Products to Replace Short-Supply LVDS ICs

Introduction

Due to Semiconductor supply shortages, it is harder than ever to find standard IC products. If you are having trouble finding the LVDS ICs you need, check with THine for alternative solutions.

Why THine LVDS? - Decades of Excellence

With serving Display and Camera customers in Japan for decades, THine Electronics has market proven reputation for LVDS products.

LVDS Standard is defined by TIA/EIA-644 and IEEE 1596.3

Higher Performance

While LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) is defined as an industrial standard (TIA/EIA-644 and IEEE 1596.3), the performance of both transmitters and receivers may affect design evaluation and validation process.

THine’s LVDS Tx (Transmitter) products in general have less output skew, and bigger and clearer signal eye pattern.

tTOP, the timing gap between CLK and Data also known as output skew, is one of key factors. (The smaller, the better.) If the tTOP is too large, Rx may not be able to receive the data properly.

THine’s LVDS Rx (Receiver) products in general have larger input skew margin.

tRIP, the timing gap between CLK and Data acceptable to the Rx device also known as input skew margin, is one of key factors for LVDS Rx. (The larger, the better.) If the Rx receives LVDS input with too large tRIP, the data is not received properly.

Intense Support and Japan Quality

THine Electronics has served video interfacing applications in TV and related consumer market since 1992, establishing outstanding reputation for its reliable products and intense support. Partnering with global reputable foundries and assembly companies, THine manages the whole manufacturing process in Japan. Some of its LVDS products are more than 20 years old. THine has never ended life of any LVDS product without providing succeeding product.

How to Find the Right THine Products

THine’s SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) products are available at Digi-Key.

Key parameters for THine LVDS products are:

  • Tx (TTL/CMOS to LVDS), Rx (LVDS to TTL/CMOS), or Repeater (LVDS to LVDS)

  • Video bit count (8bit or 10bit)

    • 8bit products cover 6bit video.

  • Video port count (single or double)

    • Some double-port products support Single-in Single-out, Single-in Dual-out, Dual-in Single-out, and Dual-in Dual-out.

  • Distribution (Replication) mode

    • In this mode, Single-input is replicated to Double output (2 streams of the same video).

THine Solutions would be more than happy to learn your application and try to coordinate workable solutions for you. If you do not find the right parts, do not hesitate to ask us!
