THCV231-Q

Overview

The THCV231-Q is a serializing interface IC designed for automotive applications, converting LVCMOS parallel video signals into high-speed CML serial outputs. It supports up to 12-bit per pixel input with a maximum data rate of 2.24 Gbps per lane, enabling the transmission of 1080p60Hz images over twisted pair or coaxial cables. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V and includes an integrated spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) to reduce EMI. It features bidirectional I2C communication capabilities and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Converts parallel LVCMOS video inputs to serial CML outputs for extended cable transmission
• Integrates bidirectional I2C bridge for control signal exchange alongside video data
• Includes built-in spread spectrum clock generation to minimize electromagnetic interference

Applications

• Automotive imaging systems
• Surveillance cameras

Part Context

This component belongs to the THCV series of V-by-One HS compatible serializers manufactured by CEL. It is specifically engineered to extend MIPI CSI-2 or parallel video transmission distances beyond standard limits, serving as a transmitter counterpart to receivers like the THCV236 in long-reach video link designs.
