General Description

The SiI 141B uses PanelLink Digital technology to support displays ranging from VGA to High Refresh XGA (25-86 MHz), which is ideal for LCD desktop monitor applications. With a flexible single or dual pixel out interface and selectable output drive, the SiI 141B receiver supports up to true color panels (24 bit/pixel, 16.7M colors) in 1 pixel/clock mode (18 bit/pixel in 2 pixel/clock mode). PanelLink also features an inter-pair skew tolerance up to 1 full input clock cycle. The SiI 141B is pin for pin compatible with the SiI 141 but incorporates a number of enhancements. These include an improved jitter tolerant PLL design, new HSYNC filter and power down when the clock is inactive. All PanelLink products are designed on a scaleable CMOS architecture to support future performance requirements while maintaining the same logical interface. System designers can be assured that the interface will be fixed through a number of technology and performance generations.
