3 Development Board Circuit 3.9 MIPI/LVDS 3.9 MIPI/LVDS 3.9.1 Overview Two 2 mm DC3-20P sockets are reserved in the development board for MIPI/LVDS input/output performance testing and high-speed data transmission. Up to 10 pairs of differential input and 10 pairs of differential output can be satisfied.
4 Considerations Considerations Considerations for the use of the development board: 1. Handle with care and pay attention to electrostatic protection; 2. VCCO2 Bank voltage needs to be set as 2.5V when the Bank2 output differential pairs serve as LVDS output; VCCO2 Bank voltage needs to be set as 1.2V when the Bank2 output differential pairs serve as MIPI output.
