Hello, i'm new here.
I'm designing a hobby project with xilinx FPGA and a TFT display from a dead desktop PC monitor.
My goal is to display video from analog Composite source, using Analog's ADV7180 SD video decoder. The TFT display which I would like to use (hsd190men3) has 1280x1024 pixel resolution, 24bit RGB, dual LVDS. The odd and even pixels are sent simultaneously in another LVDS channel.
Because it has bigger resolution that I ever need, I tought it will be ok to send the same data on the even and odd channel, reducing the horizontal resolution.
The LVDS driver what I would like to use is the DS90C385. This chip can handle one of the two LVDS channels. Because of this I need 2 of this IC, feeding the two chip the same signal.
So this leads to my question: Should I use two of this ICs feeding them with the same signal (the disadvantage: more cost, complicated PCB), Or I could just use one IC and connect its outputs into the LCD-s even and odd pixel LVDS channel inputs simultaneously? (I would like to do the last alternative :grin: )
Thank you
