DS90UB95x-Q1EVM Deserializer User's Guide
The Texas Instruments DS90UB95x-Q1EVM evaluation modules (EVM) are functional board designs for
evaluating the DS90UB95x-Q1 FPD-Link III deserializers, which convert serialized camera data to MIPI
CSI-2 for processing. The MIPI CSI-2 output has four available lanes, and can be configured for either
four-lane output or replicated two-lane output. When paired with a compatible serializer, the deserializers
receive data from imager(s) supporting cameras as well as satellite RADAR. The DS90UB954-Q1 also
supports DS90UB913A/933 serializers.
Some variants are single channel; for these variants ignore references to RX1. Some references are
made to serializer backward compatibility; refer to the product datasheet for serializer compatibility.
The
DS90UB954-Q1EVM
is configured for communication with a DS90UB953-Q1 on channel 0 (RX0),
and a DS90UB933-Q1 on channel 1 (RX1). The EVM has two Rosenberger FAKRA connectors and
configurable Power-over-Coax (PoC) voltage for connecting the camera modules (not included). FPD-Link
III interfaces also include a separate low latency bidirectional control channel that conveys control
information from an I
2
C port. General purpose I/O signals such as those required for camera
synchronization and functional safety features also make use of this bidirectional control channel to
program registers in the DS90UB954-Q1 as well as the connected serializer and any remote I2C
connected devices. There is an onboard MSP430 which functions as a USB2ANY bridge for interfacing
with a PC for evaluation. The USB2ANY interfaces with the
GUI tool.
