Introduction

The NS6601 Deserializer chip is compliant to Automotive Wired High-Speed Media Transmission (HSMT) standard. The NS6601 converts HSMT input to MIPI CSI-2   D-PHY or C-PHY formatted output. The NS6601 is a quad-receiving chip to accommodate as many as 4 remotely located sensors. HSMT link operates at a fixed data rate of 3.2Gbps or 2.0Gbps in the forward direction, and 100Mbps in the backward direction. The NS6601  supports Power-over-Cable(PoC)operation over 22 meters Coaxial cable or 12 meters Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, with multiple inline connectors. The NS6601 is ISO 26262 ASIL-B and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certified with automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
