Product details
Overview
DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive-qualified quad FPD-Link III deserializer hub that aggregates up to four 4.16-Gbps video streams into dual MIPI CSI-2 outputs, supports 1080p60 from 2-MP sensors, and enables precise multi-camera synchronization in vehicle ADAS systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 datasheet, DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 pinout, DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 application, or DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual CSI-2 port bandwidth scalability (up to 1.6 Gbps/lane), adaptive equalization for coax/STP cables, functional safety documentation support per ISO 26262, and compatibility with DS90UB953-Q1/DS90UB935-Q1 serializers.
Technical Context
The DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 integrates four independent FPD-Link III deserializers with adaptive receive equalization for 50-Ω coaxial or 100-Ω STP cables, each supporting 4.16-Gbps forward-channel data and low-latency bidirectional control (I²C/GPIO). Its dual MIPI CSI-2 v1.3 ports operate at scalable lane rates (400–1600 Mbps/lane) with configurable 1–4-lane per port operation and optional port replication mode.
It implements internal frame sync generation, line fault detection, and two independent I²C interfaces (Fast-Mode Plus, 1 Mbps), all managed via programmable registers. Power domains are segmented across VDD11 (1.1 V), VDD18 (1.8 V), and VDDIO (1.8 V or 3.3 V), with thermal resistance RθJA = 23.8°C/W in the 64-pin VQFN package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPD-Link III deserializer hub applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90UB964WRTDRQ1 | Same quad-deserializer architecture but adds JESD204B output option; higher power (1.1 W typ); no CSI-2 port replication mode. | Targeted at radar/LiDAR fusion where JESD204B interface to FPGA/ASIC is required instead of CSI-2 to SoC. | Select DS90UB964WRTDRQ1 only when JESD204B output or higher-speed ADC interfacing is needed; not a drop-in replacement for CSI-2–centric designs. |
| MAX96722GTJ/V+T | Quad deserializer with 4.16-Gbps inputs and dual CSI-2 outputs, but supports only 1.2 Gbps/lane max; lacks internal frame sync generator and PoC support. | Suitable for cost-sensitive ADAS tiers where 1080p30 suffices and external sync logic is acceptable. | Choose MAX96722GTJ/V+T for lower-tier RVC/SVS where 1.2 Gbps/lane bandwidth and absence of integrated sync are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with DS90UB960WRTDRQ1, DS90UB964WRTDRQ1 trades CSI-2 flexibility for JESD204B capability and higher power, while MAX96722GTJ/V+T offers lower cost and footprint but sacrifices lane-rate scalability, PoC, and deterministic multi-sensor synchronization-making DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 optimal for high-fidelity, safety-critical automotive vision hubs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported MIPI CSI-2 data rate per lane for DS90UB960WRTDRQ1?
The DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 supports CSI-2 data rates of 400 Mbps, 800 Mbps, 1.2 Gbps, 1.5 Gbps, and 1.6 Gbps per lane-verified in the datasheet's Section 6.3 and CSI-2 Timing Specifications. At 1.6 Gbps/lane with four active lanes per port, each CSI-2 output delivers up to 6.4 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. This enables full HD 1080p60 streaming from 2-MP sensors without compression. The DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 achieves this using MIPI D-PHY v1.2 compliant circuitry and register-configurable lane mapping.
Does DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 support Power-over-Coax (PoC)?
Yes, DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 explicitly supports Power-over-Coax (PoC) operation with single-ended 50-Ω coaxial cabling, as confirmed in the Features section and Typical Application Schematic of the official datasheet (SNLS589D). It accepts DC power injected onto the same coax cable carrying FPD-Link III high-speed data, eliminating separate power wiring. The device includes line fault detection to monitor PoC integrity, and its adaptive equalization maintains signal integrity despite PoC-induced noise. DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 requires proper external PoC filtering per TI application note SLVA689.
How many FPD-Link III serializer devices can DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 interface with simultaneously?
The DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 interfaces with up to four FPD-Link III serializer devices simultaneously-each connected to one of its four independent RX ports (RIN0 through RIN3). This is stated in the product description ("aggregates data from up to 4 sensors") and validated by the pinout (four differential RX pairs) and functional block diagram. Each port operates at 4.16 Gbps and supports bidirectional control (I²C/GPIO) over the same cable. DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 is compatible with TI serializers including DS90UB953-Q1, DS90UB935-Q1, and DS90UB933-Q1.
Is DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 pin-compatible with any other TI deserializer hubs?
No, DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 is not pin-compatible with other TI deserializer hubs such as DS90UB964WRTDRQ1 or DS90UB954TRGCRQ1-their pinouts differ significantly in power domain allocation, CSI-2 lane assignment, and control signal placement. The DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 uses a unique 64-pin VQFN layout optimized for dual CSI-2 output routing and four FPD-Link III inputs. Migration requires PCB redesign. However, register maps and software drivers show substantial overlap with DS90UB964WRTDRQ1 for firmware reuse in non-pin-constrained designs.
What AEC-Q100 temperature grade does DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 meet?
The DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, with an ambient operating temperature range of –40°C to +105°C, as specified in Section 1 (Features) and Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the official datasheet. This grade targets passenger compartment and front-end module locations in automotive platforms. Thermal performance is validated with RθJA = 23.8°C/W in the 64-pin VQFN package, and the device includes thermal shutdown protection. DS90UB960WRTDRQ1 is not rated for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) or Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C) applications.
