•
•
The DS8921, DS8921A, and DS8921AT devices are
differential line driver and receiver pairs designed
specifically for applications meeting the ST506,
ST412, and ESDI disk drive standards. In addition,
these devices meet the requirements of the EIA
standard RS-422.

•
Differential Line Driver and Receiver for:
– ST506 Disk Drive Standard
– ST412 Disk Drive Standard
– ESDI Disk Drive Standard
– RS-422 Interface
The DS8921x receivers offer an input sensitivity of
200 mV over a ±7 V common mode operating range.
Hysteresis is incorporated (typically 70 mV) to
improve noise margin for slowly changing input
waveforms.
The DS8921x drivers are designed to provide
unipolar differential drive to twisted-pair or parallel
wire transmission lines. Complementary outputs are
logically ANDed and provide an output skew of 0.5 ns
(typical) with propagation delays of 12 ns.
The DS8921x devices are designed to be compatible
with TTL and CMOS.

Differential Delays are defined as calculated results from single ended rise and fall time measurements. This approach in establishing
AC performance specifications has been taken due to limitations of available Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). The calculated ATE
results assume a linear transition between measurement points and are a result of the following equations:
Tcr = Crossing Point Tra, Trb, Tfa and T fb are time measurements with respect to the input. See Figure 8.

8.3 Feature Description
The DS8921x devices each contain a differential driver and receiver.
The driver converts a TTL or CMOS input to complementary outputs that provide differential drive to a twistedpair or parallel wire transmission line. The receiver converts the differential signals at its input pins to a TTL
output. The receiver offers an input sensitivity of ±200 mV and supports a common-mode input voltage of ±7 V.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The DS8921 is a differential line driver and receiver pair in a single package, designed for applications for the
ST506, ST412, and ESDI Disk Drive Standards. The DS8921 is compatible to EIA RS-422 signaling standards,
supporting 200-mV input sensitivity across a ±7-V common mode operating range. This transceiver is intended
for driving differential signal across long transmission lines and translating received differential signals into their
CMOS/TTL single-ended equivalence. The DS8921 transmits and reproduces received data in communications
links where ground reference difference, or noisy environment are common.
9.2 Typical Application
Figure 11 shows a typical implementation of the DS8921x device in a ST506 and ST412 disk drive application.
The differential outputs of the driver are connected to a twisted-pair transmission line, carrying data from the
driver to the differential receiver at the other end of the cable. A differential termination resistor should be
connected across the input pins of the receiver.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
• Apply TTL or LVCMOS signal to driver input at DI
• Transmit complementary outputs at DO+ and DO• Receive complimentary input signals at RI+ and RI• Receive TTL output signal at RO
• Use controlled-impedance transmission lines such as printed circuit board traces, twisted-pair wires or parallel
wire cable
• Place terminating resistor at the far end of the differential pair
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
• Connect VCC and GND pins to the power and ground planes of the printed circuit board, with 0.1-uF bypass
capacitor
• Use TTL/LVCMOS logic levels at DI and RO
• Use controlled-impedance transmission media for the differential signals DI+- and RO+• Place a terminating resistor at the far-end of the differential pair to avoid reflection
• Ensure the received complimentary signals at RO+ and RO- are within the signal threshold of ±200 mV

10 Power Supply Recommendations
TI recommends connecting the supply (VCC) and ground (GND) pins to power planes that are routed on
adjacent layers of the PCB. Additionally, careful attention should be paid to bypassing the supply using a
capacitor. A 0.1-µF bypass capacitor should be connected to the VCC pin such that the capacitor is as close as
possible to the device.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
High-speed interconnects should be treated as transmission lines with a controlled impedance. The differential
interconnect can be a pair of printed-circuit board (PCB) traces, twisted-pair wires, or a parallel wire cable. A
termination resistor should be placed at the differential input, and the resistor value should be approximately the
same as the differential impedance of the transmission line to minimize reflections.
It is preferable to connect the VCC and GND pins to the power and ground planes using plated-through-holes.
Additionally, a 0.1-µF bypass capacitor should be placed close to the VCC pin across VCC and GND.
Place a terminating resistor at the receiving end of the interconnect transmission line, as close as possible to the
input pins of the receiver. The terminating resistor value should be approximately the same as the differential pair
impedance to minimize reflection, and the transmission line should have a controlled impedance with minimum
impedance discontinuities.
The input and output differential signals of the device should have traces that are routed exclusively on one layer
of the board, and the differential pairs should also be routed away from other differential pairs in order to
minimize crosstalk between transmission lines. Additionally, the differential pairs should have a controlled
impedance with minimum impedance discontinuities and be terminated with a resistor that is closely matched to
the differential pair impedance in order to minimize transmission line reflections. The differential pairs should be
routed with uniform trace width and spacing to minimize impedance mismatch.
