Texas Instruments has introduced the TSER953 serializer, which is a part of TI's V3Link device family designed to support high-speed raw data sensors such as 2.3 MP imagers at 60 fps, 4 MP, 30 fps cameras, satellite radars, LIDAR, and time-of-flight (ToF) sensors. The TSER953 provides a 4.16 Gbps forward channel and an ultra-low latency, 50 Mbps bidirectional control channel, and supports a single power-over-coax (PoC) or STP cable.
The TSER953 serializer features advanced data protection and diagnostic capabilities, making it suitable for various applications such as robotics and automation, medical imaging, security, or surveillance, while simplifying design in industrial and medical camera applications. When paired with a deserializer, the TSER953 offers precise multicamera sensor clock and sensor synchronization. The serializer is available in a compact 5 mm x 5 mm VQFN package, ideal for space-constrained sensor applications.
