APPLICATION INFORMATION
General application guidelines and hints for LVDS drivers and receivers may be found in the following application
notes: LVDS Owner's Manual (lit #550062-003), AN-808 (SNLA028), AN-977 (SNLA166), AN-971 (SNLA165),
AN-916 (SNLA219), AN-805 (SNOA233), AN-903 (SNLA034).
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as
is shown in Figure 5. This configuration provides a clean signaling environment for the fast 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. The internal termination resistor converts the driver output (current mode) 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 DS90LT012AQ differential line receiver is capable of detecting signals as low as 100 mV, over a ±1V
common-mode range centered around +1.2V. This is related to the driver offset voltage which is typically +1.2V.
The driven signal is centered around this voltage and may shift ±1V around this center point. The ±1V shifting
may be the result of a ground potential difference between the driver's ground reference and the receiver's
ground reference, the common-mode effects of coupled noise, or a combination of the two. The AC parameters
of both receiver input pins are optimized for a recommended operating input voltage range of 0V to +2.4V
(measured from each pin to ground). The device will operate for receiver input voltages up to VDD, but exceeding
VDD will turn on the ESD protection circuitry which will clamp the bus voltages.

POWER DECOUPLING RECOMMENDATIONS
Bypass capacitors must be used on power pins. Use high frequency ceramic (surface mount is recommended)
0.1μF and 0.001μF capacitors in parallel at the power supply pin with the smallest value capacitor closest to the
device supply pin. Additional scattered capacitors over the printed circuit board will improve decoupling. Multiple
vias should be used to connect the decoupling capacitors to the power planes. A 10μF (35V) or greater solid
tantalum capacitor should be connected at the power entry point on the printed circuit board between the supply
and ground.
PC BOARD CONSIDERATIONS
Use at least 4 PCB board layers (top to bottom): LVDS signals, ground, power, TTL signals.
Isolate TTL signals from LVDS signals, otherwise the TTL signals may couple onto the LVDS lines. It is best to
put TTL and LVDS signals on different layers which are isolated by a power/ground plane(s).
Keep drivers and receivers as close to the (LVDS port side) connectors as possible.
DIFFERENTIAL TRACES
Use controlled impedance traces which match the differential impedance of your transmission medium (ie. cable)
and termination resistor. Run the differential pair trace lines as close together as possible as soon as they leave
the IC (stubs should be < 10mm long). This will help eliminate reflections and ensure noise is coupled as
common-mode. In fact, we have seen that differential signals which are 1mm apart radiate far less noise than
traces 3mm apart since magnetic field cancellation is much better with the closer traces. In addition, noise
induced on the differential lines is much more likely to appear as common-mode which is rejected by the
receiver.
Match electrical lengths between traces to reduce skew. Skew between the signals of a pair means a phase
difference between signals which destroys the magnetic field cancellation benefits of differential signals and EMI
will result! (Note that the velocity of propagation, v = c/E r where c (the speed of light) = 0.2997mm/ps or 0.0118
in/ps). Do not rely solely on the autoroute function for differential traces. Carefully review dimensions to match
differential impedance and provide isolation for the differential lines. Minimize the number of vias and other
discontinuities on the line.
Avoid 90° turns (these cause impedance discontinuities). Use arcs or 45° bevels.
Within a pair of traces, the distance between the two traces should be minimized to maintain common-mode
rejection of the receivers. On the printed circuit board, this distance should remain constant to avoid
discontinuities in differential impedance. Minor violations at connection points are allowable.
TERMINATION
The DS90LT012AQ integrates the terminating resistor for point-to-point applications. The resistor value will be
between 90Ω and 133Ω.
THRESHOLD
The LVDS Standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A) specifies a maximum threshold of ±100mV for the LVDS receiver.
The DS90LT012AQ supports an enhanced threshold region of −100mV to 0V. This is useful for fail-safe biasing.
The threshold region is shown in the Voltage Transfer Curve (VTC) in Figure 6. The typical DS90LT012AQ LVDS
receiver switches at about −30mV. Note that with VID = 0V, the output will be in a HIGH state. With an external
fail-safe bias of +25mV applied, the typical differential noise margin is now the difference from the switch point to
the bias point. In the example below, this would be 55mV of Differential Noise Margin (+25mV − (−30mV)). With
the enhanced threshold region of −100mV to 0V, this small external fail-safe biasing of +25mV (with respect to
0V) gives a DNM of a comfortable 55mV. With the standard threshold region of ±100mV, the external fail-safe
biasing would need to be +25mV with respect to +100mV or +125mV, giving a DNM of 155mV which is stronger
fail-safe biasing than is necessary for the DS90LT012AQ. If more DNM is required, then a stronger fail-safe bias
point can be set by changing resistor values.

FAIL SAFE BIASING
External pull up and pull down resistors may be used to provide enough of an offset to enable an input failsafe
under open-circuit conditions. This configuration ties the positive LVDS input pin to VDD thru a pull up resistor
and the negative LVDS input pin is tied to GND by a pull down resistor. The pull up and pull down resistors
should be in the 5kΩ to 15kΩ range to minimize loading and waveform distortion to the driver. The commonmode bias point ideally should be set to approximately 1.2V (less than 1.75V) to be compatible with the internal
circuitry. Please refer to application note AN-1194 (SNLA051), “Failsafe Biasing of LVDS Interfaces” for more
information.
PROBING LVDS TRANSMISSION LINES
Always use high impedance (> 100kΩ), low capacitance (< 2 pF) scope probes with a wide bandwidth (1 GHz)
scope. Improper probing will give deceiving results.
CABLES AND CONNECTORS, GENERAL COMMENTS
When choosing cable and connectors for LVDS it is important to remember:
Use controlled impedance media. The cables and connectors you use should have a matched differential
impedance of about 100Ω. They should not introduce major impedance discontinuities.
Balanced cables (e.g. twisted pair) are usually better than unbalanced cables (ribbon cable, simple coax) for
noise reduction and signal quality. Balanced cables tend to generate less EMI due to field canceling effects and
also tend to pick up electromagnetic radiation a common-mode (not differential mode) noise which is rejected by
the receiver.
For cable distances < 0.5M, most cables can be made to work effectively. For distances 0.5M ≤ d ≤ 10M, CAT 3
(category 3) twisted pair cable works well, is readily available and relatively inexpensive.
