PRODUCTION DATA
The DS90UB635-Q1 serializes data from high-resolution image sensors or other sensors using the MIPI CSI-2 interface. The DS90UB635-Q1 serializer is optimized to interface with the DS90UB63x-Q1 deserializers, the DS90UB66x-Q1 deserializers (quad hubs), as well as other potential future deserializers. The interconnect between the serializer and the deserializer can be either a coaxial cable or shielded-twisted pair (STP) cable. The DS90UB635-Q1 was designed to support multi-sensor systems such as surround view, and as such has the ability to synchronize sensors through the DS90UB63x-Q1 and DS90UB66x-Q1 hubs.
The DS90UB635-Q1 serializer and companion deserializer incorporate an I2C-compatible interface. The I2C-compatible interface allows programming of serializer or deserializer devices from a local host controller. In addition, the devices incorporate a bidirectional control channel (BCC) that allows communication between the serializer and deserializer, as well as between remote I2C target devices.
The bidirectional control channel (BCC) is implemented through embedded signaling in the high-speed forward channel (serializer to deserializer), combined with lower speed signaling in the reverse channel (deserializer to serializer). Through this interface, the BCC provides a mechanism to bridge I2C transactions across the serial link from one I2C bus to another.
