Product details
Overview
DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive dual MIPI DSI-to-FPD-Link III bridge serializer supporting up to 210 MHz pixel clock (2K/3K@30Hz, 1080p60), dual 4-lane DSI input (1.5 Gbps/lane), and dual FPD-Link III outputs for video splitting in infotainment head units and digital instrument clusters.
For engineers reviewing the DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 datasheet, DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 pinout, DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 application, or DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include symmetric/asymmetric video splitting capability, functional safety documentation support per ISO 26262, dual-link timing synchronization, and coaxial/STP cable interface compatibility with TI's DS90UB940N-Q1/DS90UB948-Q1 deserializers.
Technical Context
The DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 implements a dual-input DSI receiver with ECC/CRC protection and virtual channel support, feeding two independent FPD-Link III serializers capable of synchronized or independent operation. Its architecture enables real-time video splitting-either symmetric (identical content to two displays) or asymmetric (different resolutions/regions)-without external FPGA processing.
It integrates dual loop filters (LFDSI, LFT), dual reference clock inputs (REFCLK0/REFCLK1), and configurable I²C/SPI control interfaces. Power management includes dedicated 1.1 V (VDD11) and 1.8 V (VDD18/VDDIO) domains, with thermal resistance RθJA = 24.2°C/W in its 9 mm × 9 mm VQFN package.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Central infotainment SoC drives both front-panel touchscreen and rear-seat entertainment display simultaneously using a single DSI interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 receives DSI video, splits it asymmetrically (e.g., 1280×720 for rear screen, 1920×1080 for front), and transmits via dual FPD-Link III links. Use Value: Eliminates need for dual DSI ports on SoC and reduces PCB layer count by consolidating video routing into one serializer with hardware-based cropping. |
Use Scenario: Vehicle dashboard integrates driver-focused digital cluster and passenger-facing infotainment display with different resolution and refresh rate requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 operates in symmetric splitter mode to replicate identical UI frames to both displays while maintaining precise inter-link timing alignment. Use Value: Ensures frame-synchronized rendering across physically separated displays, avoiding visual tearing or latency mismatch in safety-critical driver information. |
| Central Information Display Expansion | Multi-Source Video Aggregation |
|
Use Scenario: Next-generation central display supports dual video inputs (e.g., navigation GPU + backup camera) and routes them to separate zones of a single large LCD panel. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 accepts DSI streams from two independent processors and performs region-specific pixel mapping before serializing to FPD-Link III. Use Value: Enables true multi-source, multi-zone display architecture without external video switch or FPGA, lowering BOM and latency. |
Use Scenario: Automotive HMI module aggregates video from ADAS vision processor and media SoC, then distributes to multiple displays with independent brightness/color tuning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 acts as DSI consolidation hub-ingesting two DSI inputs, applying per-port gamma/LUT correction, and serializing to dual FPD-Link III outputs. Use Value: Provides centralized video preprocessing and distribution, simplifying display subsystem design and enabling consistent color calibration across displays. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90UB949ASRTDTQ1 | Single DSI input (4-lane), dual FPD-Link III outputs - lacks second DSI port and asymmetric splitting logic. | Suitable only for single-source video splitting; cannot accept dual independent DSI streams. | Select DS90UB949ASRTDTQ1 when system uses one video source but requires dual-link output flexibility and lower pin count. |
| DS90UB953TRGCRQ1 | CSI-2 input (not DSI), dual FPD-Link III outputs - supports up to 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 at 1.5 Gbps/lane, no DSI protocol handling. | Designed for camera sensor interfacing, not display processor connectivity; incompatible with DSI-based GPUs. | Choose DS90UB953TRGCRQ1 only for camera-to-display pipelines where source is MIPI CSI-2, not DSI. |
Compared with DS90UB949ASRTDTQ1 and DS90UB953TRGCRQ1, the DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 uniquely supports dual DSI inputs with hardware-assisted asymmetric splitting-critical for multi-processor infotainment systems-while maintaining full backward compatibility with TI's FPD-Link III deserializer ecosystem.

FAQ
What video resolutions does the DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 support?
The DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 supports up to 210 MHz pixel clock, enabling 2K (2880×1080@60Hz), 3K (2880×1620@30Hz), WUXGA (1920×1200), QXGA (2048×1536), and 1080p60 (1920×1080@60Hz) with 24-bit color depth. Backward-compatible mode supports WXGA and 720p over single-link FPD-Link III. All resolutions are validated per MIPI D-PHY v1.2 and FPD-Link III specifications.
Does DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 require external clock sources?
Yes - DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 requires external reference clocks on REFCLK0 and/or REFCLK1 pins when operating in Independent 2:2 or Asymmetric Splitter modes. Each pin accepts 25–210 MHz low-jitter clocks and features an internal 25 kΩ pulldown. In standard dual-link mode, the device can derive timing from the DSI clock, eliminating need for external references.
How does DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 handle video splitting?
The DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 performs hardware-based symmetric or asymmetric video splitting internally-no external processor or FPGA is needed. Symmetric mode replicates identical frames to both outputs; asymmetric mode allows independent cropping, scaling, and VC-ID assignment per output, controlled via register 0x3E and 0x56 per TI SNLS640C datasheet.
Which deserializers are compatible with DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1?
DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 is designed to interoperate with TI's FPD-Link III deserializers including DS90UB940N-Q1 (CSI-2 output), DS90UB948-Q1 (DSI output), DS90UB924-Q1 (RGB output), DS90UB926Q-Q1 (LVDS output), and DS90UB928Q-Q1 (OpenLDI output). All support coaxial or STP cabling and full-duplex I²C/audio backchannel.
What power supply domains does DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 require?
DS90UB941ASRTDTQ1 requires three distinct supply domains: VDD11 (1.1 V ±5%, 7 dedicated pins), VDD18 (1.8 V ±5%, 2 pins), and VDDIO (1.8 V or 3.3 V ± tolerance, 2 pins). Each domain has specific decoupling requirements-0.01–0.1 μF ceramic capacitors per pin plus bulk 1–10 μF capacitors-to ensure signal integrity and meet AEC-Q100 transient noise limits.
