Hi Ken,
It is fine if PDB, OEN and OSS_SEL all ramp at the same time. OEN and OSS_SEL can be toggled in real time -- the value at start-up doesn't latch the mode. IDx and MODE_SEL are read once after PDB goes high and are latched, so you want the voltages on those pins to be stable before PDB ramps up. It looks like that would be the case for you.
In order for the deserializer to start outputting data, the internal PLL has to lock to the incoming FPD-Link III signal. If there is noise on the line, it would have to be the right voltage levels as well as periodic within the FPD3 frequency range for the PLL to lock, which seems very unlikely.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks!
