LM2506SQX/NOPB

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The LM2506SQX/NOPB is a low-power Mobile Pixel Link (MPL) Level 0 serializer and deserializer designed for RGB display interfaces. It supports up to 18-bit color depth and resolutions up to 800 x 300 pixels at 50 frames per second. The device reduces interconnect signals from 22 to three active lines using MPL physical layer technology. It operates with a core/analog supply voltage range of 1.74V to 2.0V and an I/O supply voltage range of 1.74V to 3.0V. The component functions within an ambient temperature range of -30°C to +85°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Configurable as either a Serializer or Deserializer via the M/S* pin, allowing identical hardware usage on both ends of the link.
• Reduces parallel RGB interface complexity by transmitting data over only three active MPL signal lines.
• Includes intrinsic level translation capabilities between host logic levels and display interface requirements.
• Supports automatic power-down modes to minimize quiescent current consumption during idle states.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Mobile pixel link interfaces for mobile processors connecting to graphics displays
• Embedded systems requiring low EMI transmission for LCD arrays
• Baseband processor connections to QVGA or ½SVGA display modules

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability records for production deployment.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when minimizing flex cable count and reducing electromagnetic interference are critical design constraints. Evaluate system compatibility with the MPL Level 0 protocol overhead. Verify that the target display resolution falls within the supported 18-bit color depth limits.
