LM2507 Low Power Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Level 0, 16-bit CPU Display interface Serializer and Deserializer August 2006 LM2507 Low Power Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Level 0, 16-bit CPU Display interface Serializer and Deserializer General 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).
