Introduction

The NS6129S deserializer chip is compliant to Automotive Wired High-Speed Media Transmission (HSMT) standard. Pairing with a compatible HSMTThe NS6129S is ISO 26262 ASIL-B certified and supports I2C and SPI control ports, flexible GPIO with trigger mode, constant latency mode and oversample mode, tunneled UART, forward and backward audio channels, a built-in ADC, temperature sensor, and an extensive set of diagnostics for functional safety. serializer, the NS6129S is used for transmission of forward video and bidirectional audio and control data for automotive display applications. The NS6129S receives the HSMT input over a single or dual HSMT links and converts the input to OpenLDI formatted output. Each HSMT link operates at a fixed data rate up to 6.4Gbps in the forward direction and 100Mbps in the backward direction. The NS6129S supports 16m Coaxial cable or 10m Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable at 6.4Gbps. The NS6129S is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certified with automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, and meets ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD requirements.
