SNLS507C September 2016 – December 2022 DS90UB934-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The DS90UB34-Q1 is designed to support the Power-over-Coax (PoC) method of powering remote sensor systems. With this method, the power is delivered over the same medium (a coaxial cable) used for high-speed digital video data and bidirectional control and diagnostics data transmission. The method utilizes passive networks or filters that isolate the transmission line from the loading of the DC-DC regulator circuits and their connecting power traces on both sides of the link as shown in Figure 6-1.
The PoC networks' impedance of ≥ 2 kΩ over a specific frequency band is typically sufficient to isolate the transmission line from the loading of the regulator circuits. The lower limit of the frequency band is defined as ½ of the frequency of the bidirectional control channel, fBCC. The upper limit of the frequency band is the frequency of the forward high-speed channel, fFC.
Figure 6-2 shows a PoC network recommended for a FPD-Link III consisting of DS90UB913A-Q1/DS90UB933-Q1 and DS90UB934-Q1 pair with the bidirectional channel operating at 5 Mbps (½ fBCC = 2.5 MHz) and the forward channel operating at 1.87 Gbps (fFC = 1GHz).
Table 6-1 lists essential components for this particular PoC network.

Application report Sending Power over Coax in DS90UB913A Designs (SNLA224) discusses defining PoC networks in more detail.
In addition to the PoC network components selection, their placement and layout play a critical role as well.
The suggested characteristics for single-ended PCB traces (microstrips or striplines) for serializer or deserializer boards are detailed in Table 6-2. The effects of the PoC networks need to be accounted for when testing the traces for compliance to the suggested limits.

The VPOC noise needs to be kept to 10 mVp-p or lower on the source / deserializer side of the system. The VPOC fluctuations on the serializer side, caused by the transient current draw of the sensor and the DC resistance of cables and PoC components, need to be kept at minimum as well. Increasing the VPOC voltage and adding extra decoupling capacitance (> 10 µF) help reduce the amplitude and slew rate of the VPOC fluctuations.
