LVDS Display Interface with i.MX6Q

[r2]

Hello,

  I need to interface an OLED display with an i.MX6Q using both i.MX6Q LVDS channels. Parameters for the devices are shown below and the OLED LVDS pin equivalent circuit is attached.  The receiver does not have internal termination so I will use a couple of 50R resistors on each LVDS pair.  Does the interface also require voltage level converters?  If so, is there a suitable IC to accomplish this?

Thank you.

Thanks, Igor,

     The specification compliance is certainly the issue.  I can use voltage dividers to keep the i.MX6 output within the OLED input specifications but I could use some advice on handling the differential voltage mismatch.  The i.MX6 can have a differential of up to 450 mV and the OLED spec shows a maximum differential of 300 mV.  If I keep voltages below the OLED VI_max (1.5V) is there any adverse impact with the 450 mV differential?

Respectfully

Hi Rodney

for i.MX6Q LVDS parameters one can look at

sect.4.12.11 LVDS Display Bridge (LDB) Module Parameters

i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processors for Consumer Products - Data Sheet

If lcd complies with LVDS interface TIA/EIA 644-A standard no converters are needed.

For termination/layout one can check guidelines provided in

IMX6DQ6SDLHDG, Hardware Development Guide for i.MX 6Quad, 6Dual, 6DualLite, 6Solo Families of Applic...
