THCV243-B

Overview

The THCV243-B is a serializing transceiver IC designed to convert MIPI CSI-2 video signals into V-by-One HS format. It supports up to four MIPI CSI-2 input lanes, each transmitting at speeds up to 1.2 Gbps per lane. The device outputs two V-by-One HS lanes with a maximum serial data rate of 4 Gbps per lane. It features a Sub-Link function for bidirectional communication, allowing I2C and GPIO signals to be transmitted over the same cable as video data. The component operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and utilizes a compact CSP35 package measuring 2.1 mm by 2.9 mm.

Feature Summary

• Converts MIPI CSI-2 input to V-by-One HS output
• Supports up to four input lanes and two high-speed output lanes
• Integrates Sub-Link for bidirectional control signal transmission
• Includes built-in spread spectrum clock generator for EMI reduction

Applications

• Automotive dash cameras and rear-view systems
• Surveillance and security camera modules
• Industrial machine vision equipment
• Medical imaging devices
• Wearable camera systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the source provides the complete datasheet for the THCV243-B variant rather than generic family information. Confirm that the supplier offers genuine components from THine Solutions, Inc. or authorized distributors to guarantee performance reliability in safety-critical applications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require converting MIPI CSI-2 sensor data to long-distance V-by-One HS transmission. It is suitable for applications needing integrated bidirectional control without additional wiring. Consider the 2.1 mm x 2.9 mm footprint for dense PCB layouts. Verify that the required video resolution and frame rate align with the 4 Gbps per lane output capability.

Part Context

The THCV243-B belongs to the THine Solutions THCV series of serializers. This series is engineered for automotive and industrial vision systems requiring reliable, high-bandwidth video transmission over short to medium distances. The device integrates the transmitter and Sub-Link controller into a single small form factor, simplifying system architecture compared to discrete solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The THCV236 is documented as a recommended receiver counterpart for the THCV243 series. No other direct substitute part numbers are confirmed in public sources. Designers should verify interface compatibility if considering alternative serializers from different manufacturers.
