TDES960RTDR

Overview

The TDES960RTDR is a quad V3Link deserializer hub manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed sensor data aggregation. It features four V3Link receiver ports supporting up to 4.16 Gbps per lane and two MIPI CSI-2 output ports with scalable data rates up to 1.6 Gbps per lane. The device operates within an ambient temperature range of –20°C to +85°C and utilizes a 64-pin VQFN package measuring 9.00 mm × 9.00 mm. Recommended supply voltages include 1.1 V (1.045 V to 1.155 V) for core logic and 1.8 V or 3.3 V for I/O interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Aggregates video data from up to four independent sensors simultaneously via V3Link interface
• Provides dual MIPI CSI-2 compliant output ports supporting scalable data rates and port replication modes
• Includes adaptive receive equalization to compensate for cable loss characteristics over time
• Features ultra-low latency bidirectional control channels for I2C and GPIO synchronization

Applications

• Video surveillance systems
• Industrial robots and machine vision
• Patient monitoring and diagnostics
• Appliances and elevators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific RTDR suffix against the manufacturer's current orderable addendum to confirm packaging type and reel specifications. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact pin configuration and thermal requirements for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to validate any recent updates to electrical characteristics or register maps before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring the aggregation of multiple high-resolution camera streams into a single processor interface. It is suitable for applications needing precise multi-camera synchronization and low-latency control channels. Verify compatibility with upstream serializers such as the TSER953 and ensure the downstream processor supports the required MIPI CSI-2 lane configurations and data rates.

Part Context

The TDES960 belongs to the Texas Instruments V3Link family of serializer/deserializer devices. It functions as a sensor hub, connecting serialized sensor data to downstream processors. This specific model provides a cost-effective solution for space-constrained designs using a compact 64-pin VQFN package while supporting advanced diagnostic and synchronization features.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90UB960WRTDTQ1 is a compatible alternative offering similar deserialization capabilities but includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. When substituting, verify differences in operating temperature ranges and power supply requirements to ensure system compatibility.
