THCV235_THCV236_Rev.3.30_E
THCV235 and THCV236
SerDes transmitter and receiver with bi-directional transceiver
General Description
The THCV235 and THCV236 are designed to
support video data transmission between the host and
display.
One high-speed lane can carry up to 32bit data and
3bits of synchronizing signals at a pixel clock
frequency from 6MHz to 160MHz by converting
RGB444 to YCbCr422.
The chipset, which has one high-speed data lane,
can transmit video data up to 1080p/60Hz.
The maximum serial data rate is 4.00Gbps/lane.

SUBMODE : Sub-Link Mode Select when PDN1=1.
0: 2-wire serial interface(I/F) Mode(default No Clock
Stretching mode)
1: Low Speed Data Bridge Mode
Forbid the different setting between THCV235 and THCV236.
LOCKN : Lock Detect Input when PDN1=0.
MSSEL : Sub-Link Master/Slave Select when PDN1=1.
0 : Sub-Link Master side(inside 2-wire serial I/F is slave)
1 : Sub-Link Slave side(inside 2-wire serial I/F is master)
Sub-Link Master is connected to HOST MPU.
Forbid the same setting between THCV235 and THCV236.
LATEN : Latch select input under Field BET(Main-Link or
Sub-Link).
0 : NOT Latched result
1 : Latched result
SD3 : Sub-Link Data Input/Output when PDN1=1 and
SUBMODE=1.
When Sub-Link is Master (MSSEL=0), SD3 is output.
When Sub-Link is Slave (MSSEL=1), SD3 is input.
AIN1 : Device ID setting for 2-wire serial I/F when
SUBMODE=0 and MSSEL=0. See Table 26.
GPIO4 : General Purpose Input/Output when SUBMODE=0
and MSSEL=1.
When GPIO4 is used as Open-Drain Output, it must be
connected with a pull-up resistor to VDD.
When GPIO4 is used as push pull output or input, no external
component is required.
