DS90UR905Q/DS90UR906Q
May 26, 2010
5 - 65 MHz 24-bit Color FPD-Link II Serializer and
Deserializer
General Description
The DS90UR905Q/906Q chipset translates a parallel RGB
Video Interface into a high-speed serialized interface over a
single pair. This serial bus scheme greatly eases system de-
sign by eliminating skew problems between clock and data,
reduces the number of connector pins, reduces the intercon-
nect size, weight, and cost, and overall eases PCB layout. In
addition, internal DC balanced decoding is used to support
AC-coupled interconnects.
The DS90UR905Q Ser (serializer) embeds the clock, bal-
ances the data payload, and level shifts the signals to high-
speed low voltage differential signaling. Up to 24 inputs are
serialized along with the three video control signals. This sup-
ports full 24-bit color or 18-bit color and 6 general purpose
signals (e.g. Audio I2S) applications.
The DS90UR906Q Des (deserializer) recovers the data
(RGB) and control signals and extracts the clock from the se-
rial stream. It is able to lock to the incoming data stream
without the use of a training sequence or special SYNC pat-
terns, and does not require a reference clock. A link status
(LOCK) output signal is provided.
Serial transmission is optimized by a user selectable de-em-
phasis, differential output level select features, and receiver
equalization. EMI is minimized by the use of low voltage dif-
ferential signaling, receiver drive strength control, and spread
spectrum clocking compatibility. The Des may be configured
to generate Spread Spectrum Clock and Data on its parallel
outputs.
The DS90UR905Q (Ser) is offered in a 48-pin LLP and the
DS90UR906Q (Des) is offered in a 60-pin LLP package. They
are specified over the automotive AEC-Q100 grade 2 tem-
perature range of -40°C to +105°C.

DS90UR905Q/DS90UR906Q
Functional Description
The DS90UR905Q / DS90UR906Q chipset transmits and re-
ceives 27-bits of data (24-high speed color bits and 3 low
speed video control signals) over a single serial FPD-Link II
pair operating at 140Mbps to 1.82Gbps. The serial stream al-
so contains an embedded clock, video control signals and the
DC-balance information which enhances signal quality and
supports AC coupling. The pair is intended for use with each
other but is backward compatible with previous generations
of FPD-Link II as well.
The Des can attain lock to a data stream without the use of a
separate reference clock source, which greatly simplifies sys-
tem complexity and overall cost. The Des also synchronizes
to the Ser regardless of the data pattern, delivering true au-
tomatic “plug and lock” performance. It can lock to the incom-
ing serial stream without the need of special training patterns
or sync characters. The Des recovers the clock and data by
extracting the embedded clock information, validating and
then deserializing the incoming data stream providing a par-
allel LVCMOS video bus to the display.
The DS90UR905Q / DS90UR906Q chipset can operate in 24-
bit color depth (with VS,HS,DE encoded in the DCA bit) or in
18-bit color depth (with VS, HS, DE encoded in DCA or
mapped into the high-speed data bits). In 18–bit color appli-
cations, the three video signals maybe sent encoded via the
DCA bit (restrictions apply) or sent as “data bits” along with
three additional general purpose signals.
Block Diagrams for the chipset are shown at the beginning of
this datasheet.
Data Transfer
The DS90UR905Q / DS90UR906Q chipset will transmit and
receive a pixel of data in the following format: C1 and C0 rep-
resent the embedded clock in the serial stream. C1 is always
HIGH and C0 is always LOW. b[23:0] contain the scrambled
RGB data. DCB is the DC-Balanced control bit. DCB is used
to minimize the short and long-term DC bias on the signal
lines. This bit determines if the data is unmodified or inverted.
DCA is used to validate data integrity in the embedded data
stream and can also contain encoded control (VS,HS,DE).
Both DCA and DCB coding schemes are generated by the
Ser and decoded by the Des automatically. Figure 19 illus-
trates* the serial stream per PCLK cycle. *Note: The figure
only illustrates the bits but does not actually represent the bit
location as the bits are scrambled and balanced continuously.

COMPATIBILITY (CONFIG[1:0])
The DS90UR905Q / DS90UR906Q chipset is also backward
compatible with previous generations of FPD-Link II. Config-
uration modes are provided for backwards compatibility with
the DS90C241 / DS90C124 FPD-Link II Generation 1, and
also the DS90UR241 / DS90UR124 FPD-Link II Generation
2 chipset by setting the respective mode with the CONFIG
[1:0] pins on the Ser or Des as shown in Table 1 and Table
2. The selection also determine whether the Video Control

VIDEO CONTROL SIGNAL FILTER — Ser and Des
When operating the devices in Normal Mode, the Video Con-
trol Signals (DE, HS, VS) have the following restrictions:
Normal Mode with Control Signal Filter Enabled:
DE and HS — Only 2 transitions per 130 clock cycles are
transmitted, the transition pulse must be 3 PCLK or longer.
Normal Mode with Control Signal Filter Disabled:
DE and HS — Only 2 transitions per 130 clock cycles are
transmitted, no restriction on minimum transition pulse.
VS — Only 1 transition per 130 clock cycles are
transmitted, minimum pulse width is 130 clock cycles.
Video Control Signals are defined as low frequency signals
with limited transitions. Glitches of a control signal can cause
a visual display error. This feature allows for the chipset to
validate and filter out any high frequency noise on the control
signals. See Figure 20.

SERIALIZER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Ser converts a wide parallel input bus to a single serial
output data stream, and also acts as a signal generator for
the chipset Built In Self Test (BIST) mode. The device can be
configured via external pins or through the optional serial
control bus. The Ser features enhance signal quality on the
link by supporting: a selectable VOD level, a selectable de-
emphasis signal conditioning and also the FPD-Link II data
coding that provides randomization, scrambling, and DC Bal-
anacing of the video data. The Ser includes multiple features
to reduce EMI associated with display data transmission. This
includes the randomization and scrambling of the data and
also the system spread spectrum PCLK support. The Ser
features power saving features with a sleep mode, auto stop
clock feature, and optional LVCMOS (1.8 V) parallel bus com-
patibility.
See also the Functional Description of the chipset's serial
control bus and BIST modes.
EMI Reduction Features
Data Randomization & Scrambling
Text to come.
Ser — Spread Spectrum Compatibility
The Ser PCLK is capable of tracking spread spectrum clock-
ing (SSC) from a host source. The PCLK will accept spread
spectrum tracking up to 35kHz modulation and ±0.5, ±1 or
±2% deviations (center spread). The maximum conditions for
the PCLK input are: a modulation frequency of 35kHz and
amplitude deviations of ±2% (4% total).
Signal Quality Enhancers
Ser — VOD Select (VODSEL)
The Ser differential output voltage may be increased by set-
ting the VODSEL pin High. When VODSEL is Low, the VOD
is at the standard (default) level. When VODSEL is High, the
DC VOD is increased in level. The increased VOD is useful
in extremely high noise environments and also on extra long
cable length applications. When using de-emphasis it is rec-
ommended to set VODSEL = H to avoid excessive signal
attenuation especially with the larger de-emphasis settings.
This feature may be controlled by the external pin or by reg-
ister.

Ser — De-Emphasis (De-Emph)
The De-Emph pin controls the amount of de-emphasis be-
ginning one full bit time after a logic transition that the Ser
drives. This is useful to counteract loading effects of long or
lossy cables. This pin should be left open for standard switch-
ing currents (no de-emphasis) or if controlled by register. De-
emphasis is selected by connecting a resistor on this pin to
ground, with R value between 0.5 k to 1 M, or by register
setting. When using De-Emphasis it is recommended to set
VODSEL = H.

Power Saving Features
Ser — Power Down Feature (PDB)
The Ser has a PDB input pin to ENABLE or POWER DOWN
the device. This pin is controlled by the host and is used to
save power, disabling the link when the display is not needed.
In the POWER DOWN mode, the high-speed driver outputs
are both pulled to VDD and present a 0V VOD state. Note –
in POWER DOWN, the optional Serial Bus Control Registers
are RESET.
Ser — Stop Clock Feature
The Ser will enter a low power SLEEP state when the PCLK
is stopped. A STOP condition is detected when the input clock
frequency is less than 3 MHz. The clock should be held at a
static Low or high state. When the PCLK starts again, the Ser
will then lock to the valid input PCLK and then transmits the
RGB data to the Des. Note – in STOP CLOCK SLEEP, the
optional Serial Bus Control Registers values are RE-
TAINED.
1.8V or 3.3V VDDIO Operation
The Ser parallel bus and Serial Bus Interface can operate with
1.8 V or 3.3 V levels (VDDIO) for host compatibility. The 1.8 V
levels will offer lower noise (EMI) and also a system power
savings.
Ser — Pixel Clock Edge Select (RFB)
The RFB pin determines the edge that the data is latched on.
If RFB is High, input data is latched on the Rising edge of the
PCLK. If RFB is Low, input data is latched on the Falling edge
of the PCLK. Ser and Des maybe set differently. This feature
may be controlled by the external pin or by register.
Optional Serial Bus Control
Please see the following section on the optional Serial Bus
Control Interface.

DS90UR905Q/DS90UR906Q
Optional BIST Mode
Please see the following section on the chipset BIST mode
for details.
DESERIALIZER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Des converts a single input serial data stream to a wide
parallel output bus, and also provides a signal check for the
chipset Built In Self Test (BIST) mode. The device can be
configured via external pins and strap pins or through the op-
tional serial control bus. The Des features enhance signal
quality on the link by supporting: an equalizer input and also
the FPD-Link II data coding that provides randomization,
scrambling, and DC balanacing of the data. The Des includes
multiple features to reduce EMI associated with display data
transmission. This includes the randomization and scram-
bling of the data and also the output spread spectrum clock
generation (SSCG) support. The Des features power saving
features with a power down mode, and optional LVCMOS (1.8
V) interface compatibility.
Signal Quality Enhancers
Des — Input Equalizer Gain (EQ)
The Des can enable receiver input equalization of the serial
stream to increase the eye opening to the Des input. Note this
function cannot be seen at the RxIN+/- input but can be ob-
served at the serial test port (CMLOUTP/N) enabled via the
Serial Bus control registers. The equalization feature may be
controlled by the external pin or by register.

EMI Reduction Features
Des — Output Slew (OS_PCLK/DATA)
The parallel bus outputs (RGB[7:0], VS, HS, DE and PCLK)
of the Des feature a selectable output slew. The DATA ((RGB
[7:0], VS, HS, DE) are controlled by strap pin or register bit
OS_DATA. The PCLK is controlled by strap pin or register bit
OS_PCLK. When the OS_PCLK/DATA = HIGH, the maxi-
mum slew rate is selected. When the OS_PCLK/DATA =
LOW, the minimum slew rate is selected. Use the higher slew
rate setting when driving longer traces or a heavier capacitive
load.
Des — Common Mode Filter Pin (CMF) — Optional
The Des provides access to the center tap of the internal ter-
mination. A capacitor may be placed on this pin for additional
common-mode filtering of the differential pair. This can be
useful in high noise environments for additional noise rejec-
tion capability. A 0.1µF capacitor may be connected to this
pin to Ground.
Des — SSCG Generation — Optional
The Des provides an internally generated spread spectrum
clock (SSCG) to modulate its outputs. Both clock and data
outputs are modulated. This will aid to lower system EMI.
Output SSCG deviations to ±2.0% (4% total) at up to 35kHz
modulations nominally are available. See Table 6. This fea-
ture may be controlled by external STRAP pins or by register.

1.8V or 3.3V VDDIO Operation
The Des parallel bus and Serial Bus Interface can operate
with 1.8 V or 3.3 V levels (VDDIO) for target (Display) compat-
ibility. The 1.8 V levels will offer a lower noise (EMI) and also
a system power savings.
Power Saving Features
Des — PowerDown Feature (PDB)
The Des has a PDB input pin to ENABLE or POWER DOWN
the device. This pin can be controlled by the system to save
power, disabling the Des when the display is not needed. An
auto detect mode is also available. In this mode, the PDB pin
is tied High and the Des will enter POWER DOWN when the
serial stream stops. When the serial stream starts up again,
the Des will lock to the input stream and assert the LOCK pin
and output valid data. In POWER DOWN mode, the Data and
PCLK output states are determined by the OSS_SEL status.
Note – in POWER DOWN, the optional Serial Bus Control
Registers are RESET.
Des — Stop Stream SLEEP Feature
The Des will enter a low power SLEEP state when the input
serial stream is stopped. A STOP condition is detected when
the embedded clock bits are not present. When the serial
stream starts again, the Des will then lock to the incoming
signal and recover the data. Note – in STOP STREAM
SLEEP, the optional Serial Bus Control Registers values are
RETAINED.
Des — CLOCK-DATA RECOVERY STATUS FLAG (LOCK)
and OUTPUT STATE SELECT (OSS_SEL)
When PDB is driven HIGH, the CDR PLL begins locking to
the serial input and LOCK goes from TRI-STATE to LOW
(depending on the value of the OSS_SEL setting). After the
DS90UR906Q 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
parallel bus and PCLK outputs. The PCLK output is held at
its current state at the change from OSC_CLK (if this is en-
abled via OSC_SEL) to the recovered clock (or vice versa).
If there is a loss of clock from the input serial stream, LOCK
is driven Low and the state of the RGB/VS/HS/DE outputs are
based on the OSS_SEL setting (STRAP PIN configuration or
register).
Des — Oscillator Output — Optional
The Des provides an optional PCLK output when the input
clock (serial stream) has been lost. This is based on an inter-
nal oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator may be selected.
This feature may be controlled by the external pin or by reg-
ister. See Table 9 and Table 10.

Des — OP_LOW — Optional
The OP_ LOW feature is used to hold the LVCMOS outputs
(except the LOCK output) at a LOW state. The user must tog-
gle the OP_LOW Set/Reset register bit to release the outputs
to the normal toggling state. Note that the release of the out-
puts can only occur when LOCK is HIGH. When the OP_LOW
feature is enabled, anytime LOCK = LOW, the LVCMOS out-
puts will toggle to a LOW state again. The OP_ LOW strap
pin feature is assigned to output PASS pin 42.
Restrictions on other straps:
1) Other straps should not be used in order to keep RGB[7:0],
HS, VS, DE, and PCLK at a true LOW state. Other features
should be selected thru I2C.
2) OSS_SEL function is not available when O/P_LOW is tied
H.
Outputs RGB[7:0], HSYNC, VSYNC, DE, and PCLK are in
TRI-STATE before PDB toggles HIGH because the OP_LOW
strap value has not been recognized until the DS90UR906
powers up. Figure 26 shows the user controlled release of
OP_LOW and automatic reset of OP_LOW set on the falling
edge of LOCK. Figure 27 shows the user controlled release
of OP_LOW and manual reset of OP_LOW set. Note manual
reset of OP_LOW can only occur when LOCK is H.

Des — Pixel Clock Edge Select (RFB)
The RFB pin determines the edge that the data is strobed on.
If RFB is High, output data is strobed on the Rising edge of
the PCLK. If RFB is Low, data is strobed on the Falling edge
of the PCLK. This allows for inter-operability with downstream
devices. The Des output does not need to use the same edge
as the Ser input. This feature may be controlled by the exter-
nal pin or by register.
Des — Control Signal Filter — Optional
The Des provides an optional Control Signal (VS, HS, DE)
filter that monitors the three video control signals and elimi-
nates any pulses that are 1 or 2 PCLKs wide. Control signals
must be 3 pixel clocks wide (in its HIGH or LOW state, re-
gardless of which state is active). This is set by the CONFIG
[1:0] or by the Control Register. This feature may be controlled
by the external pin or by Register.

Des — Strap Input Pins
Configuration of the device maybe done via configuration in-
put pins and the STRAP input pins, or via the Serial Control
Bus. The STRAP input pins share select parallel bus output
pins. They are used to load in configuration values during the
initial power up sequence of the device. Only a pull-up on the
pin is required when a HIGH is desired. By default the pad
has an internal pull down, and will bias Low by itself. The rec-
ommended value of the pull up is 10 kΩ to VDDIO; open (NC)
for Low, no pull-down is required (internal pull-down). If using
the Serial Control Bus, no pull ups are required.
Optional Serial Bus Control
Please see the following section on the optional Serial Bus
Control Interface.
Optional BIST Mode
Please see the following section on the chipset BIST mode
for details.

DS90UR905Q/DS90UR906Q
Built In Self Test (BIST)
An optional At-Speed Built In Self Test (BIST) feature sup-
ports the testing of the high-speed serial link. This is useful in
the prototype stage, equipment production, in-system test
and also for system diagnostics. In the BIST mode only a input
clock is required along with control to the Ser and Des BIS-
TEN input pins. The Ser outputs a test pattern (PRBS7) and
drives the link at speed. The Des detects the PRBS7 pattern
and monitors it for errors. A PASS output pin toggles to flag
any payloads that are received with 1 to 24 errors. Upon com-
pletion of the test, the result of the 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 Des
BISTEN pin. During the BIST duration the deserializer data
outputs toggle with a checkerboard pattern.
Inter-operability is supported between this FPD-Link II device
and all FPD-Link II generations (Gen 1/2/3) — see respective
datasheets for details on entering BIST mode and control.
Sample BIST Sequence
See Figure 28 for the BIST mode flow diagram.
Step 1: Place the DS90UR905Q Ser in BIST Mode by setting
Ser BISTEN = H. For the DS90UR905Q Ser or DS99R421
FPD-Link II Ser BIST Mode is enabled via the BISTEN pin.
For the DS90C241 Ser or DS90UR241 Ser, BIST mode is
enetered by setting all the input data of the device to Low
state. A PCLK is required for all the Ser options. When the
Des detects the BIST mode pattern and command (DCA and
DCB code) the RGB and control signal outputs are shut off.
Step 2: Place the DS90UR906Q Des in BIST mode by setting
the BISTEN = H. The Des is now in the BIST mode and checks
the incoming serial payloads for errors. If an error in the pay-
load (1 to 24) is detected, the PASS pin will switch 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.
Step 3: To Stop the BIST mode, the Des BISTEN pin is set
Low. The Des stops checking the data and the final test result
is held on the PASS pin. If the test ran error free, the PASS
output will be High. If there was one or more errors detected,
the PASS output will be Low. The PASS output state is held
until a new BIST is run, the device is RESET, or Powered
Down. The BIST duration is user controlled by the duration of
the BISTEN signal.
Step 4: To return the link to normal operation, the Ser BISTEN
input is set Low. The Link returns to normal operation.
Figure 29 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 trans-
mission etc.), thus they may be introduced by greatly extend-
ing the cable length, faulting the interconnect, reducing signal
condition enhancements (De-Emphasis, VODSEL, or Rx
Equalization).
30102043
FIGURE 28. BIST Mode Flow Diagram
BER Calculations
It is possible to calculate the approximate Bit Error Rate
(BER). The following is required:
Pixel Clock Frequency (MHz)
BIST Duration (seconds)
BIST test Result (PASS)
The BER is less than or equal to one over the product of 24
times the PCLK rate times the test duration. If we assume a
65MHz PCLK, a 10 minute (600 second) test, and a PASS,
the BERT is 1.07 X 10E-12
The BIST mode runs a check on the data payload bits. The
LOCK pin also provides a link status. It the recovery of the C0
and C1 bits does not reconstruct the expected clock signal,
the LOCK pin will switch Low. The combination of the LOCK
and At-Speed BIST PASS pin provides a powerful tool for
system evaluation and performance monitoring.

Optional Serial Bus Control
The Ser and Des may also be configured by the use of a serial
control bus that is I2C protocol compatible. By default, the I2C
reg_0x00'h is set to 00'h and all configuration is set by control/
strap pins. A write of 01'h to reg_0x00'h will enable/allow con-
figuration by registers; this will override the control/strap pins.
Multiple devices may share the serial control bus since mul-
tiple addresses are supported. See Figure 30.
The serial bus is comprised of three pins. The SCL is a Serial
Bus Clock Input. The SDA is the Serial Bus Data Input / Out-
put signal. Both SCL and SDA signals require an external pull
up resistor to VDDIO. For most applications a 4.7 k pull up re-
sistor to VDDIO may be used. The resistor value may be
adjusted for capacitive loading and data rate requirements.
The signals are either pulled High, or driven Low.
30102041
FIGURE 30. Serial Control Bus Connection
The third pin is the ID[X] pin. This pin sets one of four possible
device addresses. Two different connections are possible.
The pin may be pulled to VDD (1.8V, NOT VDDIO)) with a 10
k resistor; or a 10 k pull up resistor (to VDD 1.8V, NOT
VDDIO)) and a pull down resistor of the recommended value
to set other three possible addresses may be used. See Table
12 for the Ser and Table 13 for the Des. Do not tie ID[x] directly
to VSS.
The Serial Bus protocol is controlled by START, START-Re-
peated, and STOP phases. A START occurs when SCL
transitions Low while SDA is High. A STOP occurs when SDA
transition High while SCL is also HIGH. See Figure 31
30102051
FIGURE 31. START and STOP Conditions
To communicate with a remote device, the host controller
(master) sends the slave address and listens for a response
from the slave. This response is referred to as an acknowl-
edge bit (ACK). If a slave on the bus is addressed correctly,
it Acknowledges (ACKs) the master by driving the SDA bus
low. If the address doesn't match a device's slave address, it
Not-acknowledges (NACKs) the master by letting SDA be
pulled High. ACKs also occur on the bus when data is being
transmitted. When the master is writing data, the slave ACKs
after every data byte is successfully received. When the mas-
ter is reading data, the master ACKs after every data byte is
received to let the slave know it wants to receive another data
byte. When the master wants to stop reading, it NACKs after
the last data byte and creates 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 32
and a WRITE is shown in Figure 33.
Note: During initial power-up, a delay of 10ms will be required
before the I2C will respond.
If the Serial Bus is not required, the three pins may be left
open (NC).

DS90UR905Q/DS90UR906Q
Applications Information
DISPLAY APPLICATION
The DS90UR905Q/906Q chipset is intended for interface be-
tween a host (graphics processor) and a Display. It supports
an 24-bit color depth (RGB888) and up to 1024 X 768 display
formats. In a RGB888 application, 24 color bits (R[7:0], G[7:0],
B[7:0]), Pixel Clock (PCLK) and three control bits (VS, HS and
DE) are supported across the serial link with PCLK rates from
5 to 65 MHz. The chipset may also be used in 18-bit color
applications. In this application three to six general purpose
signals may also be sent from host to display.
The Des is expected to be located close to its target device.
The interconnect between the Des and the target device is
typically in the 1 to 3 inch separation range. The input capac-
itance of the target device is expected to be in the 5 to 10 pF
range. Care should be taken on the PCLK output trace as this
signal is edge sensitive and strobes the data. It is also as-
sumed that the fanout of the Des is one. If additional loads
need to be driven, a logic buffer or mux device is recom-
mended.
TYPICAL APPLICATION CONNECTION
Figure 34 shows a typical application of the DS90UR905Q
Ser in Pin control mode for a 65 MHz 24-bit Color Display
Application. The LVDS outputs require 100 nF AC coupling
capacitors to the line. The line driver includes internal termi-
nation. Bypass capacitors are placed near the power supply
pins. At a minimum, four 0.1 µF capacitors and a 4.7 µF ca-
pacitor should be used for local device bypassing. System
GPO (General Purpose Output) signals control the PDB and
BISTEN pins. In this application the RFB pin is tied Low to
latch data on the falling edge of the PCLK. The application
assumes the companion Des (DS90UR906Q) therefore the
configuration pins are also both tied Low. In this example the
cable is long, therefore the VODSEL pin is tied High and a
De-Emphasis value is selected by the resistor R1. The inter-
face to the host is with 1.8 V LVCMOS levels, thus the VDDIO
pin is connected also to the 1.8V rail. The Optional Serial Bus
Control is not used in this example, thus the SCL, SDA and
ID[x] pins are left open. A delay cap is placed on the PDB
signal to delay the enabling of the device until power is stable.

DS90UR905Q/DS90UR906Q
Figure 35 shows a typical application of the DS90UR906Q
Des in Pin/STRAP control mode for a 65 MHz 24-bit Color
Display Application. The LVDS inputs utilize 100 nF coupling
capacitors to the line and the Receiver provides internal ter-
mination. Bypass capacitors are placed near the power sup-
ply pins. At a minimum, seven 0.1 µF capacitors and two 4.7
µF capacitors should be used for local device bypassing. Sys-
tem GPO (General Purpose Output) signals control the PDB
and the BISTEN pins. In this application the RRFB pin is tied
Low to strobe the data on the falling edge of the PCLK.
Since the device in the Pin/STRAP mode, four 10 k pull up
resistors are used on the parallel output bus to select the de-
sired device features. CONFIG[1:0] is set to 01'b for Normal
Mode and Control Signal Filter ON, this is accomplished with
the STRAP pull-up on B7. The receiver input equalizer is also
enabled and set to provide 7.5 dB of gain, this is accomplished
with EQ[3:0] set to 1001'b with STRAP pull ups on G4 and
G7. To reduce parallel bus EMI, the SSCG feature is enabled
and set to 30 kHz and ±1% with SSC[3:0] set to 0010'b and
a STRAP pull-up on R4. The desired features are set with the
use of the four pull up resistors.
The interface to the target display is with 3.3V LVCMOS lev-
els, thus the VDDIO pin is connected to the 3.3 V rail. The
optional Serial Bus Control is not used in this example, thus
the SCL, SDA and ID[x] pins are left open. A delay cap is
placed on the PDB signal to delay the enabling of the device
until power is stable.

POWER UP REQUIREMENTS AND PDB PIN
The VDD (VDDn and VDDIO) supply ramp should be faster than
1.5 ms with a monotonic rise. If slower then 1.5 ms then a
capacitor on the PDB pin is needed to ensure PDB arrives
after all the VDD have settled to the recommended operating
voltage. When PDB pin is pulled to VDDIO, it is recommended
to use a 10 kΩ pull-up and a 22 uF cap to GND to delay the
PDB input signal.
NOISE MARGIN
TBD
TRANSMISSION MEDIA
The Ser/Des chipset is intended to be used in a point-to-point
configuration, through a PCB trace, or through twisted pair
cable. The Ser and Des provide internal terminations provid-
ing a clean signaling environment. The interconnect for LVDS
should present a differential impedance of 100 Ohms. Use
cables and connectors that have matched differential
impedance to minimize impedance discontinuities. Shielded
or un-shielded cables may be used depending upon the noise
environment and application requirements.
LIVE LINK INSERTION
The Ser and Des devices support live pluggable applications.
The automatic receiver lock to random data “plug & go” hot
insertion capability allows the DS90UR906Q to attain lock to
the active data stream during a live insertion event.
PCB LAYOUT AND POWER SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
Circuit board layout and stack-up for the LVDS Ser/Des de-
vices should be designed to provide low-noise power feed to
the device. Good layout practice will also separate high fre-
quency or high-level inputs and outputs to minimize unwanted
stray noise pickup, feedback and interference. Power system
performance may be greatly improved by using thin di-
electrics (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 es-
pecially effective at high frequencies, and makes the value
and placement of external bypass capacitors less critical. Ex-
ternal bypass capacitors should include both RF ceramic and
tantalum electrolytic types. RF capacitors may use values in
the range of 0.01 uF to 0.1 uF. Tantalum capacitors may be
in the 2.2 uF to 10 uF range. Voltage rating of the tantalum
capacitors should be at least 5X the power supply voltage
being used.
Surface mount capacitors are recommended due to their
smaller parasitics. When using multiple capacitors per supply
pin, locate the smaller value closer to the pin. A large bulk
capacitor is recommend at the point of power entry. This is
typically in the 50uF to 100uF range and will smooth low fre-
quency switching noise. It is recommended to connect 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 will increase the inductance of the
path.
A small body size X7R chip capacitor, such as 0603, is rec-
ommended for external bypass. Its 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 20-30 MHz. To provide ef-
fective bypassing, multiple capacitors are often used to
achieve low impedance between the supply rails over the fre-
quency of interest. At high frequency, it is also a common
practice to use two vias from power and ground pins to the
planes, reducing the impedance at high frequency.
Some devices provide separate power and ground pins for
different portions of the circuit. This is done to isolate switch-
ing 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 cas-
es, an external filter many be used to provide clean power to
sensitive circuits such as PLLs.
Use at least a four layer board with a power and ground plane.
Locate LVCMOS signals away from the LVDS lines to prevent
coupling from the LVCMOS lines to the LVDS lines. Closely-
coupled differential lines of 100 Ohms are typically recom-
mended for LVDS interconnect. The closely coupled lines
help to ensure that coupled noise will appear as common-
mode and thus is rejected by the receivers. The tightly cou-
pled lines will also radiate less.
Information on the LLP style package is provided in National
Application Note: AN-1187.
LVDS INTERCONNECT GUIDELINES
See AN-1108 and AN-905 for full details.
Use 100Ω 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
Use differential connectors when operating above
500Mbps line speed
Maintain balance of the traces
Minimize skew within the pair
Terminate as close to the TX outputs and RX inputs as
possible

ALTERNATE COLOR / DATA MAPPING
Color Mapped data Pin names are provided to specify a rec-
ommended mapping for 24-bit Color Applications. Seven [7]
is assumed to be the MSB, and Zero [0] is assumed to be the
LSB. While this is recommended it is not required. When con-
necting to earlier generations of FPD-Link II Ser and Des
devices, a color mapping review is recommended to ensure
the correct connectivity is obtained. Table 16 provides exam-
ples for interfacing to 18-bit applications with or without the
video control signals embedded. The DS90UR906Q Des also
provides additional flexibility with the MAP_SEL feature as
well.
