Product details
Overview
DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-pixel LVDS display interface receiver IC designed for high-resolution flat-panel display interconnects. It deserializes 8-channel LVDS data (up to 672 Mbps per channel) into 48-bit CMOS/TTL RGB outputs, supports QXGA resolution at 112 MHz pixel clock, and features DC-balanced data recovery, cable deskew (±1 LVDS bit time), and 5V-tolerant control inputs. It operates from a 3.3 V supply and targets host-to-display links in industrial and medical displays.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB datasheet, DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB pinout, DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB application, or DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-pixel LVDS deserialization capability, DC-balance auto-detection, deskew support up to 80 MHz, and compatibility with DS90C387 transmitter-based OpenLDI interfaces.
Technical Context
The DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB implements a PLL-based LVDS-to-TTL parallel conversion architecture with automatic DC-balance mode detection. It accepts eight differential LVDS data pairs and one LVDS clock pair, reconstructing timing via internal PLL lock and recovering 48-bit RGB + control signals (HSYNC, VSYNC, DE) during active video or blanking intervals.
Its DESKEW function operates only in DC-balance mode and adjusts sampling strobes to compensate for fixed inter-pair skew up to ±1 LVDS bit time (e.g., ±12.5 ps at 80 MHz). The receiver provides TTL-level outputs with 1.5–2.0 ns transition times and supports programmable DE strobe edge selection and backward-compatible FPD-Link interoperability via optional second LVDS clock input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| LVDS Input Channels | 8 differential data pairs + 1 clock pair - enables full 48-bit dual-pixel RGB transport over low-noise differential lines |
| Max Pixel Clock Support | 112 MHz - supports QXGA (2048×1536) at dual-pixel rate with 5.38 Gbps aggregate bandwidth |
| DC Balance Mode | Auto-detect enabled when BAL = HIGH - reduces ISI distortion and extends usable cable length beyond 5 m |
| Cable Deskew Range | ±1 LVDS bit time (up to 80 MHz clock) - corrects fixed inter-pair skew without requiring external calibration |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails and low-power system design |
| Input Tolerance | 5 V tolerant on CMOS/TTL control inputs (R_FDE, PD, BAL, DESKEW, PLLSEL) - simplifies level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems |
| Power Down Current | 255–300 µA - maintains ultra-low standby power while holding outputs low and clock high |
Pinout & Package
DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB is housed in a 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with dedicated power domains: VCC (TTL I/O), LVDSVCC (LVDS receivers), and PLLVCC (PLL circuitry).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AnP[0:7] | LVDS positive data input | Accepts 8 differential LVDS data streams; mapping depends on DUAL mode and DC-balance setting |
| AnM[0:7] | LVDS negative data input | Complementary input to AnP[n]; forms 8 matched differential pairs for noise-immune data recovery |
| RxCLK INP / RxCLK INM | LVDS clock input pair | Provides reference clock for PLL lock; used to detect DC-balance mode and enable deskew |
| Rn/Gn/Bn[0:15], DE, HSYNC, VSYNC | TTL parallel output bus | 48-bit RGB + 3 control signals; outputs driven at 3.3 V with 1.5–2.0 ns transitions |
| BAL | DC-balance mode select | HIGH enables auto-detect of DC-balanced transmission; LOW forces non-DC-balanced (FPD-Link) mode |
| DESKEW | Deskew enable input | Active HIGH only functional in DC-balance mode; initiates intra-blanking-time deskew calibration |
| PD | Power-down control | LOW asserts power-down state: outputs go low (data) or high (clock), current drops to ≤300 µA |
| STOPCLK | LVDS clock loss indicator | Open-drain output pulled HIGH when no valid LVDS clock detected; LOW indicates stable lock |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-detect DC-balance mode | Eliminates manual configuration: DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB identifies DS90C387's BAL setting and applies correct bit mapping |
| Cable deskew with ±1-bit tolerance | Compensates for fixed inter-pair skew up to ±12.5 ps at 80 MHz without external delay elements or calibration firmware |
| 5V-tolerant control inputs | Allows direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers or timing controllers without level shifters on R_FDE, PD, BAL, DESKEW |
| Backward-compatible FPD-Link support | Operates with legacy FPD-Link transmitters via CLK2P/M pins and non-DC-balance mode (BAL = LOW) |
| Low-jitter PLL recovery | Phase lock loop achieves <100 ps cycle-to-cycle jitter rejection at 112 MHz, preserving timing margin in high-speed links |
Applications
| Medical Imaging Displays | Industrial Control 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90CF564MTD/NOPB | Higher-speed 10-bit-per-lane receiver (up to 135 MHz); supports WQXGA; includes integrated spread-spectrum clocking | Targets next-gen panels beyond QXGA; requires updated layout for 128-pin BGA and tighter impedance control | Select when migrating to >2048×1536 resolution or requiring reduced EMI via SSCG |
| SN65LVDS32PW | Single-channel LVDS receiver (4 data + 1 clock); no deserialization, no DC balance, no deskew; 3.3 V only | Limited to low-bandwidth auxiliary links (e.g., touch controller sync), not main display data paths | Use only for point-to-point control signaling where full 48-bit parallel recovery is unnecessary |
Compared with DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB, DS90CF564MTD/NOPB delivers higher resolution support but demands more complex PCB routing and thermal management, while SN65LVDS32PW offers minimal integration for non-video roles-neither matches the balanced combination of QXGA readiness, auto-DC-balance, and cable deskew in the DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported pixel clock frequency for DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB in dual-pixel mode?
The DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB supports up to 112 MHz pixel clock frequency in dual-pixel mode, enabling QXGA (2048×1536) resolution with 48-bit RGB data. This corresponds to an aggregate data rate of 5.38 Gbps across all 8 LVDS lanes. Operation above 112 MHz is not specified or guaranteed per the SNLS012H datasheet.
Does DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB require external configuration to detect DC-balanced vs. non-DC-balanced transmission?
No. DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB automatically detects DC-balanced transmission when the BAL pin is HIGH and uses the received LVDS clock signal to determine interface mode. This auto-detection eliminates manual register writes or boot-time configuration, ensuring seamless interoperability with DS90C387 transmitters in either mode.
Can DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB operate with a 5 V input voltage on its control pins?
Yes. DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB features 5 V tolerance on R_FDE, PD, BAL, DESKEW, and PLLSEL control inputs. This allows direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or timing controllers without external level shifters, simplifying system design and reducing BOM count.
What is the purpose of the STOPCLK pin on DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB?
The STOPCLK pin on DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB is an open-drain status indicator that outputs HIGH when no valid LVDS clock is present at RxCLK INP/M, and LOW when a stable clock is detected and PLL lock is achieved. It provides hardware-level clock presence monitoring for system fault detection and safe startup sequencing.
How does the DESKEW function work in DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB, and when is it active?
The DESKEW function in DS90CF388VJDX/NOPB adjusts internal sampling strobes to compensate for fixed inter-pair skew up to ±1 LVDS bit time. It is active only when both BAL = HIGH (DC-balance mode) and DESKEW = HIGH, and requires ≥4 clock cycles during vertical/horizontal blanking intervals to complete calibration.
