SNLS179F – APRIL 2004 – REVISED APRIL 2013

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The DS90C363B are backward compatible with the DS90C363/DS90CF363, DS90C363A/DS90CF363A and are

a pin-for-pin replacement.

This device may also be used as a replacement for the DS90CF563 (5V, 65MHz) and DS90CF561 (5V, 40MHz)

FPD-Link Transmitters with certain considerations/modifications:

2. To implement a falling edge device for the DS90C363B, the R_FB pin (pin 14) may be tied to ground OR left

unconnected (an internal pull-down resistor biases this pin low). Biasing this pin to Vcc implements a rising

edge device.

TRANSMITTER INPUT PINS

The DS90C363B transmitter input and control inputs accept 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS levels. They are not 5V

tolerant.

TRANSMITTER INPUT CLOCK/DATA SEQUENCING

The DS90C363B does not require any special requirement for sequencing of the input clock/data and PD

(PowerDown) signal. The DS90C363B offers a more robust input sequencing feature where the input clock/data

can be inserted after the release of the PD signal. In the case where the clock/data is stopped and reapplied,

such as changing video mode within Graphics Controller, it is not necessary to cycle the PD signal. However,

there are in certain cases where the PD may need to be asserted during these mode changes. In cases where

the source (Graphics Source) may be supplying an unstable clock or spurious noisy clock output to the LVDS

transmitter, the LVDS Transmitter may attempt to lock onto this unstable clock signal but is unable to do so due

the instability or quality of the clock source. The PD signal in these cases should then be asserted once a stable

clock is applied to the LVDS transmitter. Asserting the PWR DOWN pin will effectively place the device in reset

and disable the PLL, enabling the LVDS Transmitter into a power saving standby mode. However, it is still

generally a good practice to assert the PWR DOWN pin or reset the LVDS transmitter whenever the clock/data is

stopped and reapplied but it is not mandatory for the DS90C363B.

SPREAD SPECTRUM CLOCK SUPPORT

The DS90C363B can support Spread Spectrum Clocking signal type inputs. The DS90C383B outputs will

accurately track Spread Spectrum Clock/Data inputs with modulation frequencies of up to 100kHz (max.)with

either center spread of ±2.5% or down spread -5% deviations.

POWER SOURCES SEQUENCE

three separate de-coupling bypass capacitor groups. There is no requirement on which VCC entering the device

first.
