THCV231

Overview

The THCV231 is a transmitter IC designed for the V-by-One HS interface, converting LVCMOS parallel video signals into high-speed serial CML outputs. It supports up to 12-bit per pixel input with data rates reaching 2.24 Gbps per channel. The device enables transmission of 1080p60Hz images over twisted pair or coaxial cables. It features an integrated spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) and bidirectional I2C communication capability. Operating voltage ranges from 1.7V to 3.6V, with a functional temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant and operating temperature grade against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the recommended receiver component, such as the THCV236, matches the system design requirements. Ensure supply chain sources provide authentic components with valid traceability documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing LVCMOS sensors with V-by-One HS compliant receivers. Verify compatibility with the target display resolution and frame rate specifications. Ensure power supply rails align with the 1.7V to 3.6V operational range. Consider thermal management requirements for the QFN32 package in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This transmitter belongs to the V-by-One HS ecosystem developed by THine Solutions. It is engineered to replace legacy parallel interfaces in high-bandwidth applications. The device complements compatible receiver ICs to form complete transmission links for digital video signals.

Replacement Considerations

No officially confirmed substitute part numbers are available in public documentation. Direct replacement requires verification of electrical compatibility and pinout alignment with existing receiver components.
