Texas Instruments TDES960 4.16Gbps V3Link Deserializer Quad Hub

Texas Instruments TDES960 4.16Gbps V3Link Deserializer Quad Hub is a versatile sensor hub capable of connecting serialized sensor data received from four independent video data streams through a V3Link interface. When paired with a TSER953 serializer, the TDES960 receives data from sensors such as imagers supporting full HD 1080p/2MP resolution at 60Hz frame rates. Data is received and aggregated into a MIPI CSI-2 compliant output for interconnecting to a downstream processor. A second MIPI CSI-2 output port is available to provide additional bandwidth or offers a second replicated output for data-logging and parallel processing.

The TDES960 includes four V3Link deserializers, each enabling a connection through cost-effective 50Ω single-ended coaxial or 100Ω differential STP cables. The receive equalizers automatically adapt to compensate for cable loss characteristics, including degradation over time. Each of the V3Link interfaces also includes a separate low latency bidirectional control channel that continuously conveys I2C, GPIOs, and other control information. General-purpose I/O signals, such as those required for camera synchronization and diagnostics features, also make use of this bidirectional control channel. The Texas Instruments TDES960 is offered in a cost-effective and space-saving 64-pin VQFN package.
