Typical Applications
DS90CR211MTDX is suitable for 6 applications: Flat Panel Displays, Industrial Cameras, Medical Imaging, Automotive Infotainment, Test and Measurement, Digital Video Interfaces.
Flat Panel Displays
The DS90CR211MTDX is used to transmit RGB video data from a graphics controller to a flat panel display. Its 21-bit parallel input matches the 18-bit or 24-bit RGB interfaces, and the LVDS output reduces the number of cables needed. The 840 Mbps data rate supports resolutions up to WXGA (1366x768) at 60 Hz. The low EMI of LVDS ensures clean signal transmission in consumer electronics.
Recommended
Industrial Cameras
In industrial machine vision systems, the DS90CR211MTDX transmits high-speed image data from a camera sensor to a processing unit. The 21-bit width accommodates 10-bit or 12-bit pixel data with synchronization signals. The wide operating temperature range (-40Β°C to +85Β°C) and robust LVDS signaling make it suitable for harsh factory environments. The serialized output reduces cable cost and improves reliability.

Key Differentiators
- Lead-free version available (vs DS90CR211MTD)
- Pin-compatible with DS90CR211MTD (vs DS90CR213MTDX)
- Lower pin count for 21-bit interface (vs DS90CR561MTDX)
Design Notes
For optimal signal integrity, route the LVDS output pairs as 100Ξ© differential pairs with controlled impedance. Keep the traces as short as possible and avoid vias. Place a 100Ξ© termination resistor across each LVDS pair at the receiver end. The PLL power supply (PLLVCC) should be decoupled with a 0.1Β΅F capacitor placed as close to the pin as possible.
The DS90CR211MTDX requires a clean 4.5V to 5.5V supply. Use a 10Β΅F bulk capacitor and a 0.1Β΅F ceramic capacitor near the VCC pins. The PLLVCC pin should have its own 0.1Β΅F capacitor to minimize noise coupling into the PLL, which could increase jitter on the LVDS outputs.
Ensure the parallel input clock (CLKIN) is clean and has low jitter, as it directly affects the LVDS output jitter. Avoid routing CLKIN near high-speed switching signals. The power-down pin (PDWN) is active low; tie it high if not used. Do not leave unused inputs floating; tie them to GND or VCC as appropriate.
