Applications Information
The DS90C363 and DS90CF364 are backward compatible
with the existing 5V FPD Link transmitter/receiver pair
(DS90CF563 and DS90CF564). To upgrade from a 5V to a
3.3V system the following must be addressed:
1. Change 5V power supply to 3.3V. Provide this supply to
the VCC, LVDS VCC and PLL V CC of both the transmitter
and receiver devices. This change may enable the re-
moval of a 5V supply from the system, and power may
be supplied from an existing 3V power source.
2. The DS90C363 (transmitter) incorporates
a rise/fall
strobe select pin. This select function is on pin 14, for-
merly a VCC connection on the 5V products. When the
rise/fall strobe select pin is connected to V CC, the part is
configured with a rising edge strobe. In a system cur-
rently using
a 5V rising edge strobe transmitter
(DS90CR563), no layout changes are required to ac-
commodate the new rise/fall select pin on the 3.3V
transmitter. The VCC signal may remain at pin 14, and
the device will be configured with a rising edge strobe.
When converting from a 5V falling edge transmitter
(DS90CF563) to the 3V transmitter a minimal board
layout change is necessary. The 3.3V transmitter will
not be configured with a falling edge strobe if VCC re-
mains connected to the select pin. To guarantee the
3.3V transmitter functions with a falling edge strobe pin
14 should be connected to ground OR left unconnected.
When not connected (left open) and internal pull-down
resistor ties pin 14 to ground, thus configuring the trans-
mitter with a falling edge strobe.
3. The DS90C363 transmitter input and control inputs ac-
cept 3.3V TTL/CMOS levels. They are not 5V tolerant.
