2. General Description
The Lontium LT8918L is a high performance Dual-Port LVDS
to MIPIDSI/CSI-2 bridge chip between AP and mobile display
panel or camera .
LT8918L can be configured as single-port or dual-port with
optional De-SSC function. The bridge deserializes input
LVDS data, decodes packets and converts the formatted
video data stream to MIPIDSI/CSI-2 transmitter output.
For MIPI DSI/CSI-2 output, LT8918L features a single port
MIPI DSI or CSI-2 transmitter with 1 high-speed clock lane
and 1~4 configurable high-speed data lanes operating at
maximum 1.5Gb/s/lane, which can support a total bandwidth
of up to 6Gb/s. LT8918L supports both Non-Burst and Burst
DSI video data transferring, as well as Command Mode
through Lane-0.
The LT8918L is fabricated in advanced CMOS process and
implemented in a small outline 7.5mm x 7.5mm QFN64
package. This package is RoHS compliant and specified to
operate from -40°C to +85°C.

6. Pinning Information
To improve signal integrity, all differential pairs should be routed with 100Ω±10% differential impedance. Maximum trace length
mismatch should be less than 5mil and keep total trace length to a minimum for all differential traces. Routing differential pairs on
the top or bottom layer with no vias as on signal path is highly recommended.
For crystal oscillator, keep XTALI/XTALO as short as possible and away from noisy signal source. Minimize parasitic
capacitances on these two pins and shield them with clean ground lines.
To minimize the power supply noise floor, at least one 0.1μF and one 0.01μF decoupling capacitor is recommended to be
installed near all the LT8918L 1.8V power pins. To avoid large current loops and trace inductance, the trace length between
decoupling capacitor and device power inputs pins must be minimized.
