Product details
Overview
DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive HDMI-to-FPD-Link III bridge serializer supporting TMDS clock frequencies up to 210 MHz, 2-lane FPD-Link III output (3.675 Gbps aggregate), and HDMI v1.4b/DP++ input compatibility for 2K (2880×1080@60Hz) video with 24-bit color depth in infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 datasheet, DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 pinout, DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 application, or DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include HDMI input jitter tolerance (0.3 UI), dual-lane FPD-Link III differential output compliance (900–1200 mVp-p), I²C master/slave + SPI pass-through control, and automotive-grade thermal performance (RθJA = 25.8°C/W).
Technical Context
The DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 implements a parallel-to-serial conversion architecture that accepts HDMI TMDS inputs (IN_CLK±, IN_D0±–IN_D2±) and embeds video, audio, and control data-including I²C, SPI, and GPIO traffic-into two high-speed FPD-Link III differential streams (DOUT0±, DOUT1±). Its integrated PLL locks to spread-spectrum HDMI clocks to suppress EMI.
It supports dual operational modes: single-lane (up to 1920×720@60Hz with DS90Ux92x-Q1 deserializers) and dual-lane (up to 2880×1080@60Hz with DS90UB940-Q1/DS90UB948-Q1), with backward compatibility confirmed across TI's FPD-Link III ecosystem. Audio extraction supports up to 8-channel I²S via dedicated slave-mode pins (I2S_WC/I2S_DA/etc.).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDMI-to-FPD-Link III bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90UB949AQRCRQ1 | Same silicon die and functionality; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (TR vs. RG) and reel size (2500 vs. 1000 pcs). | No functional or electrical difference; identical pinout, timing, and thermal behavior. | Select DS90UB949AQRCRQ1 for higher-volume automated assembly requiring larger reels. |
| DS90UB947ATRGCRQ1 | Single-lane FPD-Link III output (1.8375 Gbps), no DOUT1± pins; supports up to 1920×720@60Hz with DS90Ux92x-Q1 deserializers. | Limited to lower-resolution displays; lacks dual-lane bandwidth and associated GPIO/SPI pass-through capability. | Choose DS90UB947ATRGCRQ1 only when system resolution and feature set permit lane reduction and cost optimization. |
Compared with DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1, DS90UB949AQRCRQ1 offers identical performance in alternate packaging, while DS90UB947ATRGCRQ1 trades dual-lane bandwidth and audio extraction capability for reduced pin count and BOM cost in entry-level displays.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported video resolution and frame rate for DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1?
The DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 supports up to 2880×1080@60Hz with 24-bit color depth using dual-lane FPD-Link III output. At 210 MHz TMDS clock, it also enables QXGA (2048×1536), WUXGA (1920×1200), and 1080p60. In single-lane mode with legacy deserializers, it supports up to 1920×720@60Hz. All resolutions comply with HDMI v1.4b timing and jitter specifications.
Does DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 support audio extraction from HDMI, and how is it implemented?
Yes, DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 supports HDMI audio extraction for up to 8 channels. It recovers embedded audio packets and outputs them via a configurable I²S interface-either in slave mode (using I2S_WC/I2S_DA/etc. pins) or auxiliary mode. The device includes dedicated I²S clock/data pins with register-controlled format selection (I²S, left-justified, right-justified), enabling direct connection to external audio DACs without additional logic.
What are the power supply requirements for DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1, and how are they distributed?
DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 requires seven distinct supply rails: VDD18 (1.71–1.89 V, analog core), VDDIO (1.71–1.89 V, I/O), VDDA11/VDDHS11/VDDP11/VDDS11 (1.045–1.155 V, analog/digital/PLL/serializer domains), and VTERM (1.71–1.89 V for AC-coupled or 3.135–3.465 V for DC-coupled HDMI termination). Each rail must be independently decoupled per TI SNLS650 layout guidelines to maintain signal integrity and meet AEC-Q100 EMI targets.
How does DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 handle backward compatibility with older FPD-Link III deserializers?
DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 operates in backward-compatible mode with DS90UB926Q-Q1, DS90UB928Q-Q1, and DS90UB924-Q1 deserializers using a single FPD-Link III lane. In this mode, it supports up to 1920×720@60Hz with 24-bit color and retains full I²C bridging and GPIO functionality. Configuration is automatic upon power-up detection of legacy deserializer handshake patterns-no firmware or register changes required.
What thermal management guidance applies to DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 in automotive enclosures?
DS90UB949ATRGCRQ1 has RθJA = 25.8°C/W in its 64-pin VQFN package. To sustain operation at +105°C ambient, the PCB must use the exposed thermal pad with ≥9 thermal vias to an internal or bottom-layer ground plane. TI recommends ≥2 oz copper on inner layers and avoids thermal isolation around the pad. Power dissipation in normal operation is ~650 mW (IDD11 ≈ 400 mA @ 1.1 V + IDD18 ≈ 35 mA @ 1.8 V), requiring no heatsink in properly laid-out automotive head unit PCBs.
