Product details
Overview
DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade FPD-Link III serializer IC that converts 24-bit RGB888 video + HS/VS/DE control signals and stereo I2S audio into a single AC-coupled differential serial stream at up to 2.975 Gbps. It integrates HDCP 1.3 cipher engine with on-chip key storage, supports 5–85 MHz PCLK, and operates from 1.8 V or 3.3 V LVCMOS I/O supply. It targets secure in-vehicle display links for navigation and rear-seat entertainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB datasheet, DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB pinout, DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB application, or DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing constraints (e.g., tDIS ≤ 2.0 ns setup), HDCP repeater capability, and validated alternatives for automotive display interface design.
Technical Context
The DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB implements a parallel-to-serial conversion architecture with embedded clock recovery, DC-balanced scrambling, and integrated HDCP 1.3 encryption. Its forward channel transmits 35-bit symbols per PCLK cycle containing RGB data, sync signals, and encrypted I2S audio - all optimized for AC-coupled STP cabling up to 10 meters.
It features bidirectional control via I2C-compatible SCL/SDA over the same FPD-Link III physical layer, supports backward compatibility with FPD-Link II deserializers (DS90UR906Q/DS90UR908Q), and includes programmable GPIOs (R0/R1/G0/G1/B0/B1/I2S_DA/WC/CLK) configurable via MODE_SEL or registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PCLK Range | 5–85 MHz - defines minimum 720p@60Hz support and maximum serialized throughput of 2.975 Gbps |
| Forward Channel Rate | Up to 2.975 Gbps - enables full 24-bit RGB + audio + control over one differential pair |
| HDCP Support | HDCP 1.3 with on-chip key storage - provides content protection without external crypto IC or firmware management |
| I/O Voltage | 1.8 V ±5% or 3.0–3.6 V - allows direct interfacing with both low-voltage graphics processors and legacy 3.3 V controllers |
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV HBM, ±8 kV ISO 10605 - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for automotive cabin environments |
| Power-down Current | IDDS2 ≤ 2 mA (VDD33) + IDDIOS2 ≤ 150 μA (VDDIO) - enables ultra-low standby power when PDB = L |
| Latency | tSD = 145 × T (T = 1/PCLK) - deterministic end-to-end delay critical for real-time display synchronization |
Pinout & Package
DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB uses a 48-pin WQFN package (7.0 mm × 7.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad (DAP) requiring ≥9 vias to ground plane. Pin functions are validated per TI SNLS336J Rev J datasheet.

FAQ
What video resolutions does the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB support?
The DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB supports up to 720p resolution (1280×720) at 60 Hz, corresponding to a pixel clock range of 5–85 MHz. It serializes 24-bit RGB888 data plus HS, VS, DE, and stereo I2S audio into a single FPD-Link III stream. Higher resolutions like 1080p require DS90UH927QSQE/NOPB, which lacks HDCP but supports up to 125 MHz PCLK.
Does the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB include HDCP functionality?
Yes, the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB integrates a full HDCP 1.3 cipher engine with on-chip non-volatile memory for key storage. It performs real-time encryption of video and I2S audio payloads and supports HDCP repeater functionality, enabling authenticated daisy-chained display topologies without external security ICs.
What is the recommended termination for the DOUT+ and DOUT- pins of the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB?
The DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB DOUT+ and DOUT- pins require AC coupling via 0.1 µF capacitors and a 100 Ω differential termination across the pair. The device includes internal 40–62 Ω single-ended termination resistors, so no external series resistors are needed - only the external 100 Ω load and coupling caps per TI SNLS336J layout guidelines.
Can the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB operate with a 1.8 V I/O supply?
Yes, the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB supports dual I/O voltage operation: VDDIO may be set to either 1.8 V ±5% or 3.0–3.6 V. This allows direct interfacing with low-voltage graphics processors while maintaining full functionality including GPIO configuration, I2C control, and HDCP interrupt signaling.
Is the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB pin-compatible with the DS90UH925Q-Q1?
Yes, the DS90UH925QSQE/NOPB is functionally and pin-compatible with the DS90UH925Q-Q1. Both use identical 48-pin WQFN packaging, pin mapping, and electrical specifications. The Q-Q1 variant adds AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification and extended automotive test coverage, while the SQE/NOPB is the commercial-grade version intended for prototyping and non-automotive applications.
