Product details
Overview
DS90CF386SLC/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 28-bit LVDS-to-LVCMOS deserializer IC for flat-panel display (FPD) links, converting four LVDS data streams and one LVDS clock into parallel 24-bit RGB + 4 control signals (HSYNC/VSYNC/DE/CNTL) at up to 85 MHz. It features an internal PLL with no external components, <142 mW typical power at 85 MHz grayscale, and supports VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA displays in embedded video interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CF386SLC/NOPB datasheet, DS90CF386SLC/NOPB pinout, DS90CF386SLC/NOPB application, or DS90CF386SLC/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include 28-bit parallel output mapping, 100-Ω LVDS termination requirement, falling-edge strobed RxCLKOUT timing, and compatibility with FPD-Link I transmitters across PCB traces or LVDS cables.
Technical Context
The DS90CF386SLC/NOPB implements a dedicated FPD-Link I receiver architecture with five differential LVDS inputs (four data + one clock), phase-locking to input clock frequencies from 20 MHz to 85 MHz. Its internal PLL recovers the clock and generates a synchronized RxCLKOUT signal used to strobe all 28 LVCMOS outputs on the falling edge.
Each LVDS data channel operates at 140–595 Mbps, delivering up to 2.38 Gbps aggregate throughput. The device requires external 100-Ω differential termination per LVDS pair and supports power-down mode via active-low PWR_DWN pin, reducing supply current to ≤400 μA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Input Standard | TIA/EIA-644 LVDS compliant; requires 100-Ω differential termination per pair |
| Data Width | 28-bit parallel LVCMOS output: 24-bit RGB + 4 control bits (HSYNC/VSYNC/DE/CNTL) |
| Max Clock Rate | 85 MHz input LVDS clock; enables 595 Mbps per LVDS lane and 2.38 Gbps total throughput |
| Power Consumption | ≤142 mW typical at 85 MHz grayscale; ≤1.44 mW max in power-down mode |

Pinout & Package
DS90CF386SLC/NOPB is packaged in a 56-pin TSSOP (DGG) with 14.00 mm × 6.10 mm body size and 0.5-mm lead pitch. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 64.6°C/W. Pin functions are validated per TI SNLS055J Rev J datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RxIN0+ / RxIN0− | LVDSDifferential Data Input Pair 0 | Accepts first serialized 7-bit LVDS data stream; requires 100-Ω termination across pins |
| RxIN1+ / RxIN1− | LVDSDifferential Data Input Pair 1 | Accepts second serialized 7-bit LVDS data stream; matched routing critical for skew control |
| RxIN2+ / RxIN2− | LVDSDifferential Data Input Pair 2 | Accepts third serialized 7-bit LVDS data stream; referenced to LVDS_GND and LVDS_VCC |

| RxCLKIN+ / RxCLKIN− | LVDSDifferential Clock Input | Carries recovered 20–85 MHz clock; PLL locks to this signal to generate RxCLKOUT |
| RxCLKOUT | LVCMOS Clock Output | Falling-edge strobe synchronizing all 28 RxOUT signals; matches transmitter timing for latch alignment |
| PWR_DWN | Active-Low Power-Down Control | Drives all RxOUT low when asserted; reduces ICC to ≤400 μA without affecting input bias state |
| RxOUT[0:27] | LVCMOS Parallel Data Outputs | 28 single-ended outputs mapped per Figure 8: RxOUT[0:23] = RGB, RxOUT[24:27] = HSYNC/VSYNC/DE/CNTL |
| VCC / GND / LVDS_VCC / LVDS_GND / PLL_VCC / PLL_GND | Power and Ground Terminals | Dedicated supply domains isolate LVCMOS outputs, LVDS receivers, and PLL for jitter reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS deserializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90CF366MTD/NOPB | 21-bit output (18-bit RGB + 3 control); 3 LVDS data lanes; lower pin count (48-TSSOP) | Suitable for 18-bit RGB panels (e.g., SVGA, XGA) but lacks CNTL bit and 4th data lane | Select when panel resolution ≤1280×1024 and control signal count ≤3; saves PCB area and cost |
| SN65LVDS32PW | Quad LVDS receiver only (no deserialization or PLL); 4-channel, single-ended CMOS outputs | Requires external deserializer and clock recovery; not a functional substitute for FPD-Link I | Use only for custom LVDS signal conditioning where full FPD-Link I protocol stack is implemented elsewhere |
Compared with DS90CF366MTD/NOPB, DS90CF386SLC/NOPB adds 7-bit data width, CNTL signal support, and higher throughput for 24-bit RGB panels; SN65LVDS32PW lacks integrated PLL and deserialization, making it unsuitable as a direct alternative for FPD-Link I systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by DS90CF386SLC/NOPB?
The DS90CF386SLC/NOPB supports an input LVDS clock up to 85 MHz, resulting in 595 Mbps per LVDS data lane and a total throughput of 2.38 Gbps. This enables full 24-bit RGB video transmission at resolutions including SXGA (1280×1024) at 60 Hz, as confirmed in TI SNLS055J Section 3 and Table 6.6.
Does DS90CF386SLC/NOPB require external components for PLL operation?
No, DS90CF386SLC/NOPB integrates a fully self-contained PLL that requires no external capacitors or resistors. As stated in the Features section and Section 7.3.2 of the datasheet, the PLL locks directly to the incoming LVDS clock, eliminating loop filter components and simplifying board design.
How is the 28-bit output mapped on DS90CF386SLC/NOPB?
The DS90CF386SLC/NOPB maps its 28 LVCMOS outputs as RxOUT[0:23] = 24-bit RGB (R[7:0], G[7:0], B[7:0]) and RxOUT[24:27] = HSYNC, VSYNC, DE, and CNTL, per Figure 8 in the TI SNLS055J datasheet. This mapping is fixed and non-configurable.
What is the function of the PWR_DWN pin on DS90CF386SLC/NOPB?
The PWR_DWN pin on DS90CF386SLC/NOPB is an active-low control that places the device into ultra-low-power mode (<400 μA ICC), driving all RxOUT signals low while preserving input bias stability. It is intended for use during video blanking or system sleep states, as detailed in Section 7.4.1.
Can DS90CF386SLC/NOPB interface directly with a 3.3-V FPGA I/O bank?
Yes, DS90CF386SLC/NOPB outputs standard 3.3-V LVCMOS signals with VOH ≥2.7 V and VOL ≤0.3 V under 2-mA load, matching LVTTL/LVCMOS voltage thresholds. Its 3.0–3.6 V VCC range and ±15-μA input leakage ensure safe, rail-to-rail compatibility with 3.3-V FPGA I/O banks without level-shifting.
