Product details
Overview
DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a 28-bit LVDS receiver IC for Channel Link serial interface systems. It converts four LVDS data streams and one LVDS clock into 28-bit LVCMOS/LVTTL parallel data with 50% duty cycle output clock, supporting up to 85 MHz input clock frequency and 2.38 Gbps aggregate throughput. It operates at +3.3 V supply and is used in high-speed digital video interconnects between FPGAs and display timing controllers.
For engineers reviewing the DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB datasheet, DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB pinout, DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB application, or DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include LVDS receiver skew margin (290 ps at 85 MHz), 100 mV differential input threshold, ±1 V common-mode input range, and TSSOP-56 package compatibility with legacy Channel Link designs.
Technical Context
The DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB implements a PLL-based clock recovery architecture that locks to the incoming LVDS clock (RxCLK IN±) and regenerates a clean TTL-level strobe (RxCLK OUT) aligned to recovered data. Its internal data sampling window (RSPOS) is defined across seven bit positions with precise timing margins (e.g., RSPos0 = 0.49–1.19 ns at 85 MHz).
It supports fail-safe biasing for floating or terminated LVDS inputs, ensuring stable HIGH outputs when no valid signal is present. The receiver accepts standard TIA/EIA-644-compliant LVDS inputs with 100 Ω differential termination and provides 28 CMOS/TTL outputs with 1.8–3.5 ns transition times and 3.5 ns setup/hold relative to RxCLK OUT.

| Data Width | 28-bit parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL output - Matches standard RGB+sync video bus widths for display interfaces. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 85 MHz - Supports pixel rates up to ~297.5 MB/s, sufficient for WXGA (1280×800) @ 60 Hz with embedded sync. |
| Differential Input Threshold | ±100 mV - Provides robust noise immunity against common-mode disturbances in cable transmission. |
| Skew Margin | 290 ps - Specifies maximum allowable inter-pair cable skew at 85 MHz to maintain valid data sampling window. |
| Power Consumption | 96–135 mA at 85 MHz - Enables thermal management in dense PCB layouts with multiple Channel Link receivers. |
| Common-Mode Range | 0–2.4 V - Accommodates ground potential differences up to ±1.0 V between transmitter and receiver boards. |
Pinout & Package
DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB is housed in a low-profile 56-lead TSSOP package (NS package code MTD56), compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes and legacy Channel Link layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RxIN+ / RxIN− | LVDS differential data inputs (4 pairs) | Accept serialized 28-bit data over five LVDS lanes (four data + one clock); require 100 Ω differential termination at receiver end. |
| RxCLK IN+ / RxCLK IN− | LVDS differential clock input | Carries recovered clock from DS90CR287 transmitter; drives internal PLL for data sampling alignment. |
| RxOUT[0:27] | LVCMOS/LVTTL parallel data outputs | Deliver 28-bit parallel data synchronized to rising edge of RxCLK OUT; drive standard 3.3 V logic loads. |
| RxCLK OUT | TTL-level clock output | Regenerated 85 MHz strobe with 50% duty cycle; used as data valid signal for downstream logic. |
| PWR DOWN | Active-low power-down control | Asserting low forces all RxOUT pins to logic LOW and reduces supply current to ≤400 µA. |
| VCC (4 pins) | +3.3 V supply for TTL output drivers | Must be decoupled with 0.001 µF / 0.01 µF / 0.1 µF capacitors per NS AN recommendations. |
| LVDS VCC / LVDS GND | LVDS input bias supply | Separate power domain for LVDS receiver front-end; improves noise isolation from digital outputs. |
| PLL VCC / PLL GND | PLL core supply | Dedicated supply for clock recovery circuitry; requires highest priority decoupling for jitter minimization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Failsafe input biasing | Guarantees HIGH output state on RxOUT when LVDS inputs are floating or unterminated - prevents undefined logic states in open-cable conditions. |
| 290 ps skew margin at 85 MHz | Enables use of cost-effective flat ribbon or twisted-pair cables up to ~2 m length while maintaining timing integrity across all 28 bits. |
| 50% duty cycle RxCLK OUT | Provides symmetrical timing window for downstream latch capture, reducing setup/hold violations in synchronous logic interfaces. |
| ±1 V common-mode tolerance | Allows >2 V ground potential difference between transmitter and receiver boards - critical for modular display subsystems with separate power domains. |
| No external PLL components | Integrates fully self-contained PLL with <10 ms lock time - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for loop filter capacitors or resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS deserializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90CR288AMTD | Same die, identical electrical specs, but packaged in standard TSSOP (no lead-free/nickel-palladium-gold finish). | No RoHS compliance; unsuitable for lead-free assembly lines requiring Pb-free solder reflow profiles. | Select DS90CR288AMTD only if legacy assembly process uses SnPb solder and leaded finish is acceptable. |
| SN65LVDS32 | Single-channel LVDS receiver (4-bit), no integrated PLL, no clock recovery - requires external clock source. | Limited to point-to-point links with separate clock distribution; cannot replace DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB in Channel Link systems without redesign. | Use SN65LVDS32 only for simple LVDS line receivers where clock is distributed separately and data width is ≤4 bits. |
Compared with DS90CR288AMTD, DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB offers RoHS-compliant lead-free termination and Pb-free solder compatibility, while SN65LVDS32 lacks clock recovery and channel aggregation - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in 28-bit Channel Link architectures.

FAQ
What is the function of the PWR DOWN pin on DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB?
The PWR DOWN pin on DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB is an active-low control input that places the receiver into low-power mode when asserted. In this state, all 28 RxOUT pins are driven LOW, and supply current drops to ≤400 µA. This feature enables dynamic power gating during idle periods in display subsystems without disrupting system-level reset sequencing. DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB resumes normal operation within 1 µs after PWR DOWN is deasserted, provided RxCLK IN± is stable.
Does DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB require external termination resistors?
Yes, DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB requires external 100 Ω differential termination resistors across each LVDS input pair (RxIN+ to RxIN−, and RxCLK IN+ to RxCLK IN−) at the receiver board. These resistors must be placed as close as possible to the DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB input pins to minimize stub length and ensure proper impedance matching to the cable's differential characteristic impedance (typically 90–120 Ω). No pull-up or pull-down resistors are needed - the DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB input stage is internally biased.
Can DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB operate with a 5 V supply?
No, DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB is strictly a +3.3 V device and is not 5 V tolerant. Its absolute maximum supply voltage is +4 V, and recommended operating range is 3.0–3.6 V. Applying 5 V to VCC, LVDS VCC, or PLL VCC will exceed absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. For 5 V systems, the legacy DS90CR284 (5 V Channel Link receiver) must be used instead - DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB is not backward-compatible with 5 V logic levels on any pin.
What is the significance of the 290 ps skew margin specification for DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB?
The 290 ps skew margin for DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB defines the maximum allowable timing misalignment between the earliest and latest arriving LVDS data bits across all four data lanes at 85 MHz operation. This margin accounts for cable skew, inter-symbol interference, and source clock jitter, ensuring reliable data sampling even with non-ideal cabling. It directly enables use of cost-effective flat ribbon or twisted-pair cables up to ~1.8 m in length without requiring precision-matched-length conductors - a key enabler for modular display subsystem design.
How does DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB handle floating or unterminated LVDS inputs?
DS90CR288ASLC/NOPB incorporates internal failsafe bias circuitry that pulls LVDS inputs to a defined HIGH state when floating or unterminated. As a result, all 28 RxOUT pins default to logic HIGH, and RxCLK OUT remains HIGH if the clock input is also floating. This behavior prevents metastability or undefined logic states during cable disconnect, power sequencing, or hot-swap events - a critical reliability feature in field-deployed display systems. The failsafe threshold is guaranteed across temperature and voltage ranges per National Semiconductor's original characterization.
