Product details
Overview
DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 4×4 non-blocking LVDS crosspoint switch enabling any of four differential inputs (IN1±–IN4±) to be routed to any of four differential outputs (OUT1±–OUT4±) at up to 1.5 Gbps, with <2.5 psRMS jitter and <50 ps channel-to-channel skew. It operates from a single +2.5 V supply and supports TRI-STATE outputs for bus sharing in high-speed serial interconnects such as camera links and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB datasheet, DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB pinout, DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB application, or DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, validated serial control timing, confirmed WQFN-32 package mapping, and real-world switching use cases in LVDS-based video and data routing systems.
Technical Context
The DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB implements a fully differential, non-blocking 4×4 matrix using four independent 4:1 LVDS multiplexers - each output connects to one of the four common inputs. Its digital control interface supports both serial programming (30-bit frame with row/column addressing and per-output routing selection) and parallel configuration via SEL0/SEL1 pins.
Two distinct control modes are hardware-selectable: MODE = low enables SCLK-driven serial register loading with cascading support (RSO/RSCLK, CSO/CSCLK); MODE = high activates pin-strapped broadcast modes (Distribution, Redundancy, Broadside). All LVDS paths maintain DC-coupled, low-skew signal integrity with 100–475 mV differential output swing and 0.05–3.25 V input common-mode range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB uses a 32-pin WQFN package (package code NJE0032A) with 0.5 mm pitch, 6 mm × 6 mm body, and exposed thermal pad (DAP) tied to GND. Pin 1 is top-left corner (marked), and DAP must be connected to ground plane via ≥4 vias for optimal 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 MUXes; accept LVDS/LVPECL/2.5V-CML signals |
| OUT1+ / OUT1− to OUT4+ / OUT4− | Differential LVDS Outputs | Four TRI-STATEable LVDS outputs; each independently configurable to connect to any input pair |
| SCLK, SI/SEL1, SEL0, LOAD, MODE | LVCMOS Control Inputs | Serial clock, data, address, load strobe, and mode select - operate at 0–100 MHz with 1.5 ns setup/hold |
| CSO, RSO, CSCLK, RSCLK | LVCMOS Cascading Outputs | Replicated serial interface outputs for daisy-chaining arrays; enable single-bus programming of multi-device matrices |
| VDD (Pins 1, 8, 17, 24) | Power Supply | +2.5 V supply requiring ≥4 × 0.01 µF low-ESR bypass capacitors near each VDD pin |
| GND (Pins 4, 20, 21, 24) | Ground Reference | Common return for LVDS analog core and CMOS digital control; DAP is primary GND connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DC–1.5 Gbps operation | Validated over full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C); supports legacy and next-gen serial protocols without retiming |
| TRI-STATE LVDS outputs | Enables time-multiplexed sharing of differential buses; tOFF ≤ 5 ns ensures fast bus release |
| Double-register loading | Separate load register and configuration register prevent partial updates; new routing takes effect only after LOAD pulse |
| Read-back capability | Serial interface supports configuration verification via 30-bit read frame - critical for fault-tolerant systems |
| Row/column cascading | CSO/CSCLK and RSO/RSCLK allow scalable NxN matrix expansion with single SCLK/SI bus and synchronized LOAD |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS crosspoint switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9156ETJ+ | 3×3 LVDS crosspoint; 1.0 Gbps max rate; no serial interface; only pin-strapped configuration | Limited to smaller channel counts and static routing; lacks cascading or read-back capability | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-configuration 3×3 applications where serial control is unnecessary. |
| SN65LVDS387DGGR | 4×4 LVDS repeater/crosspoint with integrated equalization; 2.0 Gbps; requires external configuration EEPROM | Supports longer trace lengths via equalization but adds BOM complexity and boot-time dependency | Choose when driving >30 cm FR4 traces at >1.25 Gbps; avoid if board space or startup timing is constrained. |
Compared with MAX9156ETJ+ and SN65LVDS387DGGR, DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB uniquely balances 4×4 flexibility, 1.5 Gbps performance, embedded serial control with read-back, and WQFN-32 compactness - making it optimal for reconfigurable, medium-scale LVDS interconnects where reliability and debuggability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB?
The DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB is characterized and specified for reliable operation up to 1.5 Gbps per channel across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), with jitter and skew performance validated at this rate using K28.5 and PRBS23 patterns. It supports lower rates including 200 Mb/s and 1.25 Gb/s with tighter timing margins.
Does DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB support read-back of its current switch configuration?
Yes, DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB supports full read-back via its serial interface: sending a 30-bit "Read" frame (start code 011110b) causes the device to shift out its current configuration register contents on RSO and CSO. This enables runtime verification and fault diagnostics without requiring external memory or host-side state tracking.
How does the MODE pin affect DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB operation?
When MODE = low, DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB enables serial control mode: SCLK drives internal registers, and CSO/RSO/CSCLK/RSCLK become active for cascading. When MODE = high, serial control is disabled and pin-strapped configuration (via SEL0/SEL1) selects one of four fixed routing modes: Distribution, Redundancy, or Broadside - simplifying integration in static systems.
What is the purpose of the DAP (exposed thermal pad) on DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB?
The DAP on DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB is the primary ground connection for both thermal and electrical performance. It must be soldered to the PCB ground plane using at least four thermal vias. Proper DAP grounding reduces θJA to 26.4°C/W, stabilizes LVDS common-mode voltage, and minimizes noise coupling into high-speed differential paths.
Can DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB interface directly with LVPECL or CML drivers?
Yes, DS90CP04TLQX/NOPB accepts input common-mode voltages from 0.05 V to 3.25 V and differential swings down to 100 mV, making it compatible with LVPECL (with appropriate termination) and 2.5 V CML sources. No level-shifting circuitry is required - the inputs are internally biased and fully differential.
