What this deserializer does on the board
The Texas Instruments DS99R106SQ/NOPB is a single-channel deserializer that takes a 960 Mbps FPD-Link II or LVDS serial stream and converts it to a 24-bit wide LVCMOS parallel bus. The 24 LVCMOS outputs match the RGB data width of a typical 24-bit colour TFT panel, so the deserializer lands directly on the panel timing controller without extra glue logic. The 3V to 3.6V supply rail is common on modern display controllers, and the 48-WQFN (7x7 mm) exposed-pad package keeps the thermal path short — useful if the panel backlight or driver heats the local board.
960 Mbps — what it buys you in cable and resolution
At 960 Mbps serial rate, the DS99R106SQ/NOPB can sustain a 40 MHz pixel clock across a single differential pair. The single LVDS input means one twisted pair carries clock and data embedded together — no separate clock pair, which halves the cable count compared to older FPD-Link implementations. That simplifies the harness and the connector selection for a panel retrofit or a new build.
Temperature grade and where it fits
Rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient, this part is intended for indoor, climate-controlled equipment: office monitors, point-of-sale displays, medical patient monitors (non-life-support), and industrial HMIs inside a cabinet with some airflow. It is not rated for automotive under-hood, outdoor digital signage in direct sun, or cold-storage environments — those call for an industrial-temperature deserializer.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The DS99R106SQ/NOPB is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect.
