Introduction
The NBA3N206S is a 3.3 V differential Multipoint
(M−LVDS) line Driver and Receiver. NBA3N206S
supports Simplex or Half Duplex bus configurations.
The NBA3N206S has Type−2 receivers that detect the
bus state with as little as 50 mV of differential input voltage
over a common−mode voltage range of −1 V to 3.4 V.
Type−2 receivers include an offset threshold of 0.1 V to
provide a detectable voltage under open−circuit, idle−bus,
and other fault conditions.
The NBA3N206SDGEVB evaluation board was
developed to accommodate the NBA3N206S device. This
evaluation board was designed to provide a flexible and
convenient platform to quickly evaluate, characterize and
verify the operation of the NBA3N206S.

Section 1: Board Features
• Board supplied includes an 8−Pin SOIC.
• Board is configured to operate from a single VCC
Layer Stack
The NBA3N206SDGEVB SOIC−8 Evaluation Board
provides a high bandwidth, 50 W controlled trace impedance
environment (100 W line−to−line differential) and is
implemented in four layers.
• L1 (Top) Signal
• L2 SMA Ground
• L3 VCC and DUT Ground
• L4 (Bottom) Power Supply Bypass Capacitors, Control
Pin Traces and Banana Jacks
supply and a single GND supply.
• Single−ended and differential inputs/outputs are
•

•
accessed via SMA connectors or high impedance
probes.
Board may be configured for bus operation as:
1. Point−to−Point with Simplex Single Termination
2. Point−to−Point with Simplex Parallel Termination
3. Multipoint Two−Node with Single Termination
4. Multipoint Two−Node with Parallel Termination
Two 100 W Parallel Termination resistors are mounted
on each bus (Driver/Receiver) transceiver I/O pin pair.
Resistors may be removed for added configuration
flexibility.
All layers are constructed with FR4 dielectric material.
The first layer is the primary signal layer, including all
of the differential inputs and outputs.
The second layer is a ground plane. It is dedicated for
the SMA ground plane.
The third layer is a dedicated power plane. A portion of
the 3rd layer is designated for the device VCC and
DUTGND power planes.

Test Configurations
Simplex Theory Configurations: Data flow is
unidirectional and Point−to−Point from one Driver to one
Receiver. NBA3N206SDG devices provide a high signal
current allowing long drive runs and high noise immunity.
Single terminated interconnects yield high amplitude levels.
Parallel terminated interconnects yield typical MLVDS
amplitude levels and minimize reflections. See Figures 5
and 6. NBA3N206SDG can be used as a driver or as a
receiver.
Figure 5. Point−to−Point Simplex Single Termination
Figure 6. Parallel−Terminated Simplex
Simplex Multidrop Theory Configurations: Data flow
is unidirectional from one Driver with one or more
Receivers (Multiple boards required). Single terminated
interconnects yield high amplitude levels. Parallel
terminated interconnects yield typical MLVDS amplitude
levels and minimize reflections. Header P3 may be used as
needed to interconnect transceivers to each other or to a bus.
See Figures 1, 7, and 8. A NBA3N206SDG can be used as
the driver or as a receiver.
Figure 7. Multidrop or Distributed Simplex with Single Termination
Figure 8. Multidrop or Distributed Simplex with Double Termination
Half Duplex Multinode Multipoint Theory
Configurations: Data flow is unidirectional and selected
from one of multiple possible Drivers to multiple Receives.
One “Two Node” multipoint connection can be
accomplished with a single board. Multipoint connection
with more than two nodes require multiple boards. Parallel
terminated interconnects yield typical MLVDS amplitude
levels and minimize reflections. Header P3 may be used as
needed to interconnect transceivers to each other or to a bus.
See Figure 9. NBA3N206SDG can be used as a driver or as
a receiver.

HP8133A generator. The Receiver Output (VR) can be
monitored using a Hi−Z probe; the Differential Bus Voltage
(VAB) can be monitored using a Differential probe.
