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.
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.
