  • Description

    The LM2507 device adapts i80 CPU style display interfaces to the Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Level zero serial link. When using smart CPU type interfaces, two chip selects support a main and sub display. A mode pin configures the device as a Master (MST) or Slave (SLV) so the same chip can be used on both sides of the interface.

    The interconnect is reduced from 21 signals to only 3 active signals with the LM2507 chipset easing flex interconnect design, size constraints and cost.

    The LM2507 in MST mode resides beside an application, graphics or baseband processor and translates a parallel bus from LVCMOS levels to serial Mobile Pixel Link levels for transmission over a flex cable (or coax) and PCB traces to the SLV located near the display module(s).

    When the Power_Down (PD*) input is asserted on the Master, the MDn and MC line drivers are powered down to save current. The Slave is controlled by a separate Power_Down input.

    The LM2507 implements the physical layer of the MPL Level 0 Standard (MPL-0) and a 150 μA IB current (Class 0).
