DS90UB953-Q1: CLK_OUT Resistor Values for IDx

Part Number: DS90UB953-Q1

Please see the questions below. Thanks in advance.

CLK_OUT/IDX:

For automotive application you need to use lower value resistors because >100 kOhm are not allowed at most of the OEMs. Would be 56 k and 12 k ok?

  • Joern,

    What IDX target voltage are you trying to achieve? There is also a list of recommended values in Section 7.5.1.1 Table 8 of the datasheet:

  • Hi Jonny,

    we want to use IDX=2 with I²C address 0x32 and 1.8 V I²C supply. The resistor values in the data sheet are very high (180 kOhm) and therefore we want to use lower values with the recommended ratio. With 56 kOhm and 12 kOhm we hit ratio of 0.214 very well. Do you see any issues with such smaller values? Is it only because of higher leakage current?

    Thanks and regards,

  • Hi Benjamin,

    The minimum required load impedance needed is 35k. With the values you suggested, the load impedance is only about 10k.
    At power up, the voltage on the IDX pin is compared to VDD andthe ratio sets various parameters for configuration of the DS90UB953-Q1. Once the DS90UB953-Q1 has beenconfigured, the CLK_OUT/IDX pin switches over to a clock source, intended to provide a reference clock to the
    image sensor.

    Let me come back to this post to provide some further reasoning into why the minimum 35k is needed and potential drawbacks with a lower load impedance.

  • Hi Jonny,

    okay I understand that this high impedance is needed because the pin is multiplexed with clock output. So I think that this might be the reason to keep impedance high to not influence the clock.

    I just saw that this was also written in the data sheet and I missed it. As long as we are not forced to use 0x32 as I²C address the easiest way would be to use IDX 1 because 40.2 kOhm is fine for us.

    Thanks and regards,

    Benjamin
