Commonly employed in flat panel display (FPD) designs, LVDS is a signalling method for providing high-speed transmission of binary data over copper lines. The low-voltage differential swing is used to deliver higher transmission speeds and inherently higher bandwidths at lower power consumptions when compared to conventional single-ended transmission technologies.
Flat Panel Display (FPD) LVDS Transmitter Dual Link
Offering seamless integration into Toshiba’s advanced TC320 65nm (CMOS5) 1.2V low-power process, this IP block can convert up to 60 bits of RGB picture signal data and up to 12 bits of control signal data into 10 or 12 low-voltage differential swing (LVDS) streams.
In Dual Link mode at a transmit clock frequency of 85MHz, 72 bits of RGB and control data can be transmitted at an effective rate of 595Mbps per LVDS channel.

Flat Panel Display (FPD) LVDS Receiver Link
Offering seamless integration into Toshiba’s advanced TC320 65nm (CMOS5) 1.2V low-power process, this IP block receives synchronous data along with the corresponding pixel clock information via an LVDS interface.
Incoming data is sampled by an internally generated high-speed clock and differential serial data is converted into a 7-bit parallel CMOS output for each channel by each pixel clock cycle.
This IP supports single link transmission between the host and the LVDS link at clock speeds of up to 150MHz. For frequencies below 20MHz, the cell offers LVDS feed-through signals to the SoC core. An on-chip high-speed clock generation block is used to multiply the received clock signal and synchronise it with the incoming data.
