Product details
Overview
DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a dual-pixel LVDS display receiver IC for FPD-Link interfaces, converting 8-channel LVDS differential data and clock into 48-bit TTL RGB + 3 control outputs (HSYNC/VSYNC/DE). It supports up to 112 MHz pixel clock, delivers 5.7 Gbps aggregate bandwidth, and operates from 3.0–3.6 V supply in industrial temperature range (−10°C to +70°C) for QXGA-resolution flat-panel displays.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB datasheet, DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB pinout, DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB application, or DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-pixel timing recovery, programmable DE strobe edge, pre-emphasis compatibility with DS90C387A transmitter, RSKM skew margin at 112 MHz, and TQFP-100 package layout constraints.
Technical Context
The DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB implements a PLL-based LVDS clock recovery architecture synchronized to incoming differential clock (RxCLK INP/M), supporting both single- and dual-pixel modes via external configuration. Its internal data sampling window (RSPOS) and 170 ps receiver skew margin (RSKM) at 112 MHz enable robust timing alignment across long cable runs.
It features programmable control strobe polarity (R_FDE), power-down mode (PD) forcing outputs low, STOPCLK indicator for clock loss detection, and compatibility with ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995 LVDS standard. The receiver accepts 8 LVDS data pairs (AnP/AnM) and one LVDS clock pair, outputting 51 TTL signals including 16R/16G/16B and HSYNC/VSYNC/DE.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Pixel Clock | 112 MHz - enables QXGA (2048×1536) at 60 Hz with dual-pixel mapping |
| Total Bandwidth | 5.7 Gbps - achieved via 8 × 784 Mbps LVDS lanes, sufficient for 48-bit RGB + 3 control |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails; 100 mVp-p noise tolerance |
| Operating Temp | −10°C to +70°C - qualified for industrial display applications, not automotive or extended temp |
| Receiver Skew Margin | 170 ps at 112 MHz - defines minimum allowable interconnect skew + source jitter budget |
| Power-Down Current | 255–300 µA - enables low-power standby without full system shutdown |
| LVDS Input Range | 0–2.4 V differential - compliant with ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995; rejects common-mode noise |
Pinout & Package
DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB uses a 100-pin TQFP (VJD100A) package with exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and MSL Level-3 moisture sensitivity rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AnP[0:7] | LVDS positive data input | Differential inputs for 8 serialized data channels; mapped to RGB/control bits per FPD-Link protocol |
| AnM[0:7] | LVDS negative data input | Complementary inputs completing 8 differential pairs; require matched PCB trace lengths |
| RxCLK INP / RxCLK INM | LVDS clock input pair | Differential reference clock recovered by internal PLL; determines pixel rate and sampling phase |
| Rn[0:15], Gn[0:15], Bn[0:15] | TTL RGB data outputs | 48-bit parallel CMOS/TTL outputs; drive standard LCD timing controller inputs directly |
| DE, HSYNC, VSYNC | TTL control outputs | 3 active-high sync signals; DE maps to LVDS channel A2; HSYNC/VSYNC use dedicated pins |
| RxCLK OUT | TTL clock output | Falling-edge strobe synchronized to recovered clock; used as data latch signal by downstream logic |
| R_FDE | Control strobe select input | Configures DE active polarity: high = DE high enables data, low = DE low enables data |
| PD | Power-down enable input | Active-low control; forces all outputs low and disables PLL when asserted |
| STOPCLK | LVDS clock presence indicator | Open-drain output; logic high indicates missing RxCLK IN, enabling fault detection in host system |
| VCC / GND / PLLVCC / PLLGND / LVDSVCC / LVDSGND | Power and ground terminals | Separate supplies isolate digital, PLL, and LVDS receiver domains to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable DE strobe polarity | R_FDE pin selects whether data is valid on DE high or DE low, enabling direct interface with diverse GPU controllers |
| 170 ps receiver skew margin at 112 MHz | Guarantees reliable data capture across PCB/cable skew up to 170 ps, critical for >2 m cable runs |
| STOPCLK clock-loss indicator | Provides hardware-level fault signaling without software polling, simplifying system diagnostics |
| Backward-compatible FPD-Link receiver | Interoperates with legacy DS90C387A transmitter and supports dual-clock configurations for panel flexibility |
| Low-jitter PLL recovery | Delivers <100 ps cycle-to-cycle jitter on RxCLK OUT at 112 MHz, preserving timing integrity for high-res panels |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS display receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90CF386AMT/NOPB | Single-pixel 24-bit receiver; no dual-pixel support; max 85 MHz clock; 64-pin TSSOP | Suitable only for SXGA or lower resolutions; lacks RSKM spec and STOPCLK indicator | Select when cost-sensitive designs require only 24-bit color and shorter cable runs (<1.5 m) |
| SN65LVDS32PW | Generic LVDS receiver; no embedded PLL; no RGB mapping; 16-pin TSSOP | Requires external clock generation and parallelization logic; not a drop-in replacement | Choose only for custom LVDS deserialization where full FPD-Link protocol handling is unnecessary |
Compared with DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB, DS90CF386AMT/NOPB reduces pin count and cost but sacrifices QXGA readiness and skew margin; SN65LVDS32PW offers minimal integration and demands significant external logic, making it unsuitable for direct display interface replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported pixel clock frequency for DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB?
The DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB supports a maximum pixel clock frequency of 112 MHz, enabling QXGA (2048×1536) resolution at 60 Hz in dual-pixel mode. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under RCOP (RxCLK OUT Period) and verified by worst-case timing analysis at 112 MHz in the Receiver Switching Characteristics section.
Does DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB support single-pixel mode operation?
Yes, DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB supports single-pixel mode when paired with a DS90C387A transmitter configured with DUAL = GND. In this mode, the receiver processes 24-bit RGB + 3 control signals mapped to the first four LVDS data channels, reducing bandwidth requirements while maintaining full timing compatibility.
What is the function of the STOPCLK pin on DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB?
The STOPCLK pin on DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB is an open-drain output that asserts logic high when the LVDS clock input (RxCLK INP/M) is absent or invalid. It provides hardware-level clock-loss detection without requiring software polling, enabling rapid system fault response in mission-critical displays.
How does DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB handle differential input jitter?
DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB incorporates a PLL-based clock recovery circuit with jitter attenuation capability. At 112 MHz, its cycle-to-cycle jitter on RxCLK OUT is specified ≤100 ps, ensuring stable sampling of recovered data even when input clock jitter reaches ±3 ns, as validated in Figures 13–14 and AN-1059.
What package type and thermal characteristics does DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB use?
DS90CF388AVJD/NOPB uses a 100-pin TQFP (VJD100A) package with exposed thermal pad. Its maximum power dissipation is 2.8 W at +25°C, derating at 18.2 mW/°C above ambient. The package carries MSL Level-3 rating (260°C peak reflow, 168-hour floor life), requiring moisture-sensitive handling per JEDEC J-STD-020.
