THCV244A-B

Overview

The THCV244A-B is a serializing transmitter designed to convert MIPI CSI-2 video data into V-by-One HS signals for transmission over differential STP or coaxial cables. It supports up to four MIPI CSI-2 input lanes, each operating at a maximum rate of 1.2 Gbps. The device features two V-by-One HS output lanes capable of transmitting up to 4 Gbps per lane, enabling uncompressed 1080p60 video delivery. It includes a Sub-Link function for bidirectional communication, supporting I2C and GPIO control over the same cable used for video data.

Feature Summary

• Supports MIPI CSI-2 input with virtual channel capability
• Transmits high-speed video via dual V-by-One HS lanes
• Enables remote camera control through integrated Sub-Link interface

Applications

• Automotive camera systems requiring long-distance signal transmission
• Surveillance cameras utilizing single-cable solutions
• Industrial vision systems needing reliable high-bandwidth connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix B against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and voltage specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required package type and thermal characteristics for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a system requires converting parallel MIPI CSI-2 interfaces into serialized V-by-One HS outputs for extended cable runs. Consider the need for bidirectional control capabilities and the specific lane configuration requirements of the source sensor and display processor.

Part Context

This part belongs to the THine Solutions THCV series of serializers. It complements receiver components like the THCV242A to form complete transmission links. The series focuses on providing robust video transport solutions for automotive and industrial applications where signal integrity over distance is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the THCV242A (receiver counterpart) and THCV236. Verify functional equivalence regarding lane count and protocol support before substitution.
