What this deserializer does on an automotive serial link
The Texas Instruments DS90UB948TNKDTQ1 is an AEC-Q100 qualified deserializer that converts a dual FPD-Link III serial stream back into eight LVDS data lanes plus a clock. It sits at the ECU end of a coax or STP cable, recovering the parallel video and control signals from a remote camera or display module. The 3.36 Gbps aggregate data rate supports up to 1080p60 or two 720p streams simultaneously, which is the throughput tier for surround-view and driver-monitoring camera hubs.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
TI lists this part as Active, so there is no last-time-buy clock ticking. The ROHS3 compliance satisfies current European and Asian substance restrictions. For BOM-line planning, the DS90UB948TNKDTQ1 is a current-production part with no announced obsolescence.
