Lattice Semiconductor has developed and supported a number of reference designs for display interfaces in various devices. A display interface is now available in the MachXO2 PLD family. Because this interface is now supported in MachXO2 devices, designers have an even lower cost and very low power alternative to implement embedded displays. As described in this white paper, the MachXO2 provides a compelling choice for this application. 

The display interface is a 7:1 LVDS interface. In the following white paper, we will provide an overview of this display standard and explain how key hardware features in MachXO2 devices enable this implementation. In addition, the details of available reference designs and relevant application examples will be reviewed.
