The DS90UB934-Q1 converts the FPD-Link III stream into a parallel CMOS output interface designed to support automotive image sensors up to 12 bits at 100 MHz with resolutions including 1MP/60fps and 2MP/30fps. The DS90UB934-Q1 device recovers a high-speed FPD-Link III forward channel signal and outputs a 10- or 12-bit wide parallel LVCMOS data bus along with generating a bidirectional control channel control signal in the reverse channel direction. The high-speed, serial-bit stream contains an embedded clock and DC-balanced information which enhances signal quality to support AC coupling. The DS90UB934 deserializer can accept up to:
- 12 bits of DATA + 2 SYNC bits for an input PCLK range of 37.5 MHz to 100 MHz in the 12-bit high frequency mode. Note: No HS/VS restrictions (raw).
- 10 bits of DATA + 2 SYNC bits for an input PCLK range of 50 MHz to 100 MHz in the 10-bit mode. Note: HS/VS restricted to no more than one transition per 10 PCLK cycles.
- 12 bits of DATA + 2 bits SYNC for an input PCLK range of 25 MHz to 50 MHz in the 12-bit low frequency mode. Note: No HS/VS restrictions (raw).
The DS90UB934-Q1 device has a 2:1 multiplexer, which allows customers to select between two serializer inputs. The control channel function of the DS90UB933/DS90UB934-Q1 chipset provides bidirectional communication between the image sensor and ECUs. The integrated bidirectional control channel transfers data bidirectionally over the same channel used for video data interface. This interface offers advantages over other chipsets by eliminating the need for additional wires for programming and control. The bidirectional control channel bus is controlled via an I2C port. The bidirectional control channel offers asymmetrical communication and is not dependent on video blanking intervals. The DS90UB933/934 chipset offer customers the choice to work with different clocking schemes. The DS90UB933/934 chipsets can use an external oscillator as the reference clock source for the PLL or PCLK from the imager as primary reference clock to the PLL (see the
DS90UB933-Q1 data sheet).
