DS90C124IVSX/NOPB

Overview

The DS90C124IVSX/NOPB is a serializer manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the DS90C124 series. It functions as a serial-to-parallel converter designed for FPD-Link applications. The device supports data rates ranging from 5 MHz to 35 MHz with DC-balanced 24-bit parallel output. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and consumes 90 mA at 3.3 V. The component is housed in a TQFP-48 package suitable for surface mount installation. It features an internal PLL for clock recovery and supports LVCMOS outputs. The operational temperature range extends from -40°C to +105°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for robust clock recovery from the serial input stream.
• Converts high-speed serial data into 24-bit parallel LVCMOS outputs for display interfaces.
• Supports spread spectrum clocking tolerance to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Provides DC-balanced signaling to maintain signal integrity over long cable runs.

Applications

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel interfaces in automotive infotainment systems.
• Thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) driver connections.
• High-resolution video transmission links requiring low latency.
• Industrial control panels utilizing FPD-Link II architecture.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IVSX' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TQFP-48 form factor. Check for moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profile requirements prior to assembly. Confirm that the 3.3V power domain aligns with the system design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a serializer is required for FPD-Link II displays with up to 24 bits of parallel data. It is appropriate for designs needing operation up to 35 MHz with extended industrial temperature ranges. Consider alternatives if lower pin counts or different interface standards like FPD-Link III are necessary. Validate that the target application does not exceed the maximum data rate specifications defined in the official documentation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS90C124 family of serializers, which are paired with deserializers such as the DS90UR124. These components utilize FPD-Link II technology to transmit video data over shielded twisted pair cables. The family is widely adopted in automotive and industrial display markets due to its robustness and EMI reduction capabilities through spread spectrum support.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90C124IVS/NOPB is a direct equivalent with standard tray packaging. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other members of the DS90C124 series may offer different package options but share similar functional characteristics.
