with the display driver.  
Several connection configurations are possible. A couple examples are shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14.

Power Up Sequence  
The MPL Link must be powered up and enabled in a certain sequence for proper operation of the link and  
devices. The following list provides the recommended sequence:  
1. Apply Power (See Power Supply Section)  
2. PD* Input should be held low until Power is stable and within specification and PCLK is driven to a static  
level.  
3. PD* is driven HIGH, SPI interface is now available.  
4. To program the device via the SPI interface:  
Select / Unlock the LM2512A, Write FF’h to REG 16’h  
LUT registers are now accessible  
If Lane Scale Register needs to be modified, this is accessed through bit 4 of the Command register.  
A write to REG 16’h on any other value besides FF’h will de-select / lock the LM2512A’s SPI

Figure 19. Power Up Sequence  
A typical connection diagram is shown in Figure 18. The LM2512A SPI is configured to support write only  
transactions in this example. The FPD95320 can support both writes and reads on its SPI interface. Figure 19  
shows a typical power up sequence using the shared SPI interface. Power is brought up first. The RST_N signal  
is held low until power to the FPD95320 (not shown) and the LM2512A is stable and within specifications. Next  
the RST_N signal is driven High, which allows access to the SPI interfaces. The PCLK should also be turned on  
and held at a static level (High or Low). The FPD95320 is selected first via a write to register 16’h and the display  
is initialized. Next a write of FF’h to register 16’h. This command will Lock the FPD95320 SPI interface and  
Select / Unlock the LM2512A SPI interface. By default, the LM2512A powers up in 2 MD lanes with the Dither  
and the LUT disabled. The Look-up Table - LUT is accessible by enabling bit 0 of the command register 00’h.  
The Special Register Access - SRA are also accessible for lane scaling by enabling bit 4 of the command  
register 00’h. To enable the LUT and unlock SRA, write of 11’h to register 00’h (see Table 5). To change to 3 MD  
lanes, write of 04’h to register 0A’h. Next additional commands are sent to the FPD95320 by issuing a Unlock  
command to the FPD95320 register 16’h which also de-selects / locks the LM2512A SPI. After the SPI  
commands are completed, the MPL_PD_N signal is driven High to arm the Deserializer for the MPL start  
sequence. The PCLK is started up, and the SER will calibrate the DES and lock to the incoming PCLK signal.  
Once this is completed, video data transmission occurs and the link is ON.  
Application Configurations  
Many different application configurations are possible with the flexible LM2512A Serializer. These include:  
LM2512A - 2 MD Lane to FPD95320 Display Driver  
LM2512A - 2 MD Lane to LM2506 DES  
LM2512A - 3 MD Lane - Reserved for future use

LM2512A OPERATION  
POWER SUPPLIES  
The VDD and VDDA (MPL and PLL) must be connected to the same potential between 1.6V and 2.0V. VDDIO  
powers the logic interface and may be powered between 1.6V and 3.0V to be compatible with a wide range of  
host and target devices.  
VDD/VDDA should be powered ON at the same time as VDDIO or before. VDDIO then VDD/VDDA is not recommended.  
BYPASS RECOMMENDATIONS  
Bypass capacitors should be placed near the power supply pins of the device. Use high frequency ceramic  
(surface mount recommended) 0.1 µF capacitors. A 2.2 to 4.7 µF Tantalum capacitor is recommended near the  
SER VDDA pin for PLL bypass. Connect bypass capacitors with wide traces and use dual or larger via to reduce  
resistance and inductance of the feeds. Utilizing a thin spacing between power and ground planes will provide  
good high frequency bypass above the frequency range where most typical surface mount capacitors are less  
effective. To gain the maximum benefit from this, low inductance feed points are important. Also, adjacent signal  
layers can be filled to create additional capacitance. Minimize loops in the ground returns also for improved  
signal fidelity and lowest emissions.  
UNUSED/OPEN PINS  
Unused inputs must be tied to the proper input level—do not float them.  
PHASE-LOCKED LOOP  
A PLL is enabled to generate the serial link clock. The Phase-locked loop system generates the serial data clock  
at 4X or 6X of the input clock depending upon the number of MD Lanes selected. The MC rate is limited to 80  
MHz for this enhanced Class 0 MPL PHY.  
POWER DOWN/OFF CONFIGURATION / OPTIONS AND CLOCK STOP  
The LM2512A (SER) can be controlled by it’s PD* input pin or via a auto power down mode that monitors the  
PCLK input signal.  
For PD* Input Power Down control, a GPO signal from the host is used to enable and disable the LM2512A and  
the DES. The LM2512A is enabled when the PD* input is High and disabled when the PD* input is Low.

SNLS269B AUGUST 2007REVISED MAY 2013

When using the auto power down mode, the PD* input needs to be held High. When the PCLK is held static, the  
SER will detect this condition and power down. When the PCLK is restarted, the SER powers up, The DES is  
calibrated, and the PLL locks to the incoming clock signal. Once this is complete, video data transmission can  
occur. See Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 9. The stopping of the pixel clock should be done cleanly. The  
minimum clock stop gap should be at least 4 PCLK cycles wide. Floating of the PCLK input pin is not  
recommended. Consult the MPL DES datasheet to determine requirements that the DES requires.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
SYSTEM BANDWIDTH CALCULATIONS  
For a HVGA (320 X 480) application with the following assumptions: 60 Hz +/5% refresh rate, 10% blanking,  
RGB666, and 2 MD Lanes and following calculations can be made:  
Calculate PCLK - 320 X 480 X 1.1 X 60 X 1.05 = 10.6 MHz PCLK  
Calculate MC rate - since the application is 2 MD lanes, PCLK X 6 is the MC rate or 63.87 MHz. Also check that  
this MC rate does not exceed the MC maximum rate for the chipset.  
Calculate MD rate - MPL uses both edges of the MC to send serialized data, thus data rate is 2X the MC rate, or  
127.7 Mbps per MD lane in our example.  
Calculate the application throughput - using 2 MD lanes, throughput is 2 X of the MD rate or 255.5 Mbps of raw  
band width.  
For a VGA (640 X 480) application with the following assumptions: 55 Hz +/5% refresh rate, 10% blanking,  
RGB666, and 3 MD Lanes and following calculations can be made:  
Calculate PCLK - 640 X 480 X 1.1 X 55 X 1.05 = 19.5 MHz PCLK  
Calculate MC rate - since the application is 3 MD lanes, PCLK X 4 is the MC rate or 78.1 MHz. Also check that  
this MC rate does not exceed the MC maximum rate for the chipset.  
Calculate MD rate - MPL uses both edges of the MC to send serialized data, thus data rate is 2X the MC rate, or  
156 Mbps per MD lane in our example.  
Calculate the application throughput - using 3MD lanes, throughput is 3X of the MD rate or 468 Mbps of raw  
band width.  
SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS  
When employing the MPL SER/DES chipset in place of a parallel video bus, a few system considerations must  
be taken into account. Before sending video data to the display, the SER/DES must be ready to transmit data  
across the link. The MPL link must be powered up, and the PLL must be locked and the DES calibrated.

The MPL lines should generally run together to minimize any trace length differences (skew). For impedance  
control and also noise isolation (crosstalk), guard ground traces are recommended in between the signals.  
Commonly a Ground-Signal-Ground (GSGSGSG) layout is used. Locate fast edge rate and large swing signals  
further away to also minimize any coupling (unwanted crosstalk). In a stacked flex interconnect, crosstalk also  
needs to be taken into account in the above and below layers (vertical direction). To minimize any coupling  
locate MPL traces next to a ground layer. Power rails also tend to generate less noise than LVCMOS so they are  
also good candidates for use as isolation and separation.  
The interconnect from the SER to the DES typically acts like a transmission line. Thus impedance control and  
ground returns are an important part of system design. Impedance should be in the 50 to 100 Ohm nominal  
range for the LM2512A. Testing has been done with cables ranging from 40 to 110 Ohms without error (BER  
Testing). To obtain the impedance, adjacent grounds are typically required (1 layer flex), or a ground shield /  
layer. Total interconnect length is intended to be in the 20cm range, however 30cm is possible at lower data  
rates. Skew should be less than 500ps to maximize timing margins.  
GROUNDING  
While the LM2512A employs three separate types of ground pins, these are intended to be connected together  
to a common ground plane. The separate ground pins help to isolate switching currents from different sections of  
the integrated circuit (IC). Also required is a nearby signal return (ground) for the MPL signals. These should be  
provided next to the MPL signals, as that will create the smallest current loop area. The grounds are also useful  
for noise isolation and impedance control.  
PCB RECOMMENDATIONS  
General guidelines for the PCB design:  
Floor plan, locate MPL SER near the connector to limit chance of cross talk to high speed serial signals.  
Route serial traces together, minimize the number of layer changes to reduce loading.  
Use ground lines as guards to minimize any noise coupling (specifies distance).  
Avoid parallel runs with fast edge, large LVCMOS swings.  
Also use a GSGSG pinout in connectors (Board to Board or ZIF).  
DES device - follow similar guidelines.  
Bypass the device with MLC surface mount devices and thinly separated power and ground planes with low  
inductance feeds.  
High current returns should have a separate path with a width proportional to the amount of current carried to  
minimize any resulting IR effects.
