Typical Connection and Test Equipment
The following is a list of typical test equipment that may be used to generate signals for the
Serializer inputs:
1) Digital Video Source – for generation of specific display timing such as CMOS imager
or Graphics Controller with digital video signals (1.8V/3.3V LVCMOS).
2) Any other signal generator / video source that generates the correct input levels.
The following is a list of typical test equipment that may be used to monitor the output
signals from the Deserializer:
1) Controller or capture card which supports digital video signals (1.8V/3.3V
LVCMOS).
2) Video capture card
3) Microcontroller or FPGA with an I
2
C interface
4) Optional – Logic Analyzer or Oscilloscope
5) Any SCOPE with a bandwidth of at least 50MHz for 1.8V/3.3V LVCMOS and/or
1.5GHz for observing differential signals.
Figure 4 below illustrates an application using a camera connected to DS90UB901Q with
I
2
C bus and a MCU/FPGA controller connected to DS90UB902Q with I
2
C bus. Both
Camera video and control information are transferred on the same serial video link.
