LM2512ASN/NOPB

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The LM2512ASN/NOPB is a Mobile Pixel Link (MPL-1) serializer manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed RGB display interfaces. It converts 28 LVCMOS parallel inputs into three MPL serial outputs with a data rate of 468 Mbps. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.6 V to 3 V and supports an ambient operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. It is housed in a 49-NFBGA package measuring 4x4 mm, suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Integrates a 24-bit RGB display interface serializer with optional dithering and look-up table capabilities.
• Converts low-voltage CMOS parallel signals into Mobile Pixel Link compliant serial streams.
• Supports flexible input configurations through multiple selectable pin assignments.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Mobile Pixel Link (MPL-1) compliant display interfaces
• RGB LCD panel driver circuits

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ASN' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm exact temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with MPL-1 host controllers. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the latest datasheet revision. Validate footprint dimensions against the 49-NFBGA mechanical drawing before finalizing PCB layout.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated MPL-1 serializer is required for mobile display applications. Compare input count and output speed against alternative serializers if system bandwidth requirements differ. Verify that the 1.6 V to 3 V supply range aligns with the target system's power architecture. Consider thermal performance within the specified -30°C to 85°C range for the intended enclosure.
