Product details
Overview
DS90CF363MTDX from Texas Instruments is a +3.3V programmable LVDS transmitter for 18-bit flat panel display (FPD) links, converting 21-bit CMOS/TTL data (18 RGB + 3 control) into three LVDS data streams plus one LVDS clock stream. It supports 20–65 MHz shift clock, delivers up to 1.3 Gbps aggregate throughput, and operates across −40°C to +85°C for XGA (1024×768) single-pixel-per-clock timing in LCD panel interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CF363MTDX datasheet, DS90CF363MTDX pinout, DS90CF363MTDX application, or DS90CF363MTDX equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed FPD Link timing behavior, real-world power-down current (<0.5 mW), and direct alternative options for display interface redesigns requiring EMI reduction and cable size optimization.
Technical Context
The DS90CF363MTDX implements a PLL-based LVDS transmitter with programmable strobe edge selection (rising or falling) via R_FB pin, enabling interoperability with both rising- and falling-edge receivers like DS90CF364 without translation logic. Its internal phase-locked transmit clock is embedded alongside data over four differential pairs - three for data, one for clock - supporting synchronous sampling at every clock cycle.
It accepts 21 parallel TTL/CMOS inputs (6R/6G/6B + FPLINE/FPFRAME/DRDY), drives LVDS outputs with 290 mV differential swing (250–450 mV typ), and maintains channel-to-channel skew ≤250 ps at 65 MHz. The device integrates separate power domains (VCC, LVDS VCC, PLL VCC) and supports full TRI-STATE on all outputs during power-down mode.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DS90CF363MTDX uses a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP-DGG), 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with exposed thermal pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant in tape), marked by beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TxIN[0:20] | CMOS/TTL Input | 21-bit parallel data bus: 6 red, 6 green, 6 blue, plus FPLINE (HSYNC), FPFRAME (VSYNC), DRDY (data enable). |
| FPSHIFT IN (TxCLK IN) | Input Clock | Falling-edge strobe clock input; defines sampling edge for TxIN data - configurable via R_FB pin. |
| R_FB | Strobe Select Control | Logic-high = rising-edge strobe; logic-low = falling-edge strobe; enables compatibility with legacy 5V FPD Link receivers. |
| TxOUT+[0:2], TxOUT−[0:2] | LVDS Data Output | Three differential pairs carrying 18-bit RGB + 3 control bits; each pair handles 7 bits (21 bits / 3 lanes). |
| RTxCLK OUT+, TxCLK OUT− | LVDS Clock Output | Differential transmit clock output synchronized to data; eliminates need for separate clock routing. |
| PWR DWN | Power-Down Enable | Active-low control: asserts TRI-STATE on all LVDS outputs and reduces supply current to <0.5 mW. |
| VCC, LVDS VCC, PLL VCC | Power Supplies | Separate 3.3 V rails for TTL I/O (3 pins), LVDS drivers (1 pin), and PLL core (1 pin) - minimizes cross-domain noise coupling. |
| GND, LVDS GND, PLL GND | Ground Returns | Dedicated ground pins per domain (4 TTL GND, 3 LVDS GND, 2 PLL GND) - essential for signal integrity in high-speed FPD links. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS transmitter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90C363MTDX | Non-programmable falling-edge strobe only; no R_FB pin; pin-compatible but fixed timing behavior. | Suitable only for systems with falling-edge graphics controllers; lacks flexibility for mixed-source designs. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs strobe configurability and legacy 5V FPD Link compatibility is unnecessary. |
| SN65LVDS31IPW | Quad LVDS line driver (4 channels); no integrated PLL or clock embedding; requires external clock distribution. | Used in non-FPD contexts (e.g., camera sensor links, FPGA interconnect); lacks FPLINE/FPFRAME/DRDY mapping support. | Choose for custom high-speed serial links where clock/data separation is acceptable and FPD Link protocol compliance is not required. |
Compared with DS90C363MTDX, DS90CF363MTDX adds strobe edge programming and backward compatibility with 5V FPD Link receivers; compared with SN65LVDS31IPW, it integrates clock embedding and display-specific control signal handling - making it uniquely suited for drop-in replacement in XGA+ LCD timing applications.

FAQ
What is the function of the R_FB pin on DS90CF363MTDX?
The R_FB pin on DS90CF363MTDX selects the data strobe edge: logic-high configures rising-edge sampling, logic-low enables falling-edge sampling. This programmability allows DS90CF363MTDX to interoperate directly with both rising-edge (e.g., DS90CR563) and falling-edge (e.g., DS90CF563) legacy FPD Link receivers without external logic. The pin is internally pulled down, so leaving it unconnected defaults DS90CF363MTDX to falling-edge operation.
Does DS90CF363MTDX support XGA resolution at 60 Hz?
Yes, DS90CF363MTDX supports single-pixel-per-clock XGA (1024×768) at 60 Hz using a 65 MHz pixel clock. At this rate, it transmits 18-bit RGB plus 3 control bits (FPLINE, FPFRAME, DRDY) across three LVDS data lanes at 455 Mbps per lane, achieving 1.3 Gbps aggregate throughput. The device's 20–65 MHz clock range and guaranteed timing margins ensure reliable operation under worst-case pattern conditions.
How does DS90CF363MTDX handle power-down mode?
When PWR DWN is driven low, DS90CF363MTDX places all LVDS outputs (TxOUT+/- and RTxCLK OUT+/-) into high-impedance TRI-STATE and reduces total supply current to less than 0.5 mW. This mode preserves signal integrity on shared LVDS buses and enables dynamic power gating in battery-powered or thermally constrained display systems. Recovery time from power-down is 100 ns, as specified in the DS90CF363MTDX datasheet.
Is DS90CF363MTDX pin-compatible with DS90C363MTDX?
Yes, DS90CF363MTDX is pin-compatible with DS90C363MTDX in the same TSSOP-48 (DGG) package. The R_FB pin on DS90CF363MTDX replaces a VCC connection on DS90C363MTDX, but occupies the same physical location (Pin 14). When tied to VCC, DS90CF363MTDX behaves identically to DS90C363MTDX - making it a drop-in upgrade path for systems requiring strobe edge flexibility or 5V-to-3.3V migration.
What is the maximum cable length supported by DS90CF363MTDX?
DS90CF363MTDX does not specify a fixed maximum cable length, as performance depends on cable type, impedance matching, and noise environment. However, its 400 ps receiver skew margin (RSKM) at 65 MHz - derived from transmitter pulse position tolerances and internal sampling window - accommodates typical LVDS interconnect skew (10–40 ps/ft), inter-symbol interference, and sub-250 ps clock jitter. With proper 100 Ω controlled-impedance twisted-pair cabling, reliable operation exceeds 30 cm in most industrial and automotive implementations.
