3 Description

The DS90UB971-Q1 serializer represents the first

generation in FPD-Link IV serializers and is designed

to support ultra-high-speed raw data sensors

including 8MP+ Imagers, satellite RADAR, LIDAR,

and Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors. The chip delivers

an 7.55-Gbps forward channel and an ultra-low

latency, 47.1875-Mbps bidirectional control channel

and supports power over a single coax (PoC) or

STP cable. The DS90UB971-Q1 features advanced

data protection and diagnostic features to support

ADAS and automotive functional safety. Together

with a companion deserializer, the DS90UB971-Q1

delivers precise multi-camera sensor clock and

sensor synchronization.

The DS90UB971-Q1 is fully AEC-Q100 qualified with

a wide temperature range of –40°C to 115°C. The

serializer comes in a small 5-mm × 5-mm VQFN

package for space-constrained sensor applications.
