The DS90C385A is a pin to pin compatible replacement for
DS90C383, DS90C383A and DS90C385. The DS90C385A
has additional features and improvements making it an ideal
replacement for DS90C383, DS90C383A and DS90C385.
family of LVDS Transmitters.
The DS90C385A transmitter converts 28 bits of LVCMOS/
LVTTL data into four LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in parallel with the data streams over the fifth LVDS link.
Every cycle of the transmit clock 28 bits of input data are
sampled and transmitted. At a transmit clock frequency of
87.5 MHz, 24 bits of RGB data and 3 bits of LCD timing and
control data (FPLINE, FPFRAME, DRDY) are transmitted at
a rate of 612.5Mbps per LVDS data channel. Using a 87.5
MHz clock, the data throughput is 306.25Mbytes/sec. This
transmitter can be programmed for Rising edge strobe or
Falling edge strobe through a dedicated pin. A Rising edge
or Falling edge strobe transmitter will interoperate with a
Falling edge strobe FPDLink Receiver without any translation logic.
This chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size
problems associated with wide, high-speed TTL interfaces
with added Spread Spectrum Clocking support.

Applications Information
The DS90C385A is backward compatible with the
DS90C385, DS90C383A, DS90C383 in TSSOP 56-lead
package, and it is a pin-for-pin replacements.
This device DS90C385A also features reduced variation of
the TCCD parameter which is important for dual pixel applications. (See AN-1084)
This device may also be used as a replacement for the
DS90CF583 (5V, 65MHz) and DS90CF581 (5V, 40MHz)
FPD-LinkTransmitterswithcertainconsiderations/
modifications:
1. Change 5V power supply to 3.3V. Provide this 3.3V
supply to the V
transmitter.
2. The DS90C385A transmitter input and control inputs
accept 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS levels. They are not 5V
tolerant.
3. To implement a falling edge device for the DS90C385A,
the R_FB pin may be tied to ground OR left unconnected
(an internal pull-down resistor biases this pin low). Biasing this pin to Vcc implements a rising edge device.
TRANSMITTER INPUT PINS
The TxIN and control input pins are compatible with LVCMOS and LVTTL levels. These pins are not 5V tolerant.
TRANSMITTER INPUT CLOCK/DATA SEQUENCING
UnliketheDS90C385,DS90C(F)383A/363A,the
DS90C385A does not require any special requirement for
sequencing of the input clock/data and PD (PowerDown)
signal. The DS90C385A offers a more robust input sequenc-
, LVDS VCCand PLL VCCof the
CC
ing feature where the input clock/data can be inserted after
the release of the PD signal. In the case where the clock/
data is stopped and reapplied, such as changing video mode
within Graphics Controller, it is not necessary to cycle the PD
signal. However, there are in certain cases where the PD
may need to be asserted during these mode changes. In
cases where the source (Graphics Source) may be supplying an unstable clock or spurious noisy clock output to the
LVDS transmitter, the LVDS Transmitter may attempt to lock
onto this unstable clock signal but is unable to do so due the
instability or quality of the clock source. The PD signal in
these cases should then be asserted once a stable clock is
applied to the LVDS transmitter. Asserting the PWR DOWN
pin will effectively place the device in reset and disable the
PLL, enabling the LVDS Transmitter into a power saving
standby mode. However, it is still generally a good practice
to assert the PWR DOWN pin or reset the LVDS transmitter
whenever the clock/data is stopped and reapplied but it is
not mandatory for the DS90C385A.
SPREAD SPECTRUM CLOCK SUPPORT
The DS90C385A can support Spread Spectrum Clocking
signal type inputs. The DS90C385A outputs will accurately
track Spread Spectrum Clock/Data inputs with modulation
frequencies of up to 100kHz (max.)with either center spread
±
2.5% or down spread -5% deviations.
