Texas Instruments LM4308
The LM4308 device adapts a 18-bit CPU style display interfaces to a MPL-2 SLVS differential serial link for displays. Both WRITE and READ operations are supported. The interconnect is reduced from 23 signals to only 4 active signals with the LM4308 chipset easing flex interconnect design, size constraints and cost.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
Two chip selects support a main and sub display up to and beyond 640 x 480 pixels. A mode pin configures the device as a Master (MST) or Slave (SLV). Both WRITE and READ operations are supported. CPU interface widths below 18-bits are supported by tieing unused inputs to a static level. The differential line drivers and receivers conform to the JEDEC SLVS Standard.
