What this FPD-Link LVDS driver does
The DS90C387VJDX/NOPB is an 8-driver FPD-Link LVDS serializer from Texas Instruments, designed to transmit parallel RGB video data over a low-voltage differential pair cable at an aggregate data rate of 4.76 Gbps. The commercial temperature range of -10°C to 70°C suits it for indoor display applications — monitors, projectors, and digital signage — where ambient temperature stays controlled.
Data rate and link budget
At 4.76 Gbps aggregate, each of the eight LVDS pairs carries roughly 595 Mbps. That throughput supports 24-bit color at resolutions up to WUXGA (1920×1200) at 60 Hz with the blanking overhead included. The FPD-Link protocol embeds the clock in the data stream, so no separate clock pair is needed — that saves one twisted pair in the cable assembly and reduces EMI.
The BOM position is stable for new and sustaining production. It is ROHS3 compliant, which meets the current EU and China RoHS requirements without exemption. No date-code sorting or special handling is needed for compliance.
The 100-TQFP package has a 14×14 mm body. The 3V to 3.6V range allows a single 3.3V rail without an extra regulator.
