9.2.2.5 Termination Resistor
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 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.
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.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
There are two power supplies in SN65LVDS4, VCC which is the core power supply and VDD which is the output
drive power supply. For proper device operation it is recommended that VCC should be powered up first and
then VDD or VCC applied at the same time as VDD (VCC and VDD tied together). It is also recommended that
VCC should be equal to or less than VDD as shown in Table 3.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
11.1.1 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 27.
Figure 27. 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 28. 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 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
11.1.3 Recommended Stack Layout
Following the choice of dielectrics and design specifications, you must 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 29.

Figure 29. 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 30.

Layer 2: Ground Plane
Layer 3: Power Plane
Layer 4: Ground Plane
Layer 5: Ground Plane
Layer 4: Routed Plane (TTL Signals)
Figure 30. 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.
11.1.4 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 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.

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.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
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 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.
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. Ideally,
via placement is 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.

Figure 32. Low Inductance, High-Capacitance Power Connection
Bypass capacitors should be placed close to VDD pins. They can be placed conveniently near the
underneath the package to minimize the loop area. This extends the useful frequency range of
capacitance. Small-physical-size capacitors, such as 0402 or even 0201, or X7R surface-mount
should be used to minimize body inductance of capacitors. Each bypass capacitor is connected to the
ground plane through vias tangent to the pads of the capacitor as shown in Figure 33(a).
corners or

power and
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 5-1 for some examples. Many high-speed devices provide a low-inductance GND
connection on the backside of the package. This center pad 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 pad 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 25) 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. Multiple paths for heat transfer minimize this possibility. In many cases the GND pad that is so
important for heat dissipation makes the optimal decoupling layout impossible to achieve due to insufficient padto-pad spacing as shown in Figure 33(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.

11.2 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 34.
Layer 1
Layer 6
Figure 34. 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 35. 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 35. 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.
