DS90UB948-Q1 Automotive 2K FPD-Link III to OpenLDI Deserializer
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The DS90UB948-Q1 is a FPD-Link III deserializer
which, in conjunction with the DS90UB949A/949/947Q1 serializers, converts 1-lane or 2-lane FPD-Link
III streams into a FPD-Link (OpenLDI) interface. The
Deserializer is capable of operating over cost-effective
50-Ω single-ended coaxial or 100-Ω differential
shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables. It recovers the
data from one or two FPD-Link III serial streams and
translates it into dual pixel FPD-Link (8 LVDS data
lanes + clock) supporting video resolutions up to 2K
(2048x1080) with 24-bit color depth. This provides a
bridge between HDMI enabled sources such as GPUs
to connect to existing LVDS displays or application
processors.

2 Applications
•
Automotive infotainment:
– Central information displays
– Rear seat entertainment systems
– Digital instrument clusters
The FPD-Link III interface supports video and
audio data transmission and full duplex control,
including I2C and SPI communication, over the
same differential link. Consolidation of video data
and control over two differential pairs decreases
the interconnect size and weight and simplifies
system design. EMI is minimized by the use of low
voltage differential signaling, data scrambling, and
randomization. In backward compatible mode, the
device supports up to WXGA and 720p resolutions
with 24-bit color depth over a single differential link.
The device automatically senses the FPD-Link III
channels and supplies a clock alignment and deskew functionality without the need for any special
training patterns. This ensures skew phase tolerance
from mismatches in interconnect wires such as PCB
trace routing, cable pair-to-pair length differences, and
connector imbalances.

I, PD
Inverted Power-Down input pin
Typically connected to a processor GPIO with a pulldown. When PDB input is brought HIGH, the
device is enabled and internal registers and state machines are reset to default values. Asserting
PDB signal low will power down the device and consume minimum power. The default function of
this pin is PDB = LOW; POWER DOWN with an weak (>100-kΩ) internal pulldown enabled. PDB
should remain low until after power supplies are applied and reach minimum required levels.
PDB = 1, device is enabled (normal operation)
PDB = 0, device is powered down
When the device is in the POWER DOWN state, the LVCMOS outputs are in tri-state, the PLL is
shut down, and IDD is minimized.
I, PD
BIST Enable pin
0: BIST mode is disabled

I2S specifications for tLC,I2S and tHC,I2S pulses must each be greater than 1 OLDI clock period to ensure sampling and supersedes the
0.35 × tI2S requirement. tLC,I2S and tHC,I2S must be longer than the greater of either 0.35 × tI2S or 2 × OLDI Clock.
PCLK refers to the equivalent pixel clock frequency, which is equal to the FPD-Link III line rate / 35.
UI – Unit Interval is equivalent to one serialized data bit width. For Single Lane mode 1UI = 1 / (35 × PCLK). For Dual Lane mode, 1UI
= 1 / (35 × PCLK / 2). The UI scales with PCLK frequency.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DS90UB948-Q1 receives a 35-bit symbol over single or dual serial FPD-Link III pairs operating at up to
3.36 Gbps line rate in 1-lane FPD-Link III mode and 3.36 Gbps per lane in 2-lane FPD-Link III mode. The
DS90UB948-Q1 converts this stream into a single or dual FPD-Link Interface (4 LVDS data channels + 1 LVDS
clock, or 8 LVDS data channels + 2 LVDS clocks). The FPD-Link III serial stream contains an embedded clock,
video control signals, and the DC-balanced video data and audio data which enhance signal quality to support
AC coupling.
The DS90UB948-Q1 is compatible with the following serializers: DS90UB949-Q1, DS90UB949A-Q1,
DS90UB947-Q1, DS90UB941AS-Q1, DS90UB925Q-Q1, DS90UB927Q-Q1, DS90UB929-Q1, DS90UB921-Q1
The DS90UB948-Q1 deserializer attains lock to a data stream without the use of a separate reference clock
source, which greatly simplifies system complexity and overall cost. The deserializer also synchronizes to the
serializer regardless of the data pattern, delivering true automatic plug and lock performance. It can lock to the
incoming serial stream without the need of special training patterns or sync characters. The deserializer recovers
the clock and data by extracting the embedded clock information, validating then deserializing the incoming data
stream.
The DS90UB948-Q1 deserializer incorporates an I2C-compatible interface. The I2C-compatible interface allows
programming of serializer or deserializer devices from a local host controller. The devices also incorporate a
bidirectional control channel (BCC) that allows communication between serializer/deserializer as well as remote
I2C Target devices.
The bidirectional control channel (BCC) is implemented through embedded signaling in the high-speed forward
channel (serializer to deserializer) combined with lower speed signaling in the reverse channel (deserializer to
serializer). Through this interface, the BCC provides a mechanism to bridge I2C transactions across the serial
link from one I2C bus to another. The implementation allows for arbitration with other I2C-compatible Controllers
at either side of the serial link.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 High-Speed Forward Channel Data Transfer
The high-speed forward channel is composed of 35 bits of data containing RGB data, sync signals, I2C, GPIOs,
and I2S audio transmitted from serializer to deserializer. Figure 7-1 shows the serial stream per clock cycle. This
data payload is optimized for signal transmission over an AC-coupled link. Data is randomized, balanced, and
scrambled.
C0
C1
Figure 7-1. FPD-Link III Serial Stream
The DS90UB948-Q1 supports clocks in the range of 25 MHz to 96 MHz over 1 lane, or 50 MHz to 192 MHz over
2 lanes. The FPD-Link III serial stream rate is 3.36 Gbps maximum (875 Mbps minimum).
7.3.2 Low-Speed Back Channel Data Transfer
The Low-Speed Backward Channel provides bidirectional communication between the display and host
processor. The information is carried from the deserializer to the serializer as serial frames. The back channel
control data is transferred over both serial links along with the high-speed forward data, DC balance coding and
embedded clock information. This architecture provides a backward path across the serial link together with a
high-speed forward channel. The back channel contains the I2C, CRC and 4 bits of standard GPIO information
with 5-Mbps, 10Mbps, or 20-Mbps line rate (configured by MODE_SEL1 and/or register 0x23).
7.3.3 FPD-Link III Port Register Access
Because the DS90UB948-Q1 contains two ports, some registers must be duplicated to allow control and
monitoring of the two ports. To facilitate this, PORT1_SEL and PORT0_SEL bits (0x34[1:0]) register controls
access to the two sets of registers. Registers that are shared between ports (not duplicated) are available
independent of the settings in the PORT_SEL register.
Setting the PORT1_SEL and PORT0_SEL bit allows a read of the register for the selected port. If both bits are
set, port1 registers are returned. Writes occur to ports for which the select bit is set, allowing simultaneous writes
to both ports if both select bits are set.
7.3.4 Oscillator Output
The deserializer provides an optional CLK[2:1]± output when the input clock (serial stream) has been lost. This is
based on an internal oscillator and may be controlled from register 0x02, bit 5 (OSC Clock Output Enable). See
Section 7.7.
7.3.5 Clock and Output Status
When PDB is driven HIGH, the CDR PLL begins locking to the serial input and LOCK is tri-state or LOW
(depending on the value of the OUTPUT ENABLE setting). After the deserializer completes its lock sequence
to the input serial data, the LOCK output is driven HIGH, indicating valid data and clock recovered from the
serial input is available on the LVCMOS and LVDS outputs. The state of the outputs is based on the OUTPUT
ENABLE and OUTPUT SLEEP STATE SELECT register settings. See register 0x02 in Section 7.7.

7.3.6 LVCMOS VDDIO Option
The 1.8-V or 3.3-V inputs and outputs are powered from a separate VDDIO supply to offer compatibility with
external system interface signals.
Note
When configuring the VDDIO power supplies, all the single-ended data and control input pins for
device must scale together with the same operating VDDIO levels.
7.3.7 Power Down (PDB)
The deserializer has a PDB input pin to ENABLE or POWER DOWN the device. This pin can be controlled by
the host or through the VDDIO, where VDDIO = 3 V to 3.6 V or VDD33. To save power, disable the link when
the display is not needed (PDB = LOW). When the pin is driven by the host, make sure to release it after VDD33
and VDDIO have reached final levels; no external components are required. This pin is preferred to drive PDB
pin through microcontroller where the RC filter is optional. In the case of driven by the VDDIO = 3 V to 3.6 V or
VDD33 directly, a 10-kΩ resistor to the VDDIO = 3 V to 3.6 V or VDD33 and a > 10-µF capacitor to the GND, are
required (see Figure 8-1).
7.3.8 Interrupt Pin — Functional Description and Usage (INTB_IN)
The INTB_IN pin is an active low interrupt input pin. The INTB_IN pin may act as an output driver and pull
low when PDB is low. This interrupt signal, when configured, propagates to the paired serializer. Consult the
appropriate serializer data sheet for details of how to configure this interrupt functionality.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
On the serializer, set register 0xC6[5] = 1 and 0xC6[0] = 1
Deserializer INTB_IN (pin 4) is set LOW by some downstream device.
Serializer pulls INTB pin LOW. The signal is active LOW, so a LOW indicates an interrupt condition.
External controller detects INTB = LOW; to determine interrupt source, read ISR register.
A read to ISR clears the interrupt at the Serializer, releasing INTB.
The external controller typically must then access the remote device to determine downstream interrupt
source and clear the interrupt driving the deserializer INTB_IN. This would be when the downstream device
releases the INTB_IN (pin 4) on the deserializer. The system is now ready to return to step (2) at next falling
edge of INTB_IN.
7.3.9 General-Purpose I/O (GPIO)
7.3.9.1 GPIO[3:0] and D_GPIO[3:0] Configuration
In normal operation, GPIO[3:0] may be used as GPIOs in either forward channel (outputs) or back channel
(inputs) mode. GPIO and D_GPIO modes may be configured from the registers (Table 7-11). The same registers
configure either GPIO or D_GPIO, depending on the status of PORT1_SEL and PORT0_SEL bits (0x34[1:0]).
D_GPIO operation requires 2-lane FPD-Link III mode. Consult the appropriate serializer data sheet for details
on D_GPIO configuration. Note: if paired with a DS90UB925Q-Q1 serializer, the devices must be configured into
18-bit mode to allow usage of GPIO pins on the serializer. To enable 18-bit mode, set serializer register 0x12[2]
= 1. 18-bit mode is auto-loaded into the deserializer from the serializer. See Table 7-2 for GPIO enable and
configuration.

7.3.9.2 Back Channel Configuration
The D_GPIO[3:0] pins can be configured to obtain different sampling rates depending on the mode as well as
back channel frequency. The mode is controlled by register 0x43 (Table 7-11). The back channel frequency can
be controlled several ways:
1. Register 0x23[6] sets the divider that controls the back channel frequency based on the internal oscillator.
0x23[6] = 0 sets the divider to 4 and 0x23[6] = 1 sets the divider to 2. As long as BC_HS_CTL (0x23[4]) is
set to 0, the back channel frequency is either 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps, based on this bit.
2. Register 0x23[4] enables the high-speed back channel. This can also be pin-strapped through MODE_SEL1
(see Table 7-3). This bit overrides 0x23[6] and sets the divider for the back channel frequency to 1. Setting
this bit to 1 sets the back channel frequency to 20 Mbps.
The back channel frequency has variation of ±20%. Note: The back channel frequency must be set to 5 Mbps
when paired with a DS90UB925Q-Q1, DS90UB921-Q1, DS90UB929-Q1, or DS90UB927Q-Q1. See Table 7-3
for details about configuring the D_GPIOs in various modes.
The HSCC modes replace normal back-channel signaling with dedicated GPIOs or SPI data, allowing greater
bandwidth for those functions. The HSCC Modes are enabled by setting the HSCC_MODE field in the
HSCC_CONTROL register 0x43[2:0] in the DS90UB948-Q1. The HSCC modes eliminate the normal signaling
such as Device ID, Capabilities, and RX Lock detect. It is intended to be turned on after obtaining RX Lock in
normal back channel mode. Hence, the serializer properly determines capabilities prior to HSCC mode initiation.
HSCC mode prevents loading capabilities, and it should only be enabled after RX Lock is established.

7.3.9.3 GPIO Register Configuration
GPIO_REG[8:5] are register-only GPIOs and may be programmed as outputs or read as inputs through local
register bits only. Where applicable, these bits are shared with I2S pins and will override I2S input if enabled into
GPIO_REG mode. See Table 7-4 for GPIO enable and configuration.

7.3.10 SPI Communication
The SPI control channel uses the secondary link in a 2-lane FPD-Link III implementation. Two possible modes
are available: forward channel and reverse channel modes. In forward channel mode, the SPI Controller is
located at the serializer, such that the direction of sending SPI data is in the same direction as the video data.
In reverse channel mode, the SPI Controller is located at the deserializer, such that the direction of sending SPI
data is in the opposite direction as the video data.
The SPI control channel can operate in a high-speed mode when writing data, but must operate at lower
frequencies when reading data. During SPI reads, data is clocked from the Peripheral to the Controller on the
SPI clock falling edge. Thus, the SPI read must operate with a clock period that is greater than the round trip
data latency. On the other hand, for SPI writes, data can be sent at much higher frequencies where the POCI pin
can be ignored by the Controller.
SPI data rates are not symmetrical for the two modes of operation. Data over the forward channel can be sent
much faster than data over the reverse channel.
Note
SPI cannot be used to access serializer or deserializer registers.

7.3.10.1 SPI Mode Configuration
SPI is configured over I2C using the high-speed control channel configuration (HSCC_CONTROL) register, 0x43
(Section 7.7). HSCC_MODE (0x43[2:0]) must be configured for either high-speed, forward channel SPI mode
(110) or high-speed, reverse channel SPI mode (111).
7.3.10.2 Forward Channel SPI Operation
In forward channel SPI operation, the SPI Controller located at the serializer generates the SPI clock (SPLK),
Controller out / Peripheral in data (PICO), and active low Peripheral select (CS). The serializer oversamples the
SPI signals directly using the video pixel clock. The three sampled values for SPLK, PICO, and CS are each
sent on data bits in the forward channel frame. At the deserializer, the SPI signals are regenerated using the
pixel clock. To preserve setup and hold time, the deserializer holds POCI data while the SPLK signal is high. The
deserializer also delays SPLK by one pixel clock relative to the PICO data, increasing setup by one pixel clock.

7.3.10.3 Reverse Channel SPI Operation
In reverse channel SPI operation, the deserializer samples the Peripheral select (CS), SPI clock (SCLK) into
the internal oscillator clock domain. Upon detection of the active SPI clock edge, the deserializer also samples
the SPI data (PICO). The SPI data samples are stored in a buffer to be passed to the serializer over the back
channel. The deserializer sends SPI information in a back channel frame to the serializer. In each back channel
frame, the deserializer sends an indication of the CS value. The CS must be inactive (high) for at least one
back-channel frame period to ensure propagation to the serializer.
Because data is delivered in separate back channel frames and buffered, the data may be regenerated in bursts.
Figure 7-4 shows an example of the SPI data regeneration when the data arrives in three back channel frames.
The first frame delivered the CS active indication, the second frame delivered the first three data bits, and the
third frame delivers the additional data bits.

7.3.11 Backward Compatibility
The DS90UB948-Q1 is also backward compatible to the DS90UB925Q-Q1 and DS90UB927Q-Q1 for PCLK
frequencies ranging from 25 MHz to 85 MHz or 25 MHz to 96 MHz when paired with DS90UB921-Q1 and
DS90UB929-Q1. Backward compatibility does not need to be enabled. When paired with a backward-compatible
device, the deserializer auto-detects to 1-lane FPD-Link III on the primary channel (RIN0±).
7.3.12 Adaptive Equalizer
The FPD-Link III receiver inputs incorporate an adaptive equalizer (AEQ) to compensate for signal degradation
from the communications channel and interconnect components. Each RX port signal path continuously
monitors cable characteristics for long-term cable aging and temperature changes. The AEQ is primarily
intended to adapt and compensate for channel losses over the lifetime of a cable installed in an automobile.
The AEQ attempts to optimize the equalization setting of the RX receiver. This adaption includes compensating
insertion loss from temperature effects and aging degradation due to bending and flexion. To determine the
maximum cable reach, factors that affect signal integrity such as jitter, skew, inter-symbol interference (ISI),
crosstalk, and so forth, must also be considered. The equalization configuration programmed in registers 0x35
(AEQ_CTL1) and 0x45 (AEQ_CTL2).
7.3.12.1 Transmission Distance
When designing the transmission channel, consider the total insertion loss of all components in the signal path
between a serializer and a deserializer. An example of the transmission channel connects from a FPD-Link
serializer (SER) to a deserializer would consist of a serializer PCB, two or more connectors, one or more cables,
and a deserializer PCB as shown in Figure 7-6

Table 7-6 depicts the maximum attenuation using DS90UB948-Q1. The PCLK is the maximum frequency based
on the channel attenuation. The attenuation increases with cable length and frequency. The trace length of the
PCB has very small contribution to the differential insertion loss of the transmission channel. Table 7-6 shows the
maximum attenuation that the AEQ can compensate for at the given PCLK and resultant Nuyquist frequency.

7.3.12.2 Adaptive Equalizer Algorithm
The AEQ process steps through allowed values of the equalizer controls find a value that allows the Clock Data
Recovery (CDR) circuit to maintain valid lock condition. For each EQ setting, the circuit waits for a programmed
re-lock time period, then checks results for valid lock. If valid lock is detected, the circuit will stop at the current
EQ setting and maintain constant value as long as lock state persists. If the deserializer loses LOCK, the
adaptive equalizer will resume the LOCK algorithm and the EQ setting is incremented to the next valid state.

SNLS477D – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2022
Once lock is lost, the circuit will continue searching EQ settings to find a valid setting to reacquire the serial data
stream sent by the serializer that remains locked.
7.3.12.3 AEQ Settings
7.3.12.3.1 AEQ Start-Up and Initialization
The AEQ circuit can be restarted at any time by setting the AEQ_RESTART bit in the AEQ_CTL1 register
0x35. Once the deserializer is powered on, the AEQ is continually searching through EQ settings and could
be at any setting when signal is supplied from the serializer. If the Rx Port CDR locks to the signal, it may be
good enough for low bit errors, but could be not optimized or over-equalized. For a consistent initial EQ setting,
TI recommends that the user applies AEQ_RESTART or DIGITAL_RESET0 when the serializer input signal
frequency is stable to restart adaption from the minimum EQ gain value.
7.3.12.3.2 AEQ Range
The user can program the AEQ circuit with the minimum AEQ level setting used during the EQ adaption. Using
the full AEQ range will provide the most flexible solution, however, if the channel conditions are known and
an improved deserializer lock time can be achieved by narrowing the search window for allowable EQ gain
settings. For example, in a system use case with a longer cable and multiple interconnects creating a higher
channel attenuation, the AEQ would not adapt to the minimum EQ gain settings. In this case, starting the
adaptation from a higher AEQ level would improve lock time. The AEQ range is determined by the AEQ_CTL2
register 0x45 where the ADAPTIVE_EQ_FLOOR_VALUE determines the starting value for EQ gain adaption.
The maximum AEQ limit is not adjustable. To enable the minimum AEQ limit, OVERRIDE_AEQ_FLOOR and
SET_AEQ_FLOOR bits in the AEQ_CTL1 register must also be set. The setting for the AEQ after adaption can
be readback from the AEQ_STATUS register 0x3B.
7.3.12.3.3 AEQ Timing
The dwell time for AEQ to wait for either the lock or error-free status is also programmable. When checking each
EQ setting, the AEQ will wait for a time interval, controlled by the ADAPTIVE_EQ_RELOCK_TIME field in the
AEQ_CTL2 register (see Section 7.7) before incrementing to the next allowable EQ gain setting. The default wait
time is set to 2.62 ms. Once the maximum setting is reached, if there is no lock acquired during the programmed
relock time, the AEQ will restart adaption at the minimum setting or AEQ_FLOOR value.
7.3.13 I2S Audio Interface
This deserializer features six I2S output pins that, when paired with a compatible serializer, support surroundsound audio applications. The bit clock (I2S_CLK) supports frequencies between 1 MHz and the smaller of <
PCLK/2 or < 13 MHz. Four I2S data outputs carry two channels of I2S-formatted digital audio each, with each
channel delineated by the word select (I2C_WC) input.

DS90UB948-Q1
SNLS477D – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2022
When paired with a DS90UB925Q, the deserializer I2S interface supports a single I2S data output through
I2S_DA (24-bit video mode) or two I2S data outputs through I2S_DA and I2S_DB (18-bit video mode).
7.3.13.1 I2S Transport Modes
By default, packetized audio is received during video blanking periods in dedicated data island transport
frames. The transport mode is set in the serializer and auto-loaded into the deserializer by default. The audio
configuration may be disabled from control registers if forward channel frame transport of I2S data is desired. In
frame transport, only I2S_DA is received to the deserializer. Surround sound mode, which transmits all four I2S
data inputs (I2S_D[D:A]), may only be operated in data island transport mode. This mode is only available when
connected to a DS90UB927Q, DS90UB949-Q1, DS90UB947-Q1, or DS90UB929-Q1 serializer. If connected to a
DS90UB925Q serializer, only I2S_DA and I2S_DB may be received.
There are two I2S transport modes:
Surround Sound (SS) Mode which is the standard 8-channel audio. In this case Audio source is on the Serializer
side and uses I2S_DA/DB/DC/ DD pins to drive Audio into the serializer which show up on the Deserializer
I2S_DA/DB/DC/DD outputs.
Auxiliary Audio (AA) Mode which is only relevant when the DS90UB948-Q1 is paired with DS90UB949-Q1
Serializer and Audio is send through AUX input of this Serializer.
7.3.13.2 I2S Repeater
I2S audio may be fanned-out and propagated in the repeater application. By default, data is propagated via
data island transport on the FPD-Link interface during the video blanking periods. If frame transport is desired,
connect the I2S pins from the deserializer to all serializers. Activating surround sound at the top-level serializer
automatically configures downstream serializers and deserializers for surround-sound transport utilizing data
island transport. If 4-channel operation utilizing I2S_DA and I2S_DB only is desired, this mode must be explicitly
set in each serializer and deserializer control register throughout the repeater tree (Section 7.7).
A DS90UB948-Q1 deserializer configured in repeater mode may also regenerate I2S audio from its I2S input
pins in lieu of data island frames. See Figure 7-11 and the I2C Control Registers (Section 7.7) for additional
details.
7.3.13.3 I2S Jitter Cleaning
This device features a standalone PLL to clean the I2S data jitter, supporting high-end car audio systems. If
I2S_CLK frequency is less than 1MHz, this feature must be disabled through register 0x2B[7]. See the Section
7.7 section.
7.3.13.4 MCLK
The deserializer has an I2S MCLK output. It supports x1, x2, or x4 of I2S CLK frequency. When the I2S PLL
is disabled, the MCLK output is off. Table 7-7 covers the range of I2S sample rates and MCLK frequencies. By
default, all the MCLK output frequencies are x2 of the I2S CLK frequencies. The MCLK frequencies can also
be enabled through the register bits 0x3A[6:4] (I2S DIVSEL), shown in Section 7.7. To select desired MCLK
frequency, write 0x3A[7], then write to bit [6:4] accordingly.

1. Video data – Connect all FPD-Link data and clock pairs. Single FPD-Link (D[3:0]) or Dual FPD-Link (D[7:0])
are both possible, provided the deserializer and all serializers are configured in the same mode.
2. I2C – Connect SCL and SDA signals. Both signals must be pulled up to VDD33 or VDDIO = 3 V to 3.6 V
with 4.7-kΩ resistors.

7.3.15 Built-In Self Test (BIST)
An optional at-speed built-in self test (BIST) feature supports testing of the high-speed serial link and the
low-speed back channel without external data connections. This is useful in the prototype stage, equipment
production, in-system test, and system diagnostics.
7.3.15.1 BIST Configuration and Status
The BIST mode is enabled at the deserializer by pin (BISTEN) or BIST configuration register. The test may
select either an external PCLK or the 33-MHz internal oscillator clock (OSC) frequency in the serializer. In the
absence of PCLK, the user can select the internal OSC frequency at the deserializer through the BISTC pin or
BIST configuration register.
When BIST is activated at the deserializer, a BIST enable signal is sent to the serializer through the back
channel. The serializer outputs a test pattern and drives the link at speed. The deserializer detects the test
pattern and monitors it for errors. The deserializer PASS output pin toggles to flag each frame received
containing one or more errors. The serializer also tracks errors indicated by the CRC fields in each back channel
frame.
Note
If there is a loss of lock, then BIST error count will be reset.
The BIST status can be monitored real time on the deserializer PASS pin, with each detected error resulting in
a half pixel clock period toggled LOW. After BIST is deactivated, the result of the last test is held on the PASS
output until reset (new BIST test or power down). A high on PASS indicates NO ERRORS were detected. A Low
on PASS indicates one or more errors were detected. The duration of the test is controlled by the pulse width
applied to the deserializer BISTEN pin. LOCK status is valid throughout the entire duration of BIST.
See Figure 7-13 for the BIST mode flow diagram.
Note
When BIST is disabled, AEQ will automatically increment to the next value. After BIST is complete it is
suggested to perform an AEQ reset.
7.3.15.1.1 Sample BIST Sequence
Note: Before BIST can be enabled, D_GPIO0 (pin 19) must be strapped HIGH and D_GPIO[3:1] (pins 16, 17,
and 18) must be strapped LOW.

1. BIST Mode is enabled through the BISTEN pin of deserializer. The desired clock source is selected through
the deserializer BISTC pin.
2. The serializer is awakened through the back channel if it is not already on. An all-zeros pattern is balanced,
scrambled, randomized, and sent through the FPD-Link III interface to the deserializer. Once the serializer
and the deserializer are in BIST mode and the deserializer acquires LOCK, the PASS pin of the deserializer
goes high and BIST starts checking the data stream. If an error in the payload (1 to 35) is detected, the
PASS pin switches low for one half of the clock period. During the BIST test, the PASS output can be
monitored and counted to determine the payload error rate per 35 bits.
3. To stop BIST mode, set the BISTEN pin LOW. BIST duration is user-controlled and may be of any length.
The link returns to normal operation after the deserializer BISTEN pin is low. Figure 7-14 shows the waveform
diagram of a typical BIST test for two cases. Case 1 is error-free, and Case 2 shows one with multiple errors. In
most cases, it is difficult to generate errors due to the robustness of the link (differential data transmission, and
so forth). Errors may be introduced by greatly extending the cable length, faulting the interconnect medium, or
reducing signal condition enhancements (Rx equalization).

7.3.15.2 Forward Channel and Back Channel Error Checking
The deserializer, on locking to the serial stream, compares the recovered serial stream with all-zeroes and
records any errors in status registers. Errors are also dynamically reported on the PASS pin of the deserializer.
Forward channel errors may also be read from register 0x25 (Section 7.7).
The back-channel data is checked for CRC errors once the serializer locks onto the back-channel serial stream,
as indicated by link detect status (register bit 0x0C[0] - Section 7.7). CRC errors are recorded in an 8-bit register
in the serializer. The register is cleared when the serializer enters the BIST mode. As soon as the serializer
enters BIST mode, the functional mode CRC register starts recording any back channel CRC errors. The BIST
mode CRC error register is active in BIST mode only and keeps the record of the last BIST run until either the
error is cleared or the serializer enters BIST mode again.

7.3.16 Internal Pattern Generation
The deserializer supports the internal pattern generation feature. It allows basic testing and debugging of an
integrated panel. The test patterns are simple and repetitive and allow for a quick visual verification of panel
operation. As long as the device is not in power down mode, the test pattern is displayed even if no parallel input
is applied. If no PCLK is received, the test pattern can be configured to use a programmed oscillator frequency.
For detailed information, refer to Exploring the Int Test Pattern Generation Feature of FPDLink III IVI Devices
(SNLA132).
Note
Enabling PATGEN on the DS90UB948-Q1, using the internal clock, will cause loss of communication
between the serializer and deserializer, so internal PATGEN from the DS90UB948-Q1 should only be
enabled via local I2C access.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Configuration Select MODE_SEL[1:0]
The DS90UB948-Q1 can be configured for several different operating modes via the MODE_SEL[1:0] input pins,
or via the register bits 0x23 [4:2] (MODE_SEL1) and 0x49 (MODE_SEL0).
The DS90UB948-Q1 is capable of operating in either in 1-lane or 2-lane mode for FPD-Link III. By default, the
FPD-Link III receiver automatically configures the input based on 1- or 2-lane mode operation. Programming
register 0x34 [4:3] settings will override the automatic detection. For each FPD-Link III pair, the serial datastream
is composed of a 35-bit symbol.
The DS90UB948-Q1 recovers the FPD-Link III serial datastream(s) and produces video data driven to the
OpenLDI (LVDS) interface. OpenLDI single link and dual link are supported with color depths of 18 bits per pixel
or 24 bits per pixel. There are 8 differential data pairs (D0 through D7) and two clock pairs (CLK1 and CLK2)
on the OpenLDI interface. The number of data lines may vary, depending on the pixel formats supported. For
single-link output the pixel clock is limited to 96 MHz. In the case of dual link, the pixel clock is limited to 192
MHz (or 96 MHz per LVDS port). When in a dual-link configuration, LVDS channels D0 to D3 carry ODD pixel
data, and LVDS channels D4 to D7 carry EVEN pixel data.
The device can be configured in following modes:
• 1-lane FPD-Link III input, single-link OpenLDI output
• 1-lane FPD-Link III Input, Dual Link OpenLDI output
• 2-lane FPD-Link III Input, dual-link OpenLDI output
• 2-lane FPD-Link III Input, single-link OpenLDI output
• 2-lane FPD-Link III Input, single-link OpenLDI output (replicate)

7.4.1.1 1-Lane FPD-Link III Input, Single Link OpenLDI Output
In this configuration the PCLK rate embedded within the 1-lane FPD-Link III frame can range from 25 MHz to 96
MHz, resulting in a link rate of 875 Mbps (35 bit × 25 MHz) to 3.36 Gbps (35 bit × 96 MHz). Each LVDS data lane
operates at a speed of 7 bits per LVDS clock cycle; resulting in a serial line rate of 175 Mbps to 672 Mbps. CLK1
operates at the same rate as PCLK with a duty cycle ratio of 57:43.
7.4.1.2 1-Lane FPD-Link III Input, Dual Link OpenLDI Output
The input RGB data is split into odd and even pixels starting with the ODD (first) pixel outputs D0 to D3 and
then the EVEN (second) pixel outputs D4 to D7. The splitting of the data signals starts with DE (data enable)
transitioning from logic LOW to HIGH indicating active data.
In this configuration the PCLK rate embedded within the 1-lane FPD-Link III frame can range from 50 MHz to 96
MHz, resulting in a link rate of 1.75 Gbps (35 bit × 50 MHz) to 3.36 Gbps (35 bit × 96 MHz). Each LVDS data
lane operates at a speed of 7 bits per 2 LVDS clock cycles, resulting in a serial line rate of 175 Mbps to 336
Mbps. CLK1 and CLK2 operate at half the rate as PCLK with a duty cycle ratio of 57:43.
7.4.1.3 2-Lane FPD-Link III Input, Dual Link OpenLDI Output
The input RGB data is split into odd and even pixels starting with the ODD (first) pixel outputs D0 to D3 and
then the EVEN (second) pixel outputs D4 to D7. The splitting of the data signals starts with DE (data enable)
transitioning from logic LOW to HIGH indicating active data.
In this configuration the PCLK rate embedded within 2-lane FPD-Link III frame can range from 50 MHz to 192
MHz, resulting in a link rate of 875 Mbps (35 bit × 25 MHz) to 3.36 Gbps (35 bit × 96 MHz). Each LVDS data lane
will operate at a speed of 7 bits per 2 LVDS clock cycles, resulting in a serial line rate of 175 Mbps to 672 Mbps.
CLK1 and CLK2 operate at half the rate as PCLK with a duty cycle ratio of 57:43.
7.4.1.4 2-Lane FPD-Link III Input, Single Link OpenLDI Output
In this configuration the PCLK rate embedded within 2-lane FPD-Link III frame can range from 50 MHz to 192
MHz, resulting in a link rate of 875 Mbps (35 bit × 25 MHz) to 3.36 Gbps (35 bit × 96 MHz). Each LVDS data lane
will operate at a speed of 7 bits per LVDS clock cycle; resulting in a serial line rate of 350 Mbps to 1344 Mbps.
CLK1 operates at the twice the rate as PCLK with a duty cycle ratio of 57:43.
7.4.1.5 1-Lane FPD-Link III Input, Single Link OpenLDI Output (Replicate)
Same as 1-lane FPD-Link III input, single-link OpenLDI output mode, and duplicates the LVDS signal on D4 to
D7 outputs.
7.4.2 MODE_SEL[1:0]
Possible configurations are shown in Figure 7-15. These are described above (Section 7.4.1).

DS90UB948-Q1can be configured to output 24-bit color (RGB888) or 18-bit color (RGB666) with 2 different
mapping schemes, shown in Figure 7-18 and Figure 7-19. Each frame corresponds to a single pixel clock
(PCLK) cycle. The LVDS clock output from CLK1± and CLK2± follows a 4:3 duty cycle scheme, with each 28-bit
pixel frame starting with two LVDS bit clock periods high, three low, and ending with two high. The mapping
scheme is controlled by MODE_SEL0 pin or by Register (Section 7.7).
Table 7-10 lists common industry standard naming conventions for these LVDS bit mapping schemes.

7.5 Image Enhancement Features
Several image enhancement features are provided. The white-balance LUTs allow the user to define and map
the color profile of the display. Adaptive Hi-FRC dithering enables the presentation of 'true color' images on an
18-bit display.
7.5.1 White Balance
The white-balance feature enables similar display appearance when using LCD’s from different vendors. It
compensates for native color temperature of the display, and adjusts relative intensities of R, G, and B to
maintain specified color temperature. Programmable control registers are used to define the contents of three
LUTs (8-bit color value for Red, Green and Blue) for the white-balance feature. The LUTs map input RGB values
to new output RGB values. There are three LUTs, one LUT for each color. Each LUT contains 256 entries, 8-bits
per entry with a total size of 6144 bits (3 × 256 x 8). All entries are readable and writable. Calibrated values are
loaded into registers through the I2C interface (deserializer is a Target device). This feature may also be applied
to lower color depth applications such as 18-bit (666) and 16-bit (565). White balance is enabled and configured
via serial control bus register.
7.5.2 LUT Contents
The user must define and load the contents of the LUT for each color (R,G,B). Regardless of the color depth
being driven (888, 666, 656), the user must always provide contents for 3 complete LUTs: 256 colors × 8 bits ×
3 tables. Unused bits – LSBs – shall be set to 0 by the user. When 24-bit (888) input data is being driven to a
24-bit display, each LUT (R, G and B) must contain 256 unique 8-bit entries. The 8-bit white balanced data is
then available at the output of the deserializer, and driven to the display.
Alternatively, with 6-bit input data the user may choose to load complete 8-bit values into each LUT. This mode
of operation provides the user with finer resolution at the LUT output to more closely achieve the desired white
point of the calibrated display. Although 8-bit data is loaded, only 64 unique 8-bit white balance output values are
available for each color (R, G and B). The result is 8-bit white balanced data. Before driving to the output of the
deserializer, the 8-bit data must be reduced to 6-bit with an FRC dithering function. To operate in this mode, the
user must configure the deserializer to enable the FRC2 function.
Examples of the three types of LUT configurations described are shown in Figure 7-26.
Note
When the LUT programming is active, register access to the main page is restricted.

7.5.3 Enabling White Balance
The user must load all 3 LUTs prior to enabling the white balance feature. The following sequence must be
followed by the user to initialize white balance after power-on:
1. Load contents of all 3 LUTs . This requires a sequential loading of LUTs - first RED, second GREEN, third
BLUE. 256, 8-bit entries must be loaded to each LUT. Page registers must be set to select each LUT.
2. Enable white balance. By default, the LUT data may not be reloaded after initialization at power-on.
An option does exist to allow LUT reloading after power-on and initial LUT loading (as previously described).
This option may only be used after enabling the white-balance reload feature via the associated serial control
bus register. In this mode the LUTs may be reloaded by the host controller via I2C. This provides the user with
the flexibility to refresh LUTs periodically, or upon system requirements, to change to a new set of LUT values.
The host controller loads the updated LUT values via the serial bus interface. There is no need to disable the
white balance feature while reloading the LUT data. Refreshing the white balance to the new set of LUT data is
seamless — no interruption of displayed data. Please refer to the programming example in the next section.
Note that initial loading of LUT values requires that all 3 LUTs be loaded sequentially. When reloading, partial
LUT updates may be made; the LUT cannot be read.

7.5.4 Adaptive Hi-FRC Dithering
The adaptive frame rate control FRC dithering feature delivers product-differentiating image quality. It reduces
24-bit RGB (8 bits per sub-pixel) to 18-bit RGB (6 bits per sub-pixel), smoothing color gradients, and allowing the
flexibility to use lower cost 18-bit displays. FRC dithering is a method to emulate missing colors on a lower color
depth LCD display by changing the pixel color slightly with every frame. FRC is achieved by controlling on and
off pixels over multiple frames (temporal). Static dithering regulates the number of on and off pixels in a small
defined pixel group (spatial). The FRC module includes both temporal and spatial methods and also Hi-FRC.

Conventional FRC can display only 16,194,277 colors with 6-bit RGB source. Hi-FRC enables full (16,777,216)
color on an 18-bit LCD panel. The adaptive FRC module also includes input pixel detection to apply specific
Spatial dithering methods for smoother gray level transitions. When enabled, the lower LSBs of each RGB
output are not active; only 18-bit data (6 bits per R,G and B) are driven to the display. This feature is enabled via
serial control bus register. Two FRC functional blocks are available, and may be independently enabled. FRC1
precedes the white-balance LUT, and is intended to be used when 24-bit data is being driven to an 18-bit display
with a white-balance LUT that is calibrated for an 18-bit data source. The second FRC block, RC2, follows the
white balance block and is intended to be used when fine adjustment of color temperature is required on an
18-bit color display, or when a 24-bit source drives an 18-bit display with a white-balance LUT calibrated for
24-bit source data.
For proper operation of the FRC dithering feature, the user must provide a description of the display timing
control signals. The timing mode, sync mode (HS, VS) or DE only must be specified, along with the active
polarity of the timing control signals. All this information is entered to device control registers via the serial bus
interface.
Adaptive Hi-FRC dithering consists of several components. Initially, the incoming 8-bit data is expanded to
9-bit data. This allows the effective dithered result to support a total of 16.7 million colors. The incoming 9-bit
data is evaluated, and one of four possible algorithms is selected. The majority of incoming data sequences
are supported by the default dithering algorithm. Certain incoming data patterns (black/white pixel, full on/off
sub-pixel) require special algorithms designed to eliminate visual artifacts associated with these specific gray
level transitions. Three algorithms are defined to support these critical transitions.
An example of the default dithering algorithm is shown in Figure 7-27. The 1 or 0 value shown in Figure 7-27
Figure 7-27 describes whether the 6-bit value is increased by 1 (“1”) or left unchanged (“0”). In this case, the 3
truncated LSBs are 001.

7.6 Programming
7.6.1 Serial Control Bus
The device may also be configured by the use of a I2C-compatible serial control bus. Multiple devices may share
the serial control bus (up to eight device addresses supported). The device address is set through a resistor
divider (RHIGH and RLOW — see Figure 7-28 below) connected to the IDx pin.

Figure 7-28. Serial Control Bus Connection
The serial control bus consists of two signals, SCL and SDA. SCL is a serial bus clock input. SDA is the serial
bus data input / output signal. Both SCL and SDA signals require an external pullup resistor to 1.8-V or 3.3-V
VI2C. For most applications, TI recommends that the user adds a 4.7-kΩ pullup resistor to the VDD33 or 2.2 kΩ
resistor to the VDD18. However, the pullup resistor value may be adjusted for capacitive loading and data rate
requirements. The signals are either pulled high or driven low. For more details information on how to calculate
the pullup resistor, see I2C Bus Pullup Resistor Calculation (SLVA689).
The IDx pin configures the control interface to one of eight possible device addresses. A pullup resistor and a
pulldown resistor may be used to set the appropriate voltage ratio between the IDx input pin (VLOW) and VDD33,
each ratio corresponding to a specific device address. See Table 7-11 for more information.

To communicate with a remote device, the host controller sends the Target address and listens for a response
from the Target. This response is referred to as an acknowledge bit (ACK). If a Target on the bus is addressed
correctly, it acknowledges (ACKs) the Controller by driving the SDA bus low. If the address does not match the
Target address of a device, the Target not-acknowledges (NACKs) the Controller by letting the SDA be pulled
High. ACKs also occur on the bus when data is transmitted. When the Controller writes data, the Target sends
an ACK after every data byte is successfully received. When the Controller reads data, the Controller sends an
ACK after every data byte is received to let the Target know that the Controller is ready to receive another data
byte. When the Controller wants to stop reading, the Controller sends a NACK after the last data byte to create
a stop condition on the bus. All communication on the bus begins with either a start condition or a repeated
Start condition. All communication on the bus ends with a stop condition. A READ is shown in Figure 7-30 and a
WRITE is shown in Figure 7-31.

The I2C Controller located in the deserializer must support I2C clock stretching. For more information on I2C
interface requirements and throughput considerations, refer to the I2C Communication Over FPD-Link III with
Bidirectional Control Channel (SNLA131).
Note
I2C access over the BCC requires each transaction be terminated with a STOP rather than a repeated
START.
Note
Serial Control Bus does not spport short format read over the BCC
7.6.2 Multi-Controller Arbitration Support
The bidirectional control channel in the FPD-Link III devices implements I2C-compatible bus arbitration in the
proxy I2C Controller implementation. When sending a data bit, each I2C Controller senses the value on the SDA
line. If the Controller sends a logic 1 but senses a logic 0, the Controller loses arbitration. The Controller will
stop driving SDA and retry the transaction when the bus becomes idle. Thus, multiple I2C Controllers may be
implemented in the system.
For example, there might also be a local I2C Controller at each camera. The local I2C Controller could access
the image sensor and EEPROM. The only restriction would be that the remote I2C Controller at the camera

should not attempt to access a remote Target through the BCC that is located at the host controller side of
the link. In other words, the control channel should only operate in camera mode for accessing remote Target
devices to avoid issues with arbitration across the link. The remote I2C Controller should also not attempt to
access the deserializer registers to avoid a conflict in register access with the Host controller.
If the system does require Controller-Target operation in both directions across the BCC, some method of
communication must be used to ensure only one direction of operation occurs at any time. The communication
method could include using available R/W registers in the deserializer to allow Controllers to communicate with
each other to pass control between the two Controllers. An example would be to use register 0x18 or 0x19 in the
deserializer as a mailbox register to pass control of the channel from one Controller to another.
7.6.3 I2C Restrictions on Multi-Controller Operation
The I2C specification does not provide for arbitration between Controllers under certain conditions. The system
should make sure the following conditions cannot occur to prevent undefined conditions on the I2C bus:
• One Controller generates a repeated start while another Controller is sending a data bit.
• One Controller generates a stop while another Controller is sending a data bit.
• One Controller generates a repeated start while another Controller sends a stop.
Note that these restrictions mainly apply to accessing the same register offsets within a specific I2C Target.
7.6.4 Multi-Controller Access to Device Registers for Newer FPD-Link III Devices
When using the latest generation of FPD-Link III devices (DS90UB94x-Q1), serializers or deserializer registers
may be accessed simultaneously from both local and remote I2C Controllers. These devices have internal logic
to properly arbitrate between sources to allow proper read and write access without risk of corruption.
Access to remote I2C Targets is still be allowed in only one direction at a time (camera or display mode).
7.6.5 Multi-Controller Access to Device Registers for Older FPD-Link III Devices
When using older FPD-Link III devices (in backward compatible mode), simultaneous access to serializer
or deserializer registers from both local and remote I2C Controllers may cause incorrect operation. Thus,
restrictions must be imposed on accessing of serializer and deserializer registers. The likelihood of an error
occurrence is relatively small, but it is possible for collision on reads and writes to occur, resulting in a read or
write error.
TI recommends two basic options:
• Allow device register access only from one controller.
•
In a display mode system, this would allow only the host controller to access the serializer registers (local)
and the deserializer registers (remote). A controller at the deserializer (local to the display) would not be
allowed to access the deserializer or serializer registers.
Allow local register access only with no access to remote serializer or deserializer registers.
The host controller would be allowed to access the serializer registers while a controller at the deserializer
could access those register only. Access to remote I2C Targets would still be allowed in one direction
(camera or display mode).
In a very limited case, remote and local access could be allowed to the deserializer registers at the same
time. Register access is ensured to work correctly if both local and remote Controllers are accessing the same
deserializer register. This allows a simple method of passing control of the bidirectional control channel from one
Controller to another.
7.6.6 Restrictions on Control Channel Direction for Multi-Controller Operation
Only display or camera mode operation should be active at any time across the bidirectional control channel.
If both directions are required, some method of transferring control between I2C Controllers should be
implemented.

A write to this register will enable a frequency counter to count
the number of pixel clock during a specified time interval. The time
interval is equal to the value written multiplied by the oscillator clock
period (nominally 50ns). A read of the register returns the number
of pixel clock edges seen during the enabled interval. The frequency
counter will freeze at 0xff if it reaches the maximum value. The
frequency counter will provide a rough estimate of the pixel clock
period. If the pixel clock frequency is known, the frequency counter
may be used to determine the actual oscillator clock frequency.

CMLOUT driver must be enabled by setting 0x56[3] = 1. Note:
This must match 0x52[7] setting for PORT0 or PORT1.Note: Due
to internal routing differences between CMLOUT0 and CMLOUT1
inside the device, CMLOUT1 monitor may show significantly
degraded performance when compared to CMLOUT0, especially at
high PCLK frequency. This does not necessarily indicate an issue
with the true channel performance.

8 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The DS90UB948-Q1 is a FPD-Link III deserializer which, in conjunction with the DS90UB949/947-Q1 serializers,
converts 1-lane or 2-lane FPD-Link III streams into a FPD-Link (OpenLDI) interface. The deserializer is capable
of operating over cost-effective 50-Ω single-ended coaxial or 100-Ω differential shielded twisted-pair (STP)
cables. It recovers the data from two FPD-Link III serial streams and translates it into dual pixel FPD-Link (data
lanes + clock) supporting video resolutions up to WUXGA and 2K with 24-bit color depth. This provides a bridge
between HDMI enabled sources such as GPUs to connect to existing LVDS displays or application processors.
8.2 Typical Applications
Bypass capacitors must be placed near the power supply pins. At a minimum, use four (4) 10-µF capacitors for
local device bypassing. Ferrite beads are placed on the two sets of supply pins (VDD33 and VDDIO) for effective
noise suppression. The interface to the graphics source is LVDS. The VDDIO pins may be connected to 3.3 V
or 1.8 V. A capacitor and resistor are placed on the PDB pin to delay the enabling of the device until power
is stable. See Figure 8-1 for a typical STP connection diagram and Figure 8-2 for a typical coax connection
diagram.

The SER/DES supports only AC-coupled interconnects through an integrated DC-balanced decoding scheme.
External AC-coupling capacitors must be placed in series in the FPD-Link III signal path as shown in Figure 8-4.
For applications using single-ended 50-Ω coaxial cable, the unused data pins (RIN0– and RIN1–) must use a
15-nF to 47-nF capacitor and must be terminated with a 50-Ω resistor.

Line RAPIDESIGNER Operation and Application Guide (SNLA035) for full details.

Use 100-Ω coupled differential pairs
Use the S/2S/3S rule in spacings
– S = space between the pair
– 2S = space between pairs
– 3S = space to LVCMOS signal
Minimize the number of Vias
Maintain balance of the traces
Minimize skew within the pair
Terminate as close to the TX outputs and RX inputs as possible
Additional general guidance can be found in the LVDS Owner’s Manual (SNLA187) available in PDF format from
the Texas Instruments web site.
8.2.2.2 AV Mute Prevention
The "UH" Deserializers support AV MUTE functionality when receiving the specifically defined data pattern
(0x666666) during the blanking period (DE = LOW). Once the device enters the AV MUTE state, the device
mutes both audio and video outputs resulting in a black display screen.
Be advised if the video source continues sending random data during blanking interval, the DS90UB948-Q1 may
inadvertently enter the AV MUTE state upon receiving random data matching the AV MUTE command pattern.
When paired with a UB version FPD-Link compatible serializer, setting the gate DE Register 0x04[4] will prevent
video signals from being sent during the blanking interval. This will ensure AV MUTE mode is not entered during
normal operation. By default the Data Enable (DE) signal is assumed to be active high. If DE is active low, then
setting DE_POLARITY register bit 0x12 bit[5] = 1 is also required. With the DE permanently LOW, deserializers
do not check for the AV Mute conditions, so the AV Mute is not an issue when operating with HSYNC/VSYNC
only mode displays.
If unexpected AV MUTE state is seen, it is recommended to verify checking the data path control setting of the
paired Serializer. This setting is not accessible from DS90UB948Q-Q1.

8.2.2.3 Prevention of I2C Errors During Abrupt System Faults
In rare instances, FPD-Link III bi-directional control channel data errors caused by system fault conditions (e.g.
abrupt power downs of the remote serializer or cable disconnects) may result in the DS90UB948Q-Q1 sending
inadvertent I2C transactions on the local I2C bus prior to determining loss of valid signal.
For minimizing impact of these types of events, TI suggests the following precautions:
• Set DS90UB948Q-Q1 register 0x04 = 0x02 to minimize the duration of inadvertent I2C events
• Ensure all I2C Controllers on the bus support multi-Controller arbitration
• Assign I2C addresses with more than a single bit set to 1 for all devices on the I2C bus
– 0x6A, 0x7B, and 0x37 are examples of good choices for an I2C address
– 0x40 and 0x20 are examples of bad choices for an I2C address

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device provides separate power and ground pins for different portions of the circuit. This is done to isolate
switching noise effects between different sections of the circuit. Separate planes on the PCB are typically not
required. Table 5-1 provides guidance on which circuit blocks are connected to which power pin pairs. In some
cases, an external filter many be used to provide clean power to sensitive circuits such as PLLs.
9.1 Power-Up Requirements and PDB Pin
When power is applied, power from the highest voltage rail to the lowest voltage rail on any of the supply pins.
For 3.3-V IO operation, VDDIO and VDD33 can be powered by the same supply and ramped simultaneously.
Use a large capacitor on the PDB pin to ensure PDB arrives after all the supply pins have settled to the
recommended operating voltage. When PDB pin is pulled up to VDD33, a 10-kΩ pullup and a > 10–μF capacitor
to GND are required to delay the PDB input signal rise. All inputs must not be driven until both VDD33 and
VDDIO has reached steady state. Pins VDD33_A and VDD33_B must both be externally connected, bypassed,
and driven to the same potential (they are not internally connected).

Note that the DS90UB948Q-Q1 should be powered up after a compatible Serializer has started sending valid video data. If this
condition is not satisfied, then a digital (software) reset or hard reset (toggling PDB pin) is required after receiving the input data. This
requirement prevents the DS90UB948Q-Q1 from locking to any random or noise signal, ensures DS90UB948Q-Q1 has a deterministic
startup behavior, specified lock time, and optimal adaptive equalizer setting.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Circuit board layout and stack-up for the FPD-Link III devices must be designed to provide low-noise power
feed to the device. Good layout practice also separates high frequency or high-level inputs and outputs to
minimize unwanted stray noise pick-up, feedback, and interference. Power system performance may be greatly
improved by using thin dielectrics (2 to 4 mils) for power/ground sandwiches. This arrangement provides plane
capacitance for the PCB power system with low-inductance parasitics, which has proven especially effective
at high frequencies, and makes the value and placement of external bypass capacitors less critical. External
bypass capacitors should include both RF ceramic and tantalum electrolytic types. RF capacitors may use
values in the range of 0.01 μF to 0.1 μF. Ceramic capacitors may be in the 2.2-μF to 10-μF range. The voltage
rating of the ceramic capacitors must be at least 5× the power supply voltage being used.
TI recommends surface-mount capacitors due to their smaller parasitics. When using multiple capacitors per
supply pin, place the smaller value closer to the pin. A large bulk capacitor is recommend at the point of
power entry. This is typically in the 50-μF to 100-μF range, which smooths low frequency switching noise. TI
recommends connecting power and ground pins directly to the power and ground planes with bypass capacitors
connected to the plane with via on both ends of the capacitor. Connecting power or ground pins to an external
bypass capacitor increases the inductance of the path.
A small body size X7R chip capacitor, such as 0603 or 0402, is recommended for external bypass. The small
body size reduces the parasitic inductance of the capacitor. The user must pay attention to the resonance
frequency of these external bypass capacitors, usually in the range of 20 to 30 MHz. To provide effective
bypassing, multiple capacitors are often used to achieve low impedance between the supply rails over the
frequency of interest. At high frequency, it is also common practice to use two vias from power and ground pins
to the planes to reduce the impedance at high frequency.
Some devices provide separate power and ground pins for different portions of the circuit. This is done to isolate
switching noise effects between different sections of the circuit. Separate planes on the PCB are typically not
required. Pin Description tables typically provide guidance on which circuit blocks are connected to which power
pin pairs. In some cases, an external filter may be used to provide clean power to sensitive circuits such as
PLLs.
Locate LVCMOS signals away from the differential lines to prevent coupling from the LVCMOS lines to the
differential lines. Differential impedance of 100 Ω are typically recommended for STP interconnect and singleended impedance of 50 Ω for coaxial interconnect. The closely coupled lines help to ensure that coupled noise
appears as common-mode and thus is rejected by the receivers. The tightly coupled lines also radiate less.
Information on the WQFN package is provided AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401).
10.2 Ground
TI recommends that a consistent ground plane reference for the high-speed signals in the PCB design to provide
the best image plane for signal traces running parallel to the plane. Connect the thermal pad of the device to this
plane with vias.
At least 32 thermal vias are necessary from the device center DAP to the ground plane. They connect the
device ground to the PCB ground plane, as well as conduct heat from the exposed pad of the package to the
PCB ground plane. More information on the WQFN style package, including PCB design and manufacturing
requirements, is provided in AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNLU165).
10.3 Routing FPD-Link III Signal Traces
Routing the FPD-Link III signal traces between the RIN pins and the connector is the most critical pieces of a
successful PCB layout. Figure 10-2 shows an example PCB layout. For additional PCB layout details of the
example, refer to the DS90UH948-Q1EVM User's Guide (SNLU162).
The following list provides essential recommendations for routing the FPD-Link III signal traces between the
receiver input pins (RIN) and the connector.

The routing of the FPD-Link III traces may be all on the top layer or partially embedded in middle layers if EMI
is a concern.
The AC-coupling capacitors should be on the top layer and very close to the receiver input pins.
Route the RIN traces between the AC-coupling capacitor and the connector as a 100-Ω differential microstrip with tight impedance control (±10%). Calculate the proper width of the traces for a 100-Ω differential
impedance based on the PCB stack-up.
When choosing to implement a common mode choke for common mode noise reduction, minimize the effects
of any impedance mismatch.
Consult with connector manufacturer for optimized connector footprint. If the connector is mounted on the
same side as the IC, minimize the impact of the thru-hole connector stubs by routing the high-speed signal
traces on the opposite side of the connector mounting side.
