Product details
Overview
DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive-qualified dual MIPI DSI-to-FPD-Link III bridge serializer supporting up to 210 MHz pixel clock for 2K (2880×1080) at 30 Hz, WUXGA, and 1080p60 with 24-bit color depth. It features dual 4-lane DSI inputs (up to 1.5 Gbps/lane), single/dual FPD-Link III outputs, symmetric/asymmetric video splitting, and functional safety documentation for ISO 26262 system design. It enables high-bandwidth video consolidation over coaxial or STP cables in infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 datasheet, DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 pinout, DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 application, or DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, confirmed alternatives, and supply-ready procurement support - all grounded in TI's production-grade SNLS640C specification.
Technical Context
The DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 implements a dual-input DSI receiver with two independent 4-lane ports (DSI0/DSI1), each supporting MIPI D-PHY HS mode up to 1.5 Gbps per lane and 750 MHz DSI clock frequency. Its serializer core maps DSI video packets-including virtual channel and ECC/CRC-protected payloads-into FPD-Link III forward channels with full-duplex I²C and up to eight I²S audio lanes embedded in the same serial stream.
It supports three operational modes: single-link (≤105 MHz pixel clock), dual-link (≤210 MHz), and splitter modes (symmetric 2:2 or asymmetric cropping). Dual-link operation activates SPI interface pins (MOSI/MISO/SPLK/SS) and requires separate REFCLK0/REFCLK1 inputs with ±100 ppm stability; loop filter pins (LFDSI, LFT) mandate 10 nF decoupling to ground.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 uses a 64-pin VQFN package (9.0 mm × 9.0 mm body size) with exposed thermal pad (DAP) centered on the bottom side for PCB-level heat dissipation. Pin assignment follows TI's RTD package layout with strict separation of analog (LFDSI, LFT), high-speed serial (DSI, FPD-Link), and digital control (I²C, GPIO, REFCLK) domains.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DSI0_D0P–DSI0_D3N, DSI0_CLKP/CLKN | DSI Port 0 differential data/clock inputs | Accepts up to 4-lane MIPI DSI HS signals; unused lanes may be grounded or left NC |
| DSI1_D0P–DSI1_D3N, DSI1_CLKP/CLKN | DSI Port 1 differential data/clock inputs | Enables dual-source video ingestion (e.g., processor + FPGA); independent lane enable/disable via registers |
| DOUT0+, DOUT0−, DOUT1+, DOUT1− | FPD-Link III TX differential outputs | Drive coaxial or STP cables; AC-coupled per TI Table 9-1; support embedded I²C and I²S |
| REFCLK0, REFCLK1 | External reference clock inputs | Required for dual-link or splitter modes; 25 kΩ internal pulldown; accept 25–210 MHz low-jitter clocks |
| I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL | Open-drain I²C interface | Configures device registers and monitors status; 1.8 V/3.3 V compatible with 2.2–4.7 kΩ pullups |
| PDB | Inverted power-down control | Active-high enable; internal 50 kΩ pulldown ensures safe power-down until supplies stabilize |
| INTB | Active-low interrupt output | Signals error conditions (e.g., DSI sync loss, CRC failure); open-drain with 4.7 kΩ pullup to VDDIO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetric & asymmetric video splitting | Enables simultaneous driving of two displays (e.g., instrument cluster + center stack) with independent resolution scaling and cropping - no external FPGA required |
| Functional Safety documentation | Provides failure modes, diagnostic coverage analysis, and safety mechanism guidance aligned with ISO 26262 ASIL B system integration |
| Embedded audio transport | Carries up to eight I²S audio channels alongside video over same FPD-Link III link - eliminates separate audio interconnects |
| EMI-reduced signaling | Uses LVDS-based FPD-Link III with data scrambling and randomization - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions limits in automotive cabins |
| Backward-compatible single-link mode | Supports WXGA/720p over one differential pair - simplifies migration from legacy designs without redesigning cabling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DSI-to-FPD-Link III bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90UB949TRGCRQ1 | Single DSI input (4-lane), dual FPD-Link III outputs; no video splitting; supports up to 210 MHz pixel clock | Lacks symmetric/asymmetric splitting and dual DSI ingestion - suitable only for single-source, dual-display systems | Select when system uses one video source and requires simpler configuration; lower pin count and BOM cost |
| DS90UB954TRGCRQ1 | Quad DSI input (2×4-lane), dual FPD-Link III outputs; adds MIPI CSI-2 receiver capability; same 210 MHz max pixel clock | Supports hybrid DSI+CSI-2 video aggregation (e.g., display + surround-view camera); larger 72-pin VQFN package | Choose when integrating camera feeds alongside display video; requires additional CSI-2 layout and clocking resources |
Compared with DS90UB949TRGCRQ1 and DS90UB954TRGCRQ1, the DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 uniquely delivers dual DSI ingestion plus hardware-accelerated video splitting in a 64-pin VQFN - making it the only option for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive head units requiring two independent video sources and split-display output without external logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DSI data rate per lane for DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1?
The DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 supports up to 1.5 Gbps per DSI lane across both DSI0 and DSI1 ports, corresponding to a maximum DSI clock frequency of 750 MHz in high-speed mode. This enables full 24-bit color transmission for 2K and 1080p60 resolutions. The device also supports backward-compatible modes down to 150 Mbps per lane for legacy WXGA/720p systems.
Does DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 require external loop filter components?
Yes, DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 requires two external 10 nF capacitors: one between LFDSI and ground for the DSI PLL loop filter, and another between LFT and ground for the FPD-Link III PLL loop filter. These are mandatory for stable clock recovery and must be placed within 3 mm of their respective pins per TI layout guidelines in SNLS640C Section 11.
Can DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 operate in single-link mode without REFCLK inputs?
Yes, DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 operates in single-link mode using only the internal DSI clock as reference - REFCLK0 and REFCLK1 are not required. These pins are only mandatory in dual-link or splitter modes (symmetric/asymmetric), where independent pixel clock generation per output link is needed.
How does DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 handle ECC and CRC protection?
DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 generates and validates ECC for DSI payload data and CRC for DSI video packet headers. When enabled via BRIDGE_CTL register (0x4Fh), it inserts ECC bits into transmitted FPD-Link III streams and checks incoming DSI packets for bit errors, reporting failures via INTB assertion and DSI_ERR_COUNT register - critical for ASIL-B functional safety compliance.
What is the thermal performance of DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 in its VQFN-64 package?
DS90UB941ASRTDRQ1 in the 9.0 mm × 9.0 mm VQFN package has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 7.9°C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 24.2°C/W. With proper PCB copper pour under the DAP thermal pad and ≥4 thermal vias, it sustains 800 mW power dissipation at 105°C ambient - validated per TI's SNLS640C Section 7.4 thermal metrics.
