Abstract

The DS90UB941AS-Q1 FPD-Link III serializer enables low latency, and highly flexible bridging from MIPI DSI to FPD-Link III in order to carry video data, audio data, control data, and other communications protocols such as I2C, and SPI over longer cable distances when paired with a DSI source.

The MIPI DSI protocol contains a wide feature set and flexibility in order fit as many applications as possible. As a result, system designers may struggle to understand how to properly configure and verify a complex DSI source in conjunction with FPD-Link. This guide will provide a common bring-up flow to help with DSI source configuration considerations and insight on how to resolve common system level problems when implementing a solution with DS90UB941AS-Q1
