DS90CF384MTD

DS90CF384MTD is a Texas Instruments 4-channel FPD-Link serializer designed for automotive camera links. It takes four parallel video data inputs (plus timing) and converts them into a single high‑speed serial data stream sent over a twisted pair to a remote deserializer (e.g., TI’s DS90Cxxx devices). The pair at the other end recovers the four video channels. Features typical for automotive use include I2C/configuration interface, power‑management (e.g., standby/power-down), and robust operation over automotive temperature ranges with EMI considerations. The MT D suffix indicates the specific package variant. Typical applications are automotive cameras (rear/backup, surround-view, driver monitoring) where multiple sensors share one link to an ECU, reducing harness complexity while preserving video quality.

DS90CF384MTD Features (concise)
- Automotive-grade 4-channel LVDS deserializer for FPD-Link II
- Four LVDS data inputs plus a clock input; outputs 24-bit parallel video data
- Internal clock/data recovery PLL and timing/control logic
- I2C/SMBus control interface for configuration, status, and test modes
- Supports standard video formats with frame/line sync handling
- High-speed data: per-channel data rates suitable for automotive camera links
- Low-power operation with standby mode
- Core operates from 3.3V; I/O features are 5V tolerant
- Extended temperature range and rugged packaging (MTD)
Note: For exact data rates, timing, and pinout, refer to the TI datasheet.

- Pin count: 28 pins (28-pin package, DS90CF384MTD).
- Function: High-speed LVDS video deserializer; converts serialized video data from a camera interface into parallel data for downstream logic, with clock/control signals for camera-link style applications.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI)
- What kind of company: An American multinational corporation that designs and manufactures semiconductors and integrated circuits, specializing in analog and embedded processing products.

DS90CF384MTD is a quad FPD-Link II deserializer used for multi‑channel camera video over a single twisted pair. Typical applications:
- Automotive camera systems (front/rear/around‑view, ADAS) with long cable runs
- In-vehicle infotainment and instrument‑cluster video links
- Industrial/machine‑vision and robotics requiring centralized processing
- CCTV/security systems needing long‑reach high‑speed video
- Any system that needs multi‑channel camera video over a thin differential pair to a host processor

DS90CF384MTD comes in a 16-pin MSOP package (MSOP-16), RoHS-compliant.
