DS90UB95x-Q1 Serializer Evaluation Module
Ankur Verma, Cole Macias
ABSTRACT
The Texas Instruments DS90UB95x-Q1EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a functional board design for
evaluating the DS90UB953-Q1 FPD-Link III serializer and the TSER953 V
3
Link serializer. This document
provides necessary details for the evaluation such as a brief product overview, quick-start guide, troubleshooting
section, schematics, and printed-circuit board (PCB) layout details, and bill of materials (BOM).
The DS90UB953-Q1 and TSER953 serializers represent the next generation in FPD-Link III and V
3
Link
serializers and are designed to support high-speed raw data sensors including 2-MP imagers at 60 fps, as
well as 4-MP, 30-fps cameras, satellite RADAR, LIDAR, and time-of-flight (ToF) sensors. The chip delivers a
4-Gbps+ forward channel and an ultra-low latency, 50-Mbps bidirectional control channel. The chip also supports
power over a single coax (PoC) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable and connector. The DS90UB953-Q1 and
TSER953 feature advanced data protection and diagnostic features to support ADAS, autonomous driving, and
industrial and medical imaging applications. Together with a companion deserializer, the chip delivers precise
multi-camera sensor clock and sensor synchronization. For a full list of device characteristics, refer to the
DS90UB953-Q1
and
TSER953
product folders.
