DS90UB914A-Q1: DS90UB914A output frame-rate (V_Sync) abnormaly (working with DS90UB913)

Part Number: DS90UB914A-Q1

Hello, 

We are using the DS90UB914A with DS90UB913A which initiating the CMOS sensor by sending I2C commands from 914A to 913A and the CMOS sensor. Now we have encountered some problem as described as follows:

- Sensor init code (I2C command) couldn't be sent from 914A to 913A thru the LVDS cable. As a result that the CMOS sensor couldn't be initiated.

- We tried other method to initiate the CMOS directly from it's I2C port (no going thru from the UB914A--UB913A path), the CMOS was initiated successfully, also the image data (RAW12) send from CMOS sensor to 913 and 914 (thru LVDS cable). The framerate (V_sync) from sensor is ok and stable, but problem is that the framerate (V_sync) from the UB914A output pin we captured was unstable.

Is there any specific setting for the UB914A & UB913A?

We have the init codes for 914A and 913A as follows:

UB914A

w 03 f9 // VDDIO as 3.3v
w 07 b6 // ser ID as 5B
others are default
UB913A
w 01 30 // VDDIO as 3.3v
w 0D 99 // enable power to sensor
w 0e 31 // 
others are default

Thanks

Tommy

 

  • Here are the CLK, H_Sync, V_sync characteristic FYI

  • Tomy,

    it sounds the back channel has bit error, pls check reg. 0x0a, 0x0b in UB933 side for some times, if it has CRC error, it means the link between 933 and 934 is NOT good, which made the back channel transmission error.

    For this issue, please try to check whether the PoC design has issue? cable  is not good? etc.

    best regards,

    Steven

  • Hi Steven

    Thanks for the reply.

    The UB913 part is from the finished product (vehicle rearview camera), we made our UB914 board for the decoding purpose. 

    We have tested the LVDS cable and it was working fine. Btw, what is PoC design?

    Best Regards

    Tommy

  • HI, Tommy

    It is on high speed serial link design, if the channel or receiver/transmitter has issue, the link would become weak and have bit error. so pls check the link error firstly to dig out the root cause. regarding the POC, it is added into the high speed link, please check below app. note on power over cable design and its request. You also can refer to UB934 d/s on this.

  • Hi Steven

    Thanks for your information! We have checked all the register values in UB914A and didn't find any error. Here is the UB914 register value (0x00 ~ 0xFF) FYI

  • Hi, Yes, the reg. 0x1a/1b/1c doesn't indicate the bit error. So pls:

    1. measure the VS pin of UB913a and VS pin of UB914a in the same plot (you need use 2probes to measure these two signals), and observe whether the VS in UB914a is lost?

    2. if Vs is lost in UB914a, pls read the reg. 0x1a/1b/1c again.

    regards,

    Steven
