Then an implementation is shown which implements a Data and Clock Recovery mechanism and a Synchronization and Packetization module in FPGA logic. The implementation has been tested and can serve serialized LVDS camera interfaces of 300 Mbps and higher. While the approach has been implemented for and been tested on a Missing Link Electronics 1000 Series Rapid Prototyping System, it can easily be adapted to other FPGA-based electronic designs. It can also be extended to drive LVDS-based TFT displays. Copyright \u00a9 2026 Missing Link Electronics. All rights reserved.
