TSER953RHBT

Overview

The TSER953RHBT is a MIPI CSI-2 V3Link serializer manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed raw data sensor applications. It supports data rates up to 4.16 Gbps across four channels, enabling transmission from sensors such as 2.3 MP imagers at 60 fps or 4 MP cameras at 30 fps. The device operates on a single 1.8 V supply with a typical power consumption of 0.25 W. It features a 50 Mbps bidirectional control channel and supports single-ended coaxial or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables via Power over Coax (PoC). The component is housed in a compact 5 mm x 5 mm VQFN package and functions within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed sensor interfaces including FHD 1080p 2.3 MP at 60 fps and 4 MP at 30 fps imaging.
• Provides advanced data protection and diagnostic capabilities, including CRC protection and line fault detection.
• Enables precise multi-camera synchronization and clocking when paired with compatible deserializers.
• Integrates ultra-low latency bidirectional I2C and GPIO control channels for ECU-based ISP control.

Applications

• Robotics and automation systems
• Medical imaging equipment
• Security and surveillance cameras

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RHBT against official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the intended sensor interface standards. Confirm that the operating environment falls within the specified -20°C to +85°C range. Validate power supply requirements match the single 1.8 V specification. Check for required development kits like the DS90UB953-Q1EVM for initial integration testing.

Selection Notes

Select this serializer for applications requiring high-bandwidth video transmission from raw data sensors. It is suitable for space-constrained designs due to its small VQFN footprint. Consider pairing with TDES954 or TDES960 deserializers for complete system functionality. Evaluate cable length constraints based on the supported transmission media options.
