SNLS696C April 2021 – July 2024 TSER953
PRODUCTION DATA
When initializing the communications link between a deserializer hub and a TSER953 serializer, the system timing depends on the mode selected for generating the serializer reference clock. When synchronous clocking mode is selected, the serializer relocks onto the extracted back channel reference clock when available, so there is no need for a local crystal oscillator at the sensor module. The initialization sequence follows the illustration given in the Initialization Sequence: Synchronous Clocking Mode.
To allow for a quicker system bring up time, TI recommends programing the I2C watchdog timer speedup, by setting 0x0A = 0x12, before trying to access remote I2C target devices attached to the SER through the back channel from the deserializer. This provides a faster remote sensor access time even if the serializer I2C bus experiences unexpected noise during power up of the sensor module.
Software configuration to extend the temperature ramp down range of the TSER953 serializer based on the device's initial temperature is recommended for continuous PLL lock. The range for decreasing temperatures from startup temperature differ for temperatures above 10°C and below 10°C. Starting temperatures from 10°C to 85°C have a minimum ending temperature of -10°C to maintain continuous PLL lock with the software configuration applied. Starting temperatures below 10°C have maximum temperature decrease of 20°C from starting temperature.
Register configurations consist of a dynamic configuration, static configuration, and an override to enable settings. During initialization, Analog register 0x4C[6:4] TEMP_RAMP_STATIC_CFG is recommended to be set to 0x7. Values of Analog register 0x4B TEMP_RAMP_DYNAMIC_CFG vary across initializations. The offset value is recommended to decrement or increment the read back value of TEMP_RAMP_DYNAMIC_CFG in correlation to die temperature. Serializer temperature is reported in SENSOR_STS_2[2:0] of the pairing deserializer. Offset values by temperature are referenced in Dynamic Configuration Offset by Die Temperature . To apply the software configuration, TEMP_RAMP_DYNAMIC_CFG[5] is set to 0x1.
