Hello,
I am pretty new to the field of circuit design but I am keen to
learn. I would like to build a circuit for a project I am working
on. The design is extemely simple as far as I can see, however, it
uses a surface mount chip. Basically I want to convert TTL video
signals to LVDS. i.e. connector from graphics output -> converter IC -
I am thinking of using a chip similar to http://www.national.com/ds/DS/DS90C363.pdf
Basically I am not so sure I know exactly what is involved and can't
seem to find the information to help me. For example, I assume I
can't just create a design which simply wires up the connectors to the
IC? Some resistors are neccesary? Although I don't know why or how
to calculate their values.
I want to create the design in the Eagle Layour Editor and get the PCB
made by a 3rd party (I assume DIY methods would be hopeless at create
0.5mm pitch designs?).
If anybody could shed any light on how to proceed with this project I
would be most grateful.
Many Thanks
