SN65DSI84: I'm trying to connect a 20.3" LCD (3840 x 720) using SN65DSI84. At this time, can the DSI mipi run 20.3" LCD (3840 x 720) with 4lane 1ea in CM4?

I have an inquiry.
I'm trying to connect a 20.3" dual LVDS LCD (3840 x 720) using SN65DSI84. By the way, I'm trying to use 4lane 1ea for DSI-mipi with SN65DSI84 as shown below. Can I run a 20.3" dual LVDS LCD (3840 x 720)?

Below is the 20.3" dual LVDS LCD Datasheet.

  • Hi,

    This previous FAQ has some information for the DSI to LVDS devices' resolution: https://e2e.ti.com/support/interface-group/interface/f/interface-forum/945185/faq-sn65dsi84-sn65dsi83-sn65dsi84-and-sn65dsi85-resolution-guide

    From the display datasheet you shared, assuming 24 bpp 

    LVDS_CLK = (Htotal * Vtotal * frame_rate) / 2   
                       =  (4000 * 741 * 60 )/2   
                       =    (177.84 MHz) /2
                       = 88.92 MHz, which is within the 25 to 154 MHz LVDS clock range

    Using SN65DSI84, with 4 DSI data lanes

    DSI_CLK = (2 * LVDS_CLK * bpp)/(2 * number_of_DSI_lanes)
                    = (2 * 88.82 MHz * 24)/(2 * 4)
                    = 533.520 MHz, which is not within the 500 MHz DSI clock limit for the SN65DSI84




    However, using the SN65DSI85 with 8 data lanes,

    DSI_CLK = (2 * LVDS_CLK * bpp)/(2 * number_of_DSI_lanes)
                    = (2 * 88.82 MHz * 24)/(2 * 8)
                    = 266.76 MHz, which is not within the 500 MHz limit for the SN65DSI85



    Please consider using the SN65DSI85 instead with 8 MIPI DSI data lanes.

  • Thank you for your answer, Ikram

    Our solution does not run videos through 20.3" LCD, but only weather or fine dust is updated once at a certain time on the picture screen, so it doesn't matter if the bpp is 18 bits.


    If I use 18 bits of bpp, can I connect the dual LVDS's 20.3" LCD in the form I inquired about?

    Best regards

  • Hello,

    For the bandwidth I assumed 24 bpp, so 18 bpp also be within the ranges I mentioned. The datasheet mentions that both 18 bpp and 24 bpp are supported.

    Please check that I recommended using the DSI85 part due to the video bandwidth required.

    Best regards,
    Ikram
