This reference design uses the following TI products:
- DS90UB953-Q1: the serializer portion of a chipset that offers a FPD-Link III interface with a high-speed forward channel and a bidirectional control channel for data transmission over a single coax cable or differential pair. This chipset incorporates differential signaling on both the high-speed forward channel and bidirectional control channel data paths. The serializer and deserializer pair is targeted for connections between imagers and video processors in an electronic control unit (ECU).
- TPS650330-Q1: an automotive qualified, four channel PMIC optimized for camera applications. The device integrates three buck converters and one LDO, along with undervoltage monitors and overvoltage protection for each voltage rail. A fixed PWM 2.3-MHz switching frequency enables the use of small inductors with a fast transient response. The low-noise, high-PSRR LDO provides an output voltage option for sensitive analog circuits. The output voltage and sequencing settings, along with other operational settings are programmable via I2C for compatibility with a variety of imagers without the need for any additional components.
