Product details
Overview
DS90CP04TLQ from Texas Instruments is a 4×4 non-blocking LVDS crosspoint switch with fully differential 1.5 Gbps data paths, 2.5 V single-supply operation, and dual configuration interfaces (serial + parallel). It routes any of four LVDS inputs to any of four LVDS outputs with <100 ps channel-to-channel skew and TRI-STATE outputs, used in high-speed serial backplanes and FPGA interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CP04TLQ datasheet, DS90CP04TLQ pinout, DS90CP04TLQ application, or DS90CP04TLQ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated WQFN-32 pin mapping, confirmed 1.5 Gbps LVDS switching performance, real-world timing constraints (tSW ≤ 150 ns), and two production-validated alternative parts for routing flexibility in multi-gigabit signal integrity designs.
Technical Context
The DS90CP04TLQ implements four independent 4:1 LVDS multiplexers sharing a common input set, enabling arbitrary INx→OUTy routing. Its architecture supports both serial (30-bit frame, SCLK/ SI/LOAD) and parallel (SEL0/SEL1/MODE) configuration modes, with cascading capability via CSO/CSCLK and RSO/RSCLK for matrix expansion.
Each differential output delivers 250–475 mV differential swing into 100 Ω, with 1.125–1.375 V offset voltage and <2.5 psRMS random jitter at 1.25 GHz. Propagation delay variation across channels is ≤100 ps in broadcast mode, and output enable/disable times are specified at 3–300 ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 1.5 Gbps - supports PCIe Gen1, SATA I, and LVDS camera links without retiming. |
| Supply Voltage | +2.5 V ±5% - requires four 0.01 µF low-ESR bypass capacitors per VDD pin for stable high-speed operation. |
| Differential Swing | 250–475 mV - ensures robust noise margin over FR4 traces up to 15 cm at 1.5 Gbps. |
| Output Skew | ≤100 ps (tSKCC) - enables synchronous fanout to multiple receivers in clock distribution or data replication. |
| Jitter Performance | ≤2.5 psRMS (1.25 GHz), ≤40 psP-P (K28.5 @ 1.5 Gb/s) - meets jitter budget for SerDes receiver CDR lock. |
| Switching Time | ≤150 ns (tSW) - allows dynamic reconfiguration during system idle cycles without data loss. |
| Input Common Mode | 0.05 V to 3.25 V - interoperable with LVDS, LVPECL, and 2.5 V CML drivers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
DS90CP04TLQ is housed in a 6×6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch WQFN-32 package with exposed thermal pad (DAP = GND). Pin numbering follows TI's NJE0032A standard; DAP must be connected to ground plane via ≥4 vias for thermal and AC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+ / IN1− to IN4+ / IN4− | Differential LVDS Inputs | Four bidirectional, fully differential input pairs shared across all four 4:1 MUXes; support DC-coupled or AC-coupled termination. |
| OUT1+ / OUT1− to OUT4+ / OUT4− | Differential LVDS Outputs | Four fully differential outputs with programmable routing and TRI-STATE control; each connects to any input pair. |
| SCLK, SI/SEL1, SEL0, LOAD, MODE | Serial/Parallel Control Inputs | LVCMOS interface supporting 0–100 MHz SCLK; MODE selects serial (MODE=0) or parallel (MODE=1) configuration mode. |
| CSO/CSCLK, RSO/RSCLK | Cascaded Serial Outputs | Buffered control outputs for daisy-chaining up to 64×64 device matrices; internal address decrement enables automatic routing. |
| VDD (Pins 1, 8, 17, 24) | Power Supply | Four dedicated 2.5 V supply pins-each requires local 0.01 µF bypass capacitor to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| GND (Pins 4, 20, 21, 29?) | Ground Reference | Four GND pins plus DAP (exposed pad) tied to PCB ground plane; DAP is primary thermal and low-inductance return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-blocking 4×4 LVDS Switching | Any input can be routed to any output simultaneously-enables flexible signal routing in FPGA I/O expansion and test equipment. |
| Two Configuration Modes | Serial interface (30-bit frame, read-back capable) and parallel select (SEL0/SEL1/MODE) allow boot-time static or runtime dynamic reconfiguration. |
| TRI-STATE LVDS Outputs | Individual output disable (tOFF ≤ 5 ns) permits bus sharing, hot-swap isolation, and power-aware channel gating in multi-drop systems. |
| Low-Jitter, Low-Skew Operation | ≤2.5 psRMS jitter and ≤100 ps channel skew preserve eye opening for 1.5 Gbps NRZ signals across all four channels. |
| Matrix Cascading Support | CSO/CSCLK and RSO/RSCLK enable scalable NxN crosspoint arrays using single SCLK/SI bus-reduces FPGA GPIO count and firmware complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS crosspoint switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9156 | 4×4 LVDS crosspoint; 2.5 V supply; 1.5 Gbps; but uses 3.3 V tolerant control I/O and lacks serial read-back capability. | Preferred where legacy 3.3 V microcontrollers control switching without level shifters; unsuitable for cascaded matrix configurations. | Select MAX9156 when system MCU operates at 3.3 V and serial daisy-chaining is unnecessary. |
| SN65LVDS302 | 4×4 LVDS switch; 3.3 V supply; 1.2 Gbps max; no serial interface-only parallel SEL pins; higher supply current (380 mA typical). | Better suited for fixed-configuration, low-jitter routing in industrial PLCs where reprogramming is infrequent. | Choose SN65LVDS302 for cost-sensitive, static-routing applications with 3.3 V infrastructure and no need for dynamic updates. |
Compared with DS90CP04TLQ, MAX9156 offers 3.3 V-compatible control but sacrifices matrix scalability and configuration verification, while SN65LVDS302 trades programmability and power efficiency for simpler interface and broader voltage tolerance-making DS90CP04TLQ optimal for reconfigurable, high-density, low-power 2.5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the DS90CP04TLQ?
The DS90CP04TLQ supports DC to 1.5 Gbps operation across all channels, verified with K28.5 pattern testing and characterized up to 2.5 Gbps for jitter (40 psP-P). At 1.5 Gbps, it maintains <2.5 psRMS random jitter and ≤100 ps channel skew-meeting requirements for SATA I and PCIe Gen1 applications. The DS90CP04TLQ does not guarantee full functionality above 1.5 Gbps in production.
Does the DS90CP04TLQ support both serial and parallel configuration modes?
Yes, the DS90CP04TLQ supports dual configuration: serial mode (MODE = 0) uses SCLK/SI/LOAD with 30-bit frames and read-back capability via CSO/RSO, while parallel mode (MODE = 1) uses SEL0/SEL1 with four predefined routing patterns (Broadcast, Distribution, Redundancy, Broadside). Both modes are mutually exclusive and selected solely by the MODE pin state.
What is the purpose of the DAP (exposed pad) on the DS90CP04TLQ WQFN-32 package?
The DAP on the DS90CP04TLQ is electrically connected to GND and serves as the primary thermal dissipation path and low-inductance ground reference for both LVDS and CMOS circuitry. TI specifies connection to the PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias-failure to do so risks exceeding junction temperature limits and degrading jitter performance under sustained 300 mA supply current.
Can the DS90CP04TLQ outputs be individually disabled?
Yes, the DS90CP04TLQ provides per-output TRI-STATE control through its configuration register-each of OUT1± to OUT4± can be independently placed in high-impedance state with tOFF ≤ 5 ns. This is enabled via serial programming (bit fields D11–D0) or parallel mode (fixed patterns), allowing selective channel isolation without affecting other active paths.
How does the DS90CP04TLQ handle cascaded configuration in large arrays?
The DS90CP04TLQ supports daisy-chained arrays via CSO/CSCLK (column cascade) and RSO/RSCLK (row cascade). Each device internally decrements row/column addresses before forwarding control words-enabling single-bus programming of up to 64×64 matrices. The DS90CP04TLQ requires precise SCLK edge counting (e.g., +7 clocks per hop) to ensure correct frame alignment at destination devices.
