The DS90C385 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 a fifth LVDS link.
Every cycle of the transmit clock 28 bits of input data are
sampled and transmitted. At a transmit clock frequency of 85
MHz, 24 bits of RGB data and 3 bits of LCD timing and
control data (FPLINE, FPFRAME, DRDY) are transmitted at
a rate of 595 Mbps per LVDS data channel. Using a 85 MHz
clock, the data throughput is 297.5 Mbytes/sec. Also available is the DS90C365 that converts 21 bits of LVCMOS/
LVTTL data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams. Both transmitters 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 Receiver
(DS90CF386/DS90CF366) without any translation logic.
The DS90C385 is also offered in a 64 ball, 0.8mm fine pitch
ball grid array (FBGA) package which provides a 44 %
reduction in PCB footprint compared to the TSSOP package.
This chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size
problems associated with wide, high-speed TTL interfaces.

Note 5: The Minimum and Maximum Limits are based on statistical analysis of the device performance over process, voltage, and temperature ranges. This
parameter is functionality tested only on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).
Note 6: The limits are based on bench characterization of the device’s jitter response over the power supply voltage range. Output clock jitter is measured with a
cycle-to-cycle jitter of +/−3ns applied to the input clock signal while data inputs are switching (See Figures 15 and 16). A jitter event of 3ns, represents worse case
jump in the clock edge from most graphics controller VGA chips currently available. This parameter is used when calculating system margin as described in AN-1059.
Note 7: The worst case test pattern produces a maximum toggling of digital circuits, LVDS I/O and CMOS/TTL I/O.
Note 8: The 16 grayscale test pattern tests device power consumption for a “typical” LCD display pattern. The test pattern approximates signal switching needed
to produce groups of 16 vertical stripes across the display.

Applications Information
The DS90C385/DS90C365 are backward compatible with
the DS90C383/DS90C363, DS90C383A/DS90C363A and
the TSSOP versions are a pin-for-pin replacements. The
device (DS90C385/DS90C365) utilizes a different PLL architecture employing an internal 7X clock for enhanced pulse
position control.
This device (DS90C385/DS90C365) also features reduced
variation of the TCCD parameter which is important for dual
pixel applications. (See AN-1084) TCCD variation has been
measured to be less than 500ps at 85MHz under normal
operating conditions.
This device may also be used as a replacement for the
DS90CF583/563 (5V, 65MHz) and DS90CF581/561 (5V,
40MHz) FPD-Link Transmitters with certain considerations/
modifications:
1. Change 5V power supply to 3.3V. Provide this supply to
, LVDS VCCand PLL VCCof the transmitter.
the V
CC
2. The DS90C385/DS90C365 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 DS90C385/
DS90C365, 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 CLOCK JITTER CYCLE-TO-CYCLE
Figures 15 and 16 illustrate the timing of the input clock
relative to the input data. The input clock (TxCLKin) is intentionally shifted to the left −3ns and +3ns to the right when
data (Txin0-27) is high. This 3ns of cycle-to-cycle clock jitter
is repeated at a period of 2µs, which is the period of the input
data (1µs high, 1µs low). At different operating frequencies
the N Cycle is changed to maintain the desired 3ns cycleto-cycle jitter at 2µs period.
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
The transmitter input clock must always be present when the
device is enabled (PWR DOWN = HIGH). If the clock is
stopped, the PWR DOWN pin must be used to disable the
PLL. The PWR DOWN pin must be held low until after the
input clock signal has been reapplied. This will ensure a
proper device reset and PLL lock to occur.
POWER SEQUENCING AND POWERDOWN MODE
Outputs of the transmitter remain in TRI-STATE until the
power supply reaches 2V. Clock and data outputs will begin
to toggle 10 ms after V
down pin is above 1.5V. Either device may be placed into a
powerdown mode at any time by asserting the Powerdown
pin (active low). Total power dissipation for each device will
decrease to 5 µW (typical).
The transmitter input clock may be applied prior to powering
up and enabling the transmitter. The transmitter input clock
may also be applied after power up; however, the use of the
PWR DOWN pin is required as described in the Transmitter
Input Clock section. Do not power up and enable (PWR
DOWN = HIGH) the transmitter without a valid clock signal
applied to the TxCLK IN pin.
The FPD Link chipset is designed to protect itself from
accidental loss of power to either the transmitter or receiver.
If power to the transmit board is lost, the receiver clocks
(input and output) stop. The data outputs (RxOUT) retain the
states they were in when the clocks stopped. When the
receiver board loses power, the receiver inputs are controlled by a failsafe bias circuitry. The LVDS inputs are
High-Z during initial power on and power off conditions.
Current is limited (5 mA per input) by the fixed current mode
drivers, thus avoiding the potential for latchup when powering the device.
RECEIVER FAILSAFE FEATURE
The FPD Link receivers have input failsafe bias circuitry to
guarantee a stable receiver output for floating or terminated
receiver inputs. Under these conditions receiver inputs will
be pulled to a HIGH state. This is the case if not all data
channels are required in the application. Leave the extra

channel’s inputs open. This minimizes power dissipation and
locks the unused channels outputs into a stable known
(HIGH) state.

If a clock signal is present, data outputs will all be HIGH; if
the clock input is also floating/terminated, data outputs will
remain in the last valid state. A floating/terminated clock
input will result in a LOW clock output.
