Deserialiser is solution for distribution of digital video and audio in automotive infotainment systems

Texas Instruments’ DS90UB924-Q1 24-bit colour FPD-Link III to OpenLDI deserialiser, now available from Mouser, provides a solution for distribution of digital video and audio within automotive infotainment systems. The device converts a high-speed serialised interface with an embedded clock. This is delivered over a single signal pair (FPD-Link III), to four LVDS data/control streams, one LVDS clock pair (OpenLDI), and I2S audio data. The serial bus scheme, FPD-Link III, supports high-speed forward channel data transmission and low-speed full duplex back channel communication over a single differential link. Consolidation of audio, video data and control over a single differential pair reduces the interconnect size and weight, while also eliminating skew issues and simplifying system design.
