The DS90CR486VSX/NOPB is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component designed by Texas Instruments. It is a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) that allows high-speed transmission of parallel data over long distances using low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) technology.
Key features of the DS90CR486VSX/NOPB include high-speed data transmission, low power consumption, and robust signal integrity. It supports 5-bit parallel data inputs and outputs at a rate of up to 250 Mbps, making it suitable for various applications, including flat-panel displays, automotive infotainment systems, and industrial control systems.
The IC incorporates an internal clock multiplier that generates an internal high-frequency clock by multiplying the input clock frequency. This feature simplifies the design, as users only need to provide a single clock input. In addition, it includes built-in phase-locked loops (PLLs) for clock recovery and data alignment, ensuring reliable data transmission even in noisy environments.
Another notable feature is its advanced LVDS technology, which enables long-distance transmission with minimal signal degradation. LVDS is known for its low-power consumption and improved noise immunity, making the DS90CR486VSX/NOPB suitable for high-reliability applications where signal integrity is crucial.
The DS90CR486VSX/NOPB also includes a control bus for configuring various settings such as serialization mode, power mode, and clock source selection
