DIGITAL-LOGIC AG MPC40/A/B/C, MPC41 Manual V1.4C

4.18.2 General Description:

The SiI 160 transmitter uses PanelLink Digital technology to support displays ranging from VGA to UXGA

resolutions (25-165 MHz). The SiI 160 transmitter supports up to true color panels (24 bit/pixel, 16.7M colors)

in 1 or 2 pixels/clock mode, and also features an inter-pair skew tolerance up to 1 full input clock cycle. An

advanced on-chip jitter filter is also added to extend tolerance to VGA clock jitter. Since all PanelLink prod-

ucts are designed on scaleable CMOS architecture to support future performance requirements while main-

taining the same logical interface, system designers can be assured that the interface will be fixed through a

number of technology and performance generations. PanelLink Digital technology simplifies PC & display

interface design by resolving many of the system level issues associated with high-speed digital design, pro-

viding the system designer with a digital interface solution that is quicker to market and lower in cost.

Features:

• Scaleable Bandwidth: 25-165 MHz (VGA to UXGA)

• Low Power: 3.3V core operation

• High Skew Tolerance: 1 full input clock cycle (6ns at 165 MHz)

• Flexible panel interface: single or dual pixel in at up to 24-bits

• Cable Distance Support: over 5m with twisted-pair, fiber-optics ready

• Compliant with DVI 1.0 (DVI is backwards compatible with VESA® P&DTM and DFP)

Transmitter from Silicon Image: SIL 160
