SN75LVDS82 LCD image distortion, sync signal inversion

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN75LVDS82, SN65LVDS94

Hello:  (I am posting this for a customer -- G Biner, TI AFA Los Angeles)

      ... we are using the SN75LVDS82 IC to convert a 18bit LVDS video signal to a TTL signal to drive a Sharp 640x480 10.4 inch LCD. What I am seeing is some distortion on the LCD screen, as seen on the picture attached. I am also seeing that the VSYNC and HSYNC signal are inverted to what I expected, as seen on the attached document.

Is there anything else I can do to try to fix the distortion?

Is there any white papers that will help it his matter?

Is there another IC that is better suited for my application?

  • What pixel clock are you running at? (this is of course based on refresh rate and blanking)

    The standard clock for 640x480@60Hz is 25.175MHz.  If you are running at that, that could be your problem, as the LVDS82 is spec'd for 31-68MHz.  The LVDS94 is pin-compatible and supports 20-68MHz.

    Thanks,

  •  I am starting a new LVDS-toTTL design for LCD display and I was planning on using the 75LVDS82.

      Would the 65LVDS94 be a better part to use with its extended frequency range?

     

       Thanks

  • If you are running at the lower pixel frequency, then yes, I would recommend the SN65LVDS94.  Of course the SN75LVDS82 has a higher upper end frequency, so it depends on the pixel clock range you need to support.  The above example is a relatively low pixel frequency, so the LVDS94 would be the best fiot for that application. 

  • Ralph, if your pixel frequency is within the supported range of both the LVDS82 and LVDS94, then either device will equally work.

    LVDS94  -  4:28, 20-68MHz, -40C to 85C
    LVDS82  -  4:28, 31-68MHz, 0C to 70C

    Thanks,
