ABSTRACT
The Texas Instruments DS90UB960-Q1EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) is a functional board design for
evaluating the DS90UB960-Q1 FPD-Link III and TDES960 V
3
Link deserializer hubs, which convert serialized
sensor data to MIPI CSI-2 for processing. It is configured for communication with up to four DS90UB953-Q1
or TSER953 serializers using a Quad Mini-Fakra to 4x Single FAKRA cable assembly. An on-board MSP430
coupled with Analog LaunchPAD GUI tool enables interface to a PC for easy device evaluation.
