When using LVDS high-speed I/F using Dynamic Phase Alignment (DPA), is the DPA initialization sequence necessary?

IP

Yes.

The DPA function dynamically aligns the bits of received data when using a high-speed LVDS interface, so it is possible to receive data correctly without having to consider equal-length wiring between data and clock. However, it is necessary to execute the initialization sequence for proper bit alignment after reset release. Basically, multiple streams of data toggling 0,1 identify the optimal phase position for the DPA to capture the incoming data.
