DS90C241QVSX/NOPB

Overview

The DS90C241QVSX/NOPB is a high-speed serializer manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for FPD-Link II applications. It converts 24 parallel LVCMOS inputs into a single differential serial output stream. The device supports data rates up to 1.03 Gbps and operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V. It is qualified under the AEC-Q100 standard for automotive use and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. The component is housed in a 48-pin TQFP package with dimensions of 7x7 mm.

Feature Summary

• Supports FPD-Link II protocol for long-reach display connectivity
• Integrates PLL for clock recovery and data synchronization
• Provides DC-balanced encoding for reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Automotive camera systems requiring high-bandwidth video transmission
• In-vehicle infotainment displays connected to central processing units
• Digital cockpit interfaces utilizing multiple sensor inputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q100 requirements for your target automotive application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compatibility with current design standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this serializer when interfacing 24-bit parallel LVCMOS sources to FPD-Link II compatible deserializers. Confirm that the system requires a single differential output lane for bandwidth efficiency. Verify that the operating environment falls within the specified industrial temperature range and voltage constraints defined in the electrical characteristics table.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS90UR241 family of serializers, which are paired with DS90UR124 deserializers. The 'Q' designation indicates automotive qualification, while 'VSX' specifies the 48-TQFP package and tray/tape packaging variant. It serves as the transmitter side of the link, complementing the receiver-side DS90UR124QVSX/NOPB.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90UR241IVS/NOPB is a non-automotive grade equivalent with identical functional specifications. Verify if automotive qualification is strictly required for the end application before substituting. Both parts share the same pinout and electrical parameters.
