TYPICAL APPLICATION
Figure 4. Point-to-Point Application
Applications Information
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as
is shown in Figure 4. This configuration provides a clean signaling environment for the quick edge rates of the
drivers. The receiver is connected to the driver through a balanced media which may be a standard twisted pair
cable, a parallel pair cable, or simply PCB traces. Typically, the characteristic impedance of the media is in the
range of 100Ω. A termination resistor of 100Ω should be selected to match the media, and is located as close to
the receiver input pins as possible. The termination resistor converts the current sourced by the driver into a
voltage that is detected by the receiver. Other configurations are possible such as a multi-receiver configuration,
but the effects of a mid-stream connector(s), cable stub(s), and other impedance discontinuities as well as
ground shifting, noise margin limits, and total termination loading must be taken into account.
The DS90C401 differential line driver is a balanced current source design. A current mode driver, generally
speaking has a high output impedance and supplies a constant current for a range of loads (a voltage mode
driver on the other hand supplies a constant voltage for a range of loads). Current is switched through the load in
one direction to produce a logic state and in the other direction to produce the other logic state. The typical
output current is mere 3.4 mA, a minimum of 2.5 mA, and a maximum of 4.5 mA. The current mode requires (as
discussed above) that a resistive termination be employed to terminate the signal and to complete the loop as
shown in Figure 4. AC or unterminated configurations are not allowed. The 3.4 mA loop current will develop a
differential voltage of 340 mV across the 100Ω termination resistor which the receiver detects with a 240 mV
minimum differential noise margin neglecting resistive line losses (driven signal minus receiver threshold (340
mV – 100 mV = 240 mV)). The signal is centered around +1.2V (Driver Offset, VOS) with respect to ground as
shown in Figure 5. Note that the steady-state voltage (VSS) peak-to-peak swing is twice the differential voltage
(VOD) and is typically 680 mV.
The current mode driver provides substantial benefits over voltage mode drivers, such as an RS-422 driver. Its
quiescent current remains relatively flat versus switching frequency. Whereas the RS-422 voltage mode driver
increases exponentially in most case between 20 MHz–50 MHz. This is due to the overlap current that flows
between the rails of the device when the internal gates switch. Whereas the current mode driver switches a fixed
current between its output without any substantial overlap current. This is similar to some ECL and PECL
devices, but without the heavy static ICC requirements of the ECL/PECL designs. LVDS requires > 80% less
current than similar PECL devices. AC specifications for the driver are a tenfold improvement over other existing
RS-422 drivers.
