It operates from a single supply that is nominally 3.3 V, but can be as low as 3.0 V and as high as 3.6 V. The input signal to the DS90LV011AH is an LVCMOS/LVTTL signal. The output of the device is a differential signal complying with the LVDS standard (TIA/EIA-644). The differential output signal operates with a signal level of 350 mV, nominally, at a common-mode voltage of 1.2 V. This low differential output voltage results in low electromagnetic interference (EMI). The differential nature of the output provides immunity to common-mode coupled signals that the driven signal may experience. The DS90LV011AH is primarily used in point-to-point configurations, as seen in Figure 9-1. This configuration provides a clean signaling environment for the fast edge rates of the DS90LV011AH and other LVDS drivers. The DS90LV011AH is connected through a balanced media which may be a standard twisted pair cable, a parallel pair cable, or simply PCB traces to a LVDS receiver. Typically, the characteristic differential impedance of the media is in the range of 100 Ω. The DS90LV011AH device is intended to drive a 100-Ω transmission line. The 100-Ω termination resistor is selected to match the media and is located as close to the LVDS receiver input pins as possible. 8.2 Functional Block Diagram 8.3 Feature Description 8.3.1 DS90LV011AH Driver Functionality As can be seen in Table 8-1, the driver signle-ended input to differential output relationship is defined. When the driver input is left open, the differential output is undefined. Table 8-1.

When the supply voltage drops below 1.5 V (or is turning on and has not yet reached 1.5 V), power-on reset circuitry set the driver output to a high-impedance state. 8.3.3 Driver Offset An LVDS-compliant driver is required to maintain the common-mode output voltage at 1.2 V (±75 mV). The DS90LV011AH incorporates sense circuitry and a control loop to source common-mode current and keep the output signal within specified values. Further, the device maintains the output common-mode voltage at this set point over the full 3.0-V to 3.6-V supply range. 8.4 Device Functional Modes The device has one mode of operation that applies when operated within Section 6.3. 8 Submit Document Feedback Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DS90LV011AH DS90LV011AH www.ti.com SNLS198C – SEPTEMBER 2005 – REVISED JULY 2021 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, as well as validating and testing their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 9.1 Application Information The DS90LV011AH device is a single-channel LVDS driver. The functionality of this device is simple, yet extremely flexible, leading to its use in designs ranging from wireless base stations to desktop computers. The varied class of potential applications share features and applications discussed in the paragraphs below. The DS90LV011AH has a flow-through pinout that allows for easy PCB layout. The LVDS signals on one side of the device easily allows for matching electrical lengths of the differential pair trace lines between the driver and the receiver as well as allowing the trace lines to be close together to couple noise as common-mode. Noise isolation is achieved with the LVDS signals on one side of the device and the TTL signals on the other side. 9.2 Typical Application Figure 9-1. Point-to-Point Application 9.2.1 Design Requirements Table 9-1 lists the design parameters for this example Table 9-1.

The device can support operation with a supply as low as 3.0 V and as high as 3.6 V. The driver output voltage is dependent upon the chosen supply voltage. The minimum output voltage stays within the specified LVDS limits (247 mV to 450 mV) for a 3.3-V supply. If the supply range is between 3.0 V and 3.6 V, the minimum output voltage may be as low as 150 mV. If a communication link is designed to operate with a supply within this lower range, the channel noise margin will need to be looked at carefully to ensure error-free operation.

Specifically, they create low-impedance paths between power and ground. At low frequencies, a good digital power supply offers very low-impedance paths between its terminals. However, as higher frequency currents propagate through power traces, the source is quite often incapable of maintaining a low-impedance path to ground. Bypass capacitors are used to address this shortcoming. Usually, large bypass capacitors (10 μF to 1000 μF) at the board-level do a good job up into the kHz range. Due to their size and length of their leads, they tend to have large inductance values at the switching frequencies of modern digital circuitry. To solve this problem, one must resort to the use of smaller capacitors (nF to μF range) installed locally next to the integrated circuit. Multilayer ceramic chip or surface-mount capacitors (size 0603 or 0805) minimize lead inductances of bypass capacitors in high-speed environments, because their lead inductance is about 1 nH. For comparison purposes, a typical capacitor with leads has a lead inductance around 5 nH. The value of the bypass capacitors used locally with LVDS chips can be determined by Equation 1 and Equation 2 according to Johnson1 equations 8.18 to 8.21. A conservative rise time of 200 ps and a worst-case change in supply current of 1 A covers the whole range of LVDS devices offered by Texas Instruments. In this example, the maximum power supply noise tolerated is 200 mV. However, this figure varies depending on the noise budget available in the design. 1 æ DIMaximum Step Change Supply Current ö Cchip = ç ÷ ´ TRise Time è DVMaximum Power Supply Noise ø (1) æ 1A ö CLVDS = ç ÷ ´ 200 ps = 0.001 mF è 0.2V ø (2) Figure 9-2 lowers lead inductance and covers intermediate frequencies between the board-level capacitor (>10 µF) and the value of capacitance found above (0.001 µF). TI recommends that the user place the smallest value of capacitance as close to the chip as possible. 3.3 V 0.1 µF 0.001 µF Figure 9-2. Recommended LVDS Bypass Capacitor Layout 9.2.2.3 Driver Input Votlage DS90LV011AH input is designed to support a wide input voltage range. The input stage can accept signals as high as 3.6 V when the supply voltage is 3.6 V. 9.2.2.4 Driver Output Voltage DS90LV011AH driver output has a 1.2-V common-mode voltage, with a nominal differential output signal of 350 mV. This 350 mV is the absolute value of the differential swing (VOD = |V+– V–|). The peak-to-peak differential voltage is twice this value, or 700 mV. LVDS receiver thresholds are ±100 mV. With these receiver decision thresholds, it is clear that the disadvantage of operating the driver with a lower supply will be noise margin. With fully compliant LVDS drivers and receivers, we would expect a minimum of ~150 mV of noise margin (247-mV minimum output voltage – 100-mV maximum input requirement). If we operate the DS90LV011AH with a supply in the range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V, the minimum noise margin will drop to 150 mV. 1 10 Howard Johnson & Martin Graham.1993.

This media may be a twisted-pair, twinax, flat ribbon cable, or PCB traces. The nominal characteristic impedance of the interconnect media should be between 100 Ω and 120 Ω with a variation of no more than 10% (90 Ω to 132 Ω). 9.2.2.6 PCB Transmission Lines As per the LVDS Owner's Manual Design Guide, 4th Edition, Figure 9-3 depicts several transmission line structures commonly used in printed-circuit boards (PCBs). Each structure consists of a signal line and return path with a uniform cross section along its length. A microstrip is a signal trace on the top (or bottom) layer, separated by a dielectric layer from its return path in a ground or power plane. A stripline is a signal trace in the inner layer, with a dielectric layer in between a ground plane above and below the signal trace. The dimensions of the structure along with the dielectric material properties determine the characteristic impedance of the transmission line (also called controlled-impedance transmission line). When two signal lines are placed close by, they form a pair of coupled transmission lines. Figure 9-3 shows examples of edge-coupled microstrip lines, and edge-coupled or broad-side-coupled striplines. When excited by differential signals, the coupled transmission line is referred to as a differential pair. The characteristic impedance of each line is called odd-mode impedance. The sum of the odd-mode impedances of each line is the differential impedance of the differential pair. In addition to the trace dimensions and dielectric material properties, the spacing between the two traces determines the mutual coupling and impacts the differential impedance. When the two lines are immediately adjacent; for example, S is less than 2 W, the differential pair is called a tightly-coupled differential pair. To maintain constant differential impedance along the length, it is important to keep the trace width and spacing uniform along the length, as well as maintain good symmetry between the two lines.

This load serves to convert the transmitted current into a voltage at the receiver input. To ensure incident wave switching (which is necessary to operate the channel at the highest signaling rate), the termination resistance should be matched to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. The designer should ensure that the termination resistance is within 10% of the nominal media characteristic impedance. If the transmission line is targeted for 100-Ω impedance, the termination resistance should be between 90 Ω and 110 Ω. The line termination resistance should be placed as close to the receiver as possible to minimize the stub length from the resistor to the receiver. 9.2.4 Application Curve Figure 9-4. DS90LV011AH Performance: Data Rate vs Cable Length 10 Power Supply Recommendations The DS90LV011AH driver is designed to operate from a single power supply with supply voltage in the range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V. In a typical application, a driver and a receiver may be on separate boards, or even separate equipment. In these cases, separate supplies would be used at each location. The expected ground potential difference between the driver power supply and the driver power supply would be less than |±1 V|. Board level and local device level bypass capacitance should be used. 12 Submit Document Feedback Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DS90LV011AH DS90LV011AH www.ti.com SNLS198C – SEPTEMBER 2005 – REVISED JULY 2021 11 Layout 11.1 Layout Guidelines 11.1.1 Microstrip vs. Stripline Topologies As per the LVDS Application and Data Handbook, printed-circuit boards usually offer designers two transmission line options: Microstrip and stripline. Microstrips are traces on the outer layer of a PCB, as shown in Figure 11-1. Figure 11-1. Microstrip Topology On the other hand, striplines are traces between two ground planes. Striplines are less prone to emissions and susceptibility problems because the reference planes effectively shield the embedded traces. However, from the standpoint of high-speed transmission, juxtaposing two planes creates additional capacitance. TI recommends routing LVDS signals on microstrip transmission lines when possible. The PCB traces allow designers to specify the necessary tolerances for ZO based on the overall noise budget and reflection allowances. Footnotes 12, 23, and 34 provide formulas for ZO and tPD for differential and single-ended traces. 2 3 4 Figure 11-2. Stripline Topology 11.1.2 Dielectric Type and Board Construction The speeds at which signals travel across the board dictates the choice of dielectric. FR-4, or equivalent, usually provides adequate performance for use with LVDS signals. If rise or fall times of LVCMOS/LVTTL signals are less than 500 ps, empirical results indicate that a material with a dielectric constant near 3.4, such as Rogers™ 4350 or Nelco N4000-13 is better suited. Once the designer chooses the dielectric, there are several parameters pertaining to the board construction that can affect performance. The following set of guidelines were developed experimentally through several designs involving LVDS devices: • Copper weight: 15 g or 1/2 oz start, plated to 30 g or 1 oz • All exposed circuitry should be solder-plated (60/40) to 7.62 μm or 0.0003 in (minimum). • Copper plating should be 25.4 μm or 0.001 in (minimum) in plated-through-holes. • Solder mask over bare copper with solder hot-air leveling 2 3 4 Howard Johnson & Martin Graham.1993.

To reduce the LVCMOS/LVTTL to LVDS crosstalk, it is good practice to have at least two separate signal planes as shown in Figure 11-3. Layer 1: Routed Plane (LVDS Signals) Layer 2: Ground Plane Layer 3: Power Plane Layer 4: Routed Plane (TTL/CMOS Signals) Figure 11-3. Four-Layer PCB Board Note The separation between layers 2 and 3 should be 127 μm (0.005 in). By keeping the power and ground planes tightly coupled, the increased capacitance acts as a bypass for transients. One of the most common stack configurations is the six-layer board, as shown in Figure 11-4. Layer 1: Routed Plane (LVDS Signals) Layer 2: Ground Plane Layer 3: Power Plane Layer 4: Ground Plane Layer 5: Ground Plane Layer 4: Routed Plane (TTL Signals) Figure 11-4. Six-Layer PCB Board In this particular configuration, it is possible to isolate each signal layer from the power plane by at least one ground plane. The result is improved signal integrity, but fabrication is more expensive. Using the 6-layer board is preferable, because it offers the layout designer more flexibility in varying the distance between signal layers and referenced planes in addition to ensuring reference to a ground plane for signal layers 1 and 6. 11.1.4 Separation Between Traces The separation between traces depends on several factors, but the amount of coupling that can be tolerated usually dictates the actual separation. Low-noise coupling requires close coupling between the differential pair of an LVDS link to benefit from the electromagnetic field cancellation. The traces should be 100-Ω differential and thus coupled in the manner that best fits this requirement. In addition, differential pairs should have the same electrical length to ensure that they are balanced, thus minimizing problems with skew and signal reflection. In the case of two adjacent single-ended traces, one should use the 3-W rule, which stipulates that the distance between two traces must be greater than two times the width of a single trace, or three times its width measured from trace center to trace center. This increased separation effectively reduces the potential for crosstalk. The same rule should be applied to the separation between adjacent LVDS differential pairs, whether the traces are edge-coupled or broad-side-coupled.

For instance, it is best to avoid sharp 90° turns to prevent discontinuities in the signal path. Using successive 45° turns tends to minimize reflections. 14 Submit Document Feedback Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DS90LV011AH DS90LV011AH www.ti.com SNLS198C – SEPTEMBER 2005 – REVISED JULY 2021 11.1.5 Crosstalk and Ground Bounce Minimization To reduce crosstalk, it is important to provide a return path to high-frequency currents that is as close to its originating trace as possible. A ground plane usually achieves this. Because the returning currents always choose the path of lowest inductance, they are most likely to return directly under the original trace, thus minimizing crosstalk. Lowering the area of the current loop lowers the potential for crosstalk. Traces kept as short as possible with an uninterrupted ground plane running beneath them emit the minimum amount of electromagnetic field strength. Discontinuities in the ground plane increase the return path inductance and should be avoided. 11.1.6 Decoupling Each power or ground lead of a high-speed device should be connected to the PCB through a low inductance path. For best results, one or more vias are used to connect a power or ground pin to the nearby plane. TI recommends placing a via immediately adjacent to the pin to avoid adding trace inductance. Placing a power plane closer to the top of the board reduces the effective via length and its associated inductance.

Low Inductance, High-Capacitance Power Connection Bypass capacitors should be placed close to VDD pins. They can be placed conveniently near the corners or underneath the package to minimize the loop area. This extends the useful frequency range of the added capacitance. Small-physical-size capacitors, such as 0402 or even 0201, or X7R surface-mount capacitors should be used to minimize body inductance of capacitors. Each bypass capacitor is connected to the power and ground plane through vias tangent to the pads of the capacitor as shown in Figure 11-7(a). An X7R surface-mount capacitor of size 0402 has about 0.5 nH of body inductance. At frequencies above 30 MHz or so, X7R capacitors behave as low-impedance inductors. To extend the operating frequency range to a few hundred MHz, an array of different capacitor values like 100 pF, 1 nF, 0.03 μF, and 0.1 μF are commonly used in parallel. The most effective bypass capacitor can be built using sandwiched layers of power and ground at a separation of 2 to 3 mils. With a 2-mil FR4 dielectric, there is approximately 500 pF per square inch of PCB. Refer back to Figure 8 for some examples. Many high-speed devices provide a low-inductance GND connection on the backside of the package. This center dap must be connected to a ground plane through an array of vias. The via array reduces the effective inductance to ground and enhances the thermal performance of the small Surface Mount Technology (SMT) package. Placing vias around the perimeter of the dap connection ensures proper heat spreading and the lowest possible die temperature. Placing high-performance devices on opposing sides of the PCB using two GND planes (as shown in Figure 9-3) creates multiple paths for heat transfer. Often thermal PCB issues are the result of one device adding heat to another, resulting in a very high local temperature.

In many cases the GND dap that is so important for heat dissipation makes the optimal decoupling layout impossible to achieve due to insufficient pad-to-dap spacing as shown in Figure 11-7(b). When this occurs, placing the decoupling capacitor on the backside of the board keeps the extra inductance to a minimum. It is important to place the VDD via as close to the device pin as possible while still allowing for sufficient solder mask coverage. If the via is left open, solder may flow from the pad and into the via barrel. This will result in a poor solder connection. VDD IN± 0402 IN+ 0402 (a) (b) Figure 11-7. Typical Decoupling Capacitor Layouts At least two or three times the width of an individual trace should separate single-ended traces and differential pairs to minimize the potential for crosstalk. Single-ended traces that run in parallel for less than the wavelength of the rise or fall times usually have negligible crosstalk. Increase the spacing between signal paths for long parallel runs to reduce crosstalk. Boards with limited real estate can benefit from the staggered trace layout, as shown in Figure 11-8. Layer 1 Layer 6 Figure 11-8. Staggered Trace Layout This configuration lays out alternating signal traces on different layers. Thus, the horizontal separation between traces can be less than 2 or 3 times the width of individual traces. To ensure continuity in the ground signal path, TI recommends having an adjacent ground via for every signal via, as shown in Figure 11-9. Note that vias create additional capacitance. For example, a typical via has a lumped capacitance effect of 1/2 pF to 1 pF in FR4. Signal Via Signal Trace Uninterrupted Ground Plane Signal Trace Uninterrupted Ground Plane Ground Via Figure 11-9. Ground Via Location (Side View) Short and low-impedance connection of the device ground pins to the PCB ground plane reduces ground bounce. Holes and cutouts in the ground planes can adversely affect current return paths if they create discontinuities that increase returning current loop areas. To minimize EMI problems, TI recommends avoiding discontinuities below a trace (for example, holes, slits, and so on) and keeping traces as short as possible. Zoning the board wisely by placing all similar functions in the same area, as opposed to mixing them together, helps reduce susceptibility issues. 16 Submit Document Feedback Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DS90LV011AH DS90LV011AH www.ti.com SNLS198C – SEPTEMBER 2005 – REVISED JULY 2021 11.2 Layout Example Figure 11-10.
