DS90C187LFX/NOPB

Overview

The DS90C187LFX/NOPB is a dual-pixel FPD-Link LVDS serializer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It converts parallel LVCMOS input data into high-speed serial LVDS output streams. The device supports a maximum data rate of 5.565 Gb/s per channel. It features 53 LVCMOS inputs and 8 LVDS outputs. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V. It is designed for surface-mount installation in a 92-pin VQFN-MR package. The operational temperature range extends from -10°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Converts parallel pixel data to serial LVDS format for display interfaces
• Supports dual-pixel architecture for high-resolution video transmission
• Integrates clock recovery and data alignment capabilities

Applications

• Flat Panel Display (FPD) Link transmitter circuits
• High-resolution LCD panel interface designs
• Mobile device display subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LFX' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm packaging details, as this often denotes reel quantity variations compared to other suffixes like 'LFE'. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check moisture sensitivity levels prior to soldering. Confirm that the 92-pin VQFN-MR footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements exactly.

Selection Notes

Select this serializer when interfacing parallel camera or processor outputs to LVDS-compatible displays requiring dual-pixel throughput. Compare input pin counts against source device capabilities to ensure compatibility. Evaluate power consumption at the target operating frequency relative to system thermal constraints. Verify that the 1.8V core voltage aligns with the available power rails in the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DS90C187 series of FPD-Link serializers. It is part of Texas Instruments' portfolio of high-speed display interface solutions. The series is engineered to reduce cable count and EMI in mobile and automotive display applications. It complements deserializer counterparts such as the DS90CR287 family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the DS90C187LFE/NOPB variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but may differ in tape-and-reel packaging quantities. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics before substitution.
