7:1 LVDS Video Interface for LatticeECP2/M

The 7:1 source synchronous LVDS interface (also known as Channel Link, Flat Link, and Camera Link) is commonly used in video display applications such as consumer electronics, industrial control, medical imaging, and automotive telematics. Lattice's 7:1 LVDS Video Interface Reference Design has been optimized for use with the LatticeECP2/M family of FPGAs. The reference design implements standard 7:1 LVDS interfaces using the LatticeECP2/M I/O structure. Transmit and receive interfaces are fully and efficiently implemented by specifically taking advantage of dedicated LVDS I/O, the generic DDR I/O interface, 2x gearing, and PLL clocking of edge and system clocks. Data formatting is also accomplished using dedicated 4:7 deserializer modules.
