DS90UB954-Q1EVM: Deserializer Reference Clock issue

Part Number: DS90UB954-Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ALP

Hello, 

I'm testing camera sensor with SER/DES  EVM (DS90UB953A/DS90UB954). 

I'm using  clock synchronous mode. 

DS90UB954 EVM has external 25Mhz clock.    but  ALP information display  24MHz as shown below. 

and  I  check  0xA5 Register ( REFCLK_FREQ) .

Ref Frequency is also display 0x18  ( 24MHz  ). 

I measured RefClock frequency on camera sensor boardby oscilloscope .

It measured 25MHz.

Which frequency value is setting my sensor to initialize?

Best, 

Jongpil Chae

  • Hello Jongpil,

    if you are using 25MHz as REFCLK on the 954 side, and you do not change the CLKOUT configuration on the 953, then your sensor will be getting the 25MHz.

    You are seeing 24MHz on ALP due to measurement tollerence of the internal oscillator of the 954, so do not worry!
