The DS90CF384MTD is an integrated circuit (IC) component produced by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) family of devices and is primarily used for transmitting high-speed digital video or graphics data over long distances through a single twisted pair cable.
Key features of the DS90CF384MTD include:
1. High-Speed Data Transmission: The IC supports data rates up to 135 MHz, enabling the transmission of high-resolution video signals such as UXGA (1600x1200) or 1080p.
2. Differential Signaling: The IC utilizes a differential signaling scheme, reducing the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, leading to reliable data transmission over long distances.
3. Single Twisted Pair Cable: With advanced data encoding techniques like 8b/10b encoding, the DS90CF384MTD enables data transmission over a single twisted pair cable, simplifying installation and reducing cable routing complexity.
4. Transition-Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) Support: The IC is fully compatible with TMDS signals used in digital video applications like DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). It can interface easily with various graphics controllers, video processors, and display devices.
5. Pre-Emphasis and Equalization: The IC integrates programmable pre-emphasis and equalization circuitry to compensate for signal degradation caused by cable length or impairments
