The DS90UB971-Q1 serializer represents the first generation in FPD-Link IV serializers and is designed to support ultra-high-speed raw data sensors including 8MP+ Imagers, satellite RADAR, LIDAR, and Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors. The chip delivers an 7.55Gbps forward channel and an ultra-low latency, 47.1875Mbps bidirectional control channel and supports power over a single coax (PoC) or STP cable. The DS90UB971-Q1 features advanced data protection and diagnostic features to support ADAS and automotive functional safety. Together with a companion deserializer, the DS90UB971-Q1 delivers precise multi-camera sensor clock and sensor synchronization.

The DS90UB971-Q1 is fully AEC-Q100 qualified with a wide temperature range of –40°C to 115°C. The serializer comes in a small 5mm × 5mm VQFN package for space-constrained sensor applications.
