SNx5LVDS3xx High-Speed Differential Line Drivers
1 Features
3 Description
•
This family of 4, 8, and 16 differential line drivers
implements the electrical characteristics of lowvoltage differential signaling (LVDS). This signaling
technique lowers the output voltage levels of 5-V
differential standard levels (such as EIA/TIA-422B) to
reduce the power, increase the switching speeds, and
allow operation with a 3.3-V supply rail. Any of the 16
current-mode drivers will deliver a minimum
differential output voltage magnitude of 247 mV into a
100-Ω load when enabled.

5 Description (Continued)
When disabled, the driver outputs are high-impedance. Each driver input (A) and enable (EN) have an internal
pulldown that will drive the input to a low level when open-circuited.
The SN65LVDS387, SN65LVDS389, and SN65LVDS391 devices are characterized for operation from –40°C to
85°C. The SN75LVDS387, SN75LVDS389, and SN75LVDS391 devices are characterized for operation from 0°C
to 70°C.

10 Detailed Description
10.1 Overview
The SNx5LVDSxx devices are quad-, eight-, and 16-channel LVDS line drivers. They operate from a single
supply that is nominally 3.3 V, but can be as low as 3 V and as high as 3.6 V. The input signals to the
SNx5LVDSxx device are LVTTL signals. The outputs of the device are differential signals complying with the
LVDS standard (TIA/EIA-644A). The differential output signal operates with a signal level of 340 mV, nominally,
at a common-mode voltage of 1.2 V. This low differential output voltage results in a low emitted radiated energy,
which is dependent on the signal slew rate. The differential nature of the output provides immunity to commonmode coupled signals.
The SNx5LVDSxx device is intended to drive a 100-Ω transmission line. This transmission line may be a printedcircuit board (PCB) or cabled interconnect. With transmission lines, the optimum signal quality and power
delivery is reached when the transmission line is terminated with a load equal to the characteristic impedance of
the interconnect. Likewise, the driven 100-Ω transmission line should be terminated with a matched resistance.

10.3 Feature Description
10.3.1 Driver Output Voltage and Power-On Reset
The SNx5LVDSxx driver operates and meets all the specified performance requirements for supply voltages in
the range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V. 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 sets the driver output to a high-impedance state.
10.3.2 5-V Input Tolerance
5-V and 3.3-V TTL logic standards share the same input high-voltage and input low-voltage thresholds, namely
2.0 V and 0.8 V, respectively. Although the maximum supply voltage for the SNx5LVDSxx is 3.6 V, the driver can
operate and meet all performance requirements when the input signals are as high as 5 V. This allows operation
with 3.3-V TTL as well as 5-V TTL logic. 3.3-V CMOS and 5-V CMOS inputs are also allowable, although one
should ensure that the duty-cycle distortion that will result from the TTL (ground-referenced) thresholds are
acceptable.
10.3.3 NC Pins
NC (not connected) pins are pins where the die is not physically connected to the lead frame or package. For
optimum thermal performance, a good rule of thumb is to ground the NC pins at the board level.
10.3.4 Unused Enable Pins
Unused enable pins should be tied to VCC or GND as appropriate.

10.3.5 Driver Equivalent Schematics
The SNx5LVDSxx equivalent output schematic diagrams are shown in Figure 15. The driver input is represented
by a CMOS inverter stage with a 7-V Zener diode. The input stage is high-impedance, and includes an internal
pulldown to ground. If the driver input is left open, the driver input provides a low-level signal to the rest of the
driver circuitry, resulting in a low-level signal at the driver output pins. The Zener diode provides ESD protection.
The driver output stage is a differential pair, one half of which is shown in Figure 15. Like the input stage, the
driver output includes Zener diodes for ESD protection. The schematic shows an output stage that includes a set
of current sources (nominally 3.5 mA) that are connected to the output load circuit based upon the input stage
signal. To the first order, the SNx5LVDSxx output stage acts a constant-current source.

11 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.
11.1 Application Information
The intended application of this device and signaling technique is for point-to-point and multidrop baseband data
transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 100 Ω. The transmission media can be printedcircuit board traces, backplanes, or cables. The large number of drivers integrated into the same substrate, along
with the low pulse skew of balanced signaling, allows extremely precise timing alignment of clock and data for
synchronous parallel data transfers. When used with the companion 16- or 8-channel receivers, the
SN65LVDS386 or SN65LVDS388, over 200 million data transfers per second in single-edge clocked systems are
possible with very little power.
NOTE
The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation
characteristics of the media, the noise coupling to the environment, and other system
characteristics.
11.1.1 Signaling Rate vs Distance
The ultimate data transfer rate over a given cable or trace length involves many variables. Starting with the
capabilities of this LVDS driver to reproduce a data pulse as short as 1.6 ns (a 630-Mbps signaling rate) with less
than 500 ps of pulse distortion, any degradation of this pulse by the transmission media will necessarily reduce
the timing margin at the receiving end of the data link.
The timing uncertainty induced by the transmission media is commonly referred to as jitter and comes from
numerous sources. The characteristics of a particular transmission media can be quantified by using an eye
pattern measurement such as shown in Figure 16, which shows about 340 ps of jitter or 20% of the data pulse
width.

During synchronous parallel transfers, skew between the data and clock lines will also reduce the timing margin.
This should be accounted for in the system timing budget. Fortunately, the low output skew of this LVDS driver
will generally be a small portion of this budget.

Figure 17. Point-to-Point Topology
A point-to-point communications channel has a single transmitter (driver) and a single receiver. This
communications topology is often referred to as simplex. In Figure 17 the driver receives a single-ended input
signal and the receiver outputs a single-ended recovered signal. The LVDS driver converts the single-ended
input to a differential signal for transmission over a balanced interconnecting media of 100-Ω characteristic
impedance. The conversion from a single-ended signal to an LVDS signal retains the digital data payload while
translating to a signal whose features are more appropriate for communication over extended distances or in a
noisy environment.

11.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
11.2.1.2.1 Driver Supply Voltage
The SNx5LVDSxx driver is operated from a single supply. The device can support operation with a supply as low
as 3 V and as high as 3.6 V. The differential output voltage is nominally 340 mV over the complete output range.
The minimum output voltage stays within the specified LVDS limits (247 mV to 454 mV) for the complete 3-V to
3.6-V supply range.
11.2.1.2.2 Driver Bypass Capacitance
Bypass capacitors play a key role in power distribution circuitry. 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 should 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 the following formula
according to Johnson (1), 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 your design. (1)

11.2.1.2.3 Driver Output Voltage
The SNx5LVDSxx driver output is a 1.2-V common-mode voltage, with a nominal differential output signal of 340
mV. This 340 mV is the absolute value of the differential swing (VOD = |V+– V–|). The peak-to-peak differential
voltage is twice this value, or 680 mV.

The physical communication channel between the driver and the receiver may be any balanced paired metal
conductors meeting the requirements of the LVDS standard, the key points which will be included here. This
media may be a twisted pair, twinax, flat ribbon cable, or PCB traces.
The nominal characteristic impedance of the interconnect should be between 100 Ω and 120 Ω with variation no
more than 10% (90 Ω to 132 Ω).
11.2.1.2.5 PCB Transmission Lines
As per SNLA187, Figure 19 depicts several transmission line structures commonly used in printed-circuit boards
(PCBs). Each structure consists of a signal line and a return path with 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 19 shows
examples of edge-coupled microstrips, 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 tightlycoupled 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.

11.2.1.2.6 Termination Resistor
As shown earlier, an LVDS communication channel employs a current source driving a transmission line which is
terminated with a resistive load. 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 located as close as possible to the receiver, thereby minimizing the
stub length from the resistor to the receiver. The limiting case would be to incorporate the termination resistor
into the receiver, which is exactly what is offered with the TI ‘LVDT receivers.
While we talk in this section about point-to-point communications, a word of caution is useful when a multidrop
topology is used. In such topologies, line termination resistors are to be located only at the end(s) of the
transmission line. In such an environment, LVDS receivers could be used for loads branching off the main bus
with an LVDT receiver used only at the bus end.
11.2.1.2.7 Driver NC Pins
NC (not connected) pins are pins where the die is not physically connected to the lead frame or package. For
optimum thermal performance, a good rule of thumb is to ground the NC pins at the board level.

The interconnect in a multidrop system differs considerably from a point-to-point system. While point-to-point
interconnects are straightforward and well understood, the bus type architecture encountered with multidrop
systems requires more careful attention. We will use Figure 21 above to explore these details.

SLLS362G – SEPTEMBER 1999 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
The most basic multidrop system would include a single driver, located at a bus origin, with multiple receiver
nodes branching off the main line, and a final receiver at the end of the transmission line, co-located with a bus
termination resistor. While this would be the most basic multidrop system, it has several considerations not yet
explored.
The location of the transmitter at one bus end allows the design concerns to be simplified, but this comes at the
cost of flexibility. With a transmitter located at the origin, a single bus termination at the far-end is required. The
far-end termination absorbs the incident traveling wave. The flexibility lost with this arrangement is thus: if the
single transmitter needed to be relocated on the bus, at any location other than the origin, we would be faced
with a bus with one open-circuited end, and one properly terminated end. Locating the transmitter say in the
middle of the bus may be desired to reduce (by ½) the maximum flight time from the transmitter to receiver.
Another new feature in Figure 21 is clear in that every node branching off the main line results in stubs. The
stubs should be minimized in any case, but have the unintended effect of locally changing the loaded impedance
of the bus.
To a good approximation, the characteristic transmission line impedance seen into any cut point in the unloaded
multipoint or multidrop bus is defined by √L/C, where L is the inductance per unit length and C is the capacitance
per unit length. As capacitance is added to the bus in the form of devices and interconnections, the bus
characteristic impedance is lowered. This may result in signal reflections from the impedance mismatch between
the unloaded and loaded segments of the bus.
If the number of loads is constant and can be distributed evenly along the line, reflections can be reduced by
changing the bus termination resistors to match the loaded characteristic impedance. Normally, the number of
loads are not constant or distributed evenly and the reflections resulting from any mismatching should be
accounted for in the noise budget.

12 Power Supply Recommendations
The LVDS driver and receivers in this data sheet are designed to operate from a single power supply. Both
drivers and receivers operate with supply voltages in the range of 2.4 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 receiver power supply would be less than |±1 V|. Board-level and local device-level bypass capacitance
should be used and are covered in Driver Bypass Capacitance.
13 Layout
13.1 Layout Guidelines
13.1.1 Microstrip vs Stripline Topologies
As per SLLD009, 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 23.
Figure 23. 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, if possible. The PCB traces allow designers to specify the
necessary tolerances for ZO based on the overall noise budget and reflection allowances. Footnotes 1 (1), 2 (2),
and 3 (3) provide formulas for ZO and tPD for differential and single-ended traces. (1) (2) (3)
Figure 24. Stripline Topology
13.1.2 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 TTL/CMOS 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

Layout Guidelines (continued)
13.1.3 Recommended Stack Layout
Following the choice of dielectrics and design specifications, you should decide how many levels to use in the
stack. To reduce the TTL/CMOS to LVDS crosstalk, it is a good practice to have at least two separate signal
planes as shown in Figure 25.
Layer 1: Routed Plane (LVDS Signals)
Layer 2: Ground Plane
Layer 3: Power Plane
Layer 4: Routed Plane (TTL/CMOS Signals)
Figure 25. 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 26.
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 26. 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; however, 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.
13.1.4 Separation Between Traces
The separation between traces depends on several factors; however, 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 should 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.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
You should exercise caution when using autorouters, because they do not always account for all factors affecting
crosstalk and signal reflection. 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.
13.1.5 Crosstalk and Ground Bounce Minimization
To reduce crosstalk, it is important to provide a return path to high-frequency currents that is as close as possible
to its originating trace. 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.
13.2 Layout Example
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 28.
Layer 1
Layer 6
Figure 28. 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 29. 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.

Figure 29. 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.
