DS90UB95x-Q1EVM Deserializer User's Guide
The Texas Instruments DS90UB95x-Q1EVM evaluation modules (EVM) are functional board designs for
evaluating the DS90UB95x-Q1 FPD-Link III deserializers, which convert serialized camera data to MIPI
CSI-2 for processing. The MIPI CSI-2 output has four available lanes, and can be configured for either
four-lane output or replicated two-lane output. When paired with a compatible serializer, the deserializers
receive data from imager(s) supporting cameras as well as satellite RADAR. The DS90UB954-Q1 also
supports DS90UB913A/933 serializers.
Some variants are single channel; for these variants ignore references to RX1. Some references are
made to serializer backward compatibility; refer to the product datasheet for serializer compatibility.
The DS90UB954-Q1EVM is configured for communication with a DS90UB953-Q1 on channel 0 (RX0),
and a DS90UB933-Q1 on channel 1 (RX1). The EVM has two Rosenberger FAKRA connectors and
configurable Power-over-Coax (PoC) voltage for connecting the camera modules (not included). FPD-Link
III interfaces also include a separate low latency bidirectional control channel that conveys control
information from an I2C port. General purpose I/O signals such as those required for camera
synchronization and functional safety features also make use of this bidirectional control channel to
program registers in the DS90UB954-Q1 as well as the connected serializer and any remote I2C
connected devices. There is an onboard MSP430 which functions as a USB2ANY bridge for interfacing
with a PC for evaluation. The USB2ANY interfaces with the Analog LaunchPAD GUI tool.

2.4 DS90UB95x-Q1EVM Setup
1. Use the mini USB to USB cable to connect J2 to computer USB port for register programming and
open Analog LaunchPAD. See Section 11 for details on installing and using Analog LaunchPAD.
2. Configure jumpers J8, J10, J11, J15, J16, J23, J27 to set device’s operating modes. The default
configuration can be seen in Figure 4.
3. Configure Power-over-Coax power supplies for RX0 and RX1 with J18 and J17 respectively.
4. Connect the DS90UB95x-Q1EVM to DS90UB953-Q1EVM (or variant) to RX0 and/or DS90UB933-
Q1EVM to RX1 using a coax cable.
5. Interface MIPI CSI-2 output signals (J24) to test equipment or host processor (optional, not required to
check status of FPD-Link III connection between serializer and deserializer).
6. Provide power to board. TI recommends using current limited bench supply to provide power to J1
(barrel jack) or J3.

3.3 Power-over-Coax Interface
The DS90UB95x-Q1EVM offers two Power-over-Coax interfaces (PoC) to connect cameras through a
coaxial cable with FAKRA connectors. Power is delivered on the same conductor that is used to transmit
video and control channel data between the host and the camera. By default, 5V power supply is applied
over the coax cable. Refer to for other PoC configurations.
NOTE: For port RX0, the PoC network is configured for a DS90UB953-Q1EVM (or variant), and for
RX1 the PoC network is configured for a DS90UB933-Q1. Only use a serializer EVM with the
correct PoC network. To use PoC with two DS90UB953-Q1EVM (or variant) or DS90UB933-
Q1 EVM's, one of the PoC networks must be reworked. You may also open the PoC circuit
and power the serializer EVM directly from another supply.
For Power-over-Coax (PoC) on the EVM, the circuit uses a filter network as shown in Figure 6. The PoC
network frequency response corresponds to the bandwidth compatible with DS90UB953-Q1EVM (or
variant) chipsets.

WARNING
Verify that the Power-over-Coax voltage is properly set before
plugging into RX0 or RX1. Power supply is not fused. Over-voltage
will cause damage to boards directly connected due to incorrect
input power supplies. DS90UB913A-Q1EVM is designed for a
maximum of 5V PoC. To use DS90UB913A-Q1EVM with
DS90UB954-Q1EVM, open J17 or J18 to disable PoC, and either
power the DS90UB913A-Q1EVM separately or by applying 5V to the
J17 or J18 pin on DS90UB954-Q1EVM.

3.4 MIPI CSI-2 Output Signals
There are two options provided for passing out the deserialized data on the DS90UB95x-Q1EVM . The
first is a Samtec QSH-type connector, J24, on the top of the board that can be mated with a matching
QTH type connector. The mating connector part number for the J24 connector is QTH-020-01-H-D-DP-A.
On the bottom of the board is a Samtec QTH-type connector, J26, meant for mating with a TDAx
evaluation kit. The signals to the connectors are the same, including access to I2C and other signals
including PDB and GPIO. Only one connector should be used at a time. If the J6 connector on the bottom
is to be used, populate the zero ohm resistors on the bottom of the board which extend the traces to the
J26 connector.
There are third party solutions like the HDR-128291-XX breakout board from Samtec which can be used.
The HDR- 128291-XX is a breakout board with a mating connector to J24 or J26, providing access to
each pin through standard SMA male connectors. More info on this breakout board can be obtained from
Samtec website. Another third party option is the ZX100 by Zebax Technologies. More information on this
board can be obtained from Zebax website.

3.6 I2C Interface
In addition to the on-board USB2ANY controller accessible via the mini-USB port, a standalone external
I2C host can connect via J25 for programming purposes. Examples of external I2C host controllers are
Texas Instruments USB2ANY and Total Phase Aardvark I2C/SPI host adapter (Total Phase Part#:
TP240141).
When the I2C interface is accessed through connector J25, I2C signal levels can be configured through
J16 to be at 1.8V or 3.3V. Optional access to I2C signals are also available via CSI-2 connectors J24 (top)
and J26 (bottom).

4 Enable and Reset
The DS90UB95x-Q1 is enabled and reset by controlling the PDB input level. PDB has an internal pull
down, and should remain low until all supplies are stable. There are three device enable and reset/power-
down options for the EVM.
• RC timing option: The RC delay created with C123 and R131 connected to the PDB pin is the default
option for delaying PDB on the EVM. This is used for simplicity of debugging and using the device. TI
recommends using a GPIO signal from a host process or to drive PDB after all rails have settled in
customer designs.
• External control option: A momentary push-button switch, SW1, is available for manually driving the
PDB signal low while the button is held.
• Software control option: The PDB pin is also made available in the J24 and J26 CSI-2 output
connectors, allowing a host processor to control the PDB pin.
5 Use with DS90UB936-Q1
The DS90UB954-Q1EVM may also be used to evaluate the DS90UB936-Q1. The only modification
required is to swap the DS90UB954-Q1 with the DS90UB936-Q1.

6 Typical Connection and Test Equipment
The following is a list of typical test equipment that may be used to monitor the MIPI CSI-2 signals from
the DS90UB95x-Q1:
1. Logic Analyzer
2. Any SCOPE with a bandwidth of at least 4 GHz for observing differential signals.
3. UNH-IOL MIPI D-PHY Reference Termination Board (RTB)
4. UNH-IOL MIPI D-PHY/CSI/DSI Probing Board
5. UNH-IOL CSIGUI Tool
7 Termination Device
A termination device is required to properly monitor and measure the transmission of the MIPI DPHY
signals. The termination device should support the change of signals as it switches between LP and HS
modes. This can be provided by either a CSI-2 receiver or a dedicated dynamic termination board. The
recommended termination board is the UNH-IOL MIPI D-PHY Reference Termination Board (RTB).
