The DS90UB921-Q1 serializer, in conjunction with a DS90UB922-Q1, DS90UB926Q-Q1, DS90UB928Q-Q1, DS90UB948-Q1, or DS90UB940-Q1 deserializer, provides a complete digital interface for concurrent transmission of high-speed video, audio, and control data for automotive display and image sensing applications.

The chipset is ideally suited for automotive video-display systems with WVGA and HD formats. The DS90UB921-Q1 incorporates an embedded bidirectional control channel and low latency GPIO controls. This chipset translates a parallel interface into a single pair high-speed serialized interface. The serial bus scheme, FPD-Link III, supports full duplex of high-speed video data transmission and bidirectional control communication over a single link. Consolidation of video data and control over a single differential pair (or single wire) reduces the interconnect size and weight, while also eliminating skew issues and simplifying system design.

The DS90UB921-Q1 serializer embeds the clock, DC scrambles & balances the data payload, and level shifts the signals to high-speed low voltage differential (or single-ended) signaling. Up to 24 data bits are serialized along the video control signals.Read more
