Abstract
A LVDS and TMDS dualfunction transmitter for both LVDS and TMDS output channels is disclosed, including an encoder and a serializer. The encoder encodes twenty eight bits of LVDS signals to thirty bits of TMDS signals. The serializer includes four serializer channels for converting the LVDS signals to a serial signal when a LVDS mode is enabled, or converting the TMDS signals to the serial signal when a TMDS mode is enabled. Wherein a first serializer channel is coupled to seven bits of the LVDS signals and outputting a first pair of differential signals. Second, third and fourth serializer channel are coupled to seven bits of the LVDS signals and ten bits of TMDS signals, and outputting a second, third and fourth pair of differential signals, respectively.
