DS90UB960-Q1: Regarding Interfacing of cameras

Part Number: DS90UB960-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS90UB933-Q1, DS90UB953-Q1, DS90UB913A-Q1

Hello sir,

The datasheet of DS90UB960-Q1  says that we can connect up to 4 cameras @2 MP. If I want to connect 2 cameras @4 MP. then it is possible or not? What is the calculation behind this?

And how we choose serializer for this deserializer as datasheet shows that it is compatible with DS90UB953-Q1, DS90UB913A-Q1, and DS90UB933-Q1. Like I want to make a surrounding view camera for our autonomous vehicle then what are the hard requirements in choosing serializer and deserializer. What are the main factors and reasons behind this?

Regards,

Harsh Garg

  • Harsh,
    The DS90UB960 is a deserializer hub capable of connecting serialized camera data from 4 independent video streams. It can support receiving data from imagers at full HD 1080p/2MP/60-Hz frame rate when used with a DS90UB953 serializer. It is not just a matter of MP but it also depends on fps (frames per sec), resolution etc.

    The 960 is also compatible with the older generation FPD-Link III serializers such as 913A, 933 but it operates with basic functionality - it needs to be used in the RAW mode and not CSI-2 mode with these serializers. You can request a copy of the latest 960 documentation from the TI website on the 960 product page.
  • Hi Palaniappan,

    We have to connect deserializer between serializer and deserializer hub ??

    Like in above picture they connect 954 between 953 and 960. 

    If I want to connect 4 cameras with 953 serializers then I have to connect it with only deserializer hub or if have to connect first with deserializer then with deserializer hub ??

  • You can connect the 960 deserializer hub to the 4 953's and cameras directly. This picture above is not a connection diagram, but rather a high level overview of the FPD-Link ADAS product portfolio where the 954 is just shown as a CSI-2 capable deserializer.
    If you would like to learn more about 960, you can request a copy of the product documentation on the TI website.

    We also have FPD-Link training material and video modules available on the TI site at the links provided below.
  • Hi,

    I have some more questions please help me out.
    If two CMOS image sensors are connected to an ISP then we can connect ISP directly to serializer DS90UB953-Q1?.

    Regards,
    Harsh garg
  • The image sensor is connected to the serializer, and the ISP is connected to the deserializer.
    You can refer to the datasheet for application information.
  • No, Not like this way. I want to connect two CMOS Image sensor with an ISP, then ISP to serializer, then using FPD-III link serializer to deserializer.
    Is it possible to make this type of architecture??
  • Yes this can work. The ISP can place the data into separate virtual channels to tell the processor which packet belongs to which camera or image sensor.
