General Description

The LM2506 device adapts RGB style display interfaces to the Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Level zero serial link. The LM2506 supports one RGB display at up to 18-bit color depth and 800 X 300 pixels (over 216 Mbps and 13.2 MHz PCLK) is supported. A mode pin configures the device as a Serializer (SER) or Deserializer (DES) so the same chip can be used on both sides of the interface.

The interconnect is reduced from 22 signals to only 3 active signals with the LM2506 chipset easing flex interconnect design, size constraints and cost.

The LM2506 in SER 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 DES located near the display module.

When the Power_Down (PD*) input is asserted on the SER, the MDn and MC line drivers are powered down to save current. The DES can be controlled by a separate Power_Down input or via a signal from the SER (PD_OUT*).

The LM2506 implements the physical layer of the MPL Level 0 Standard (MPL-0) and a 150 µA I_B current (Class 0).

Reliability Metrics

Part Number	Process	EFR Sample Size	LTA Device Hours	FITS	MTTF (Hours)
LM2506GR	CMOS9T	2160	2397152	2	680198425
LM2506GRX	CMOS9T	2160	2397152	2	680198425

LM2506SQX	CMOS9T	2160	2397152	2	680198425

Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
