•
•
•
•
•
Serial Peripheral Interface™ (SPI) over LVDS
allows long interconnects between master and
slave
Board-to-board communication
Test and measurement
Motor drives
LED video walls
Wireless infrastructure
Telecom infrastructure
Rack servers
The SN65LVDT14 and SN65LVDT41 provide
general-purpose,
asymmetric,
bidirectional
communication with the added benefit of high noise
immunity, low electromagnetic interference (EMI),
and increased cable length through the use of LVDS
lines. The SN65LVDT14 and SN65LVDT41 are
primarily used for SPI over LVDS applications.
The SN65LVDT14 combines one LVDS line driver
with four terminated LVDS line receivers in one
package. The SN65LVDT14 can be used to extend
asymmetric, bidirectional interfaces such as SPI over
long distances, and should be located at the SPI
slave.
The SN65LVDT41 combines four LVDS line drivers
with a single terminated LVDS line receiver in one
package. The SN65LVDT41 can be used to extend
asymmetric, bidirectional interfaces such as SPI over
long distances, and should be located at the SPI
master.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The SN65LVDTxx integrates both low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) line drivers, with a balanced current
source design, and LVDS line receivers into a single package. This device operates from a single supply that is
nominally 3.3 V, but the supply can be as low as 3 V and as high as 3.6 V. The input to the SN65LVDTxx LVDS
drivers is a LVCMOS/LVTTL signal, and the output is a differential signal complying with the LVDS standard
(TIA/EIA-644). The input to the SN65LVDTxx LVDS receivers is a differential signal complying with the LVDS
Standard (TIA/EIA-644), and the output is a 3.3-V LVCMOS/LVTTL signal. The differential output signal of the
SN65LVDTxx LVDS line drivers 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 input
signal of the SN65LVDTxx LVDS line receivers operates with a signal level of 350 mV, nominally, at a commonmode voltage of 1.2 V. The differential nature of the LVDS outputs and inputs can provide immunity to commonmode coupled signals (noise) that the driven/received signal may experience, along with a low EMI solution.
The SN65LVDTxx can be used to extend asymmetric bidirectional interface buses. The SN65LVDT41 combines
four LVDS line drivers with a single terminated LVDS line receiver in one package, and the SN65LVDT14
combines one LVDS line driver with four terminated LVDS line receivers in one package. The SN65LVDTxx can
be used to extend asymmetric bidirectional interface buses, such as Serial peripheral interface (SPI) over LVDS,
to achieve long-distance and low-cost SPI communication.
The SN65LVDTxx is primarily used in point-to-point configurations, as seen in Figure 19. This configuration
provides a clean signaling environment for the fast edge rates of the SN65LVDTxx and other LVDS components.
The SN65LVDTxx should be connected through a balanced media, which could 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 SN65LVDTxx 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.

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. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The SN65LVDTxx devices are multi-channel LVDS driver and receiver pairs. The functionality of this device is
simple yet extremely flexible, leading to its use in designs ranging from test and measurement to LED video wall.
The varied class of potential applications share features and applications discussed in the paragraphs below.
9.1.1 Extending a Serial Peripheral Interface Using LVDS Signaling Over Differential Transmission
Cables
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is found in numerous applications as the communication method between
processor and peripheral devices using single-ended signals over short distances. However, there is increasing
demand for longer range SPI communication on the same PCB or from board to board. As distance increases,
external noise, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) with single-ended SPI signals becomes an issue.
Furthermore, increased distance limits the data rate due to propagation delay, and affects the signal quality due
to potential ground shift between boards. A long distance SPI communication is achievable with the help of
LVDS. LVDS, as specified by the TIA/EIA-644-A standard, provides several benefits when compared to
alternative long-distance signaling technologies: low EMI, high noise immunity, low power consumption, and
inexpensive interconnect cables.
SPI operates in a master-slave architecture, with four unidirectional signal lines. The master supplies data named
Master-Out-Slave-In (MOSI), a clock (SCK), and a optional Chip Select (CS) signal to control the operation of the
system with multiple slave devices. The MOSI,SCLK, and CS signals are unidirectional from the master device to
slave devices. The serial data from slave to master device is a unidirectional signal named Master-In-Slave-Out
(MISO). The flow of data can be seen in Figure 18.
SN65LVDT14 and SN65LVDT41 provide the necessary LVDS drivers and receivers specifically targeted at
implementing a long distance SPI application. It uses the unidrectional links for the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and CS
signals and converts the single-ended data into a unidirectional LVDS links.SN65LVDT41 combines four LVDS
line drivers with a single terminated LVDS line receiver in one package should be located at the SPI master
device. SN65LVDT14 combines one LVDS line driver with four terminated LVDS line receivers in one package
and should be located at the SPI device.

9.2 Typical Application
Point-to-Point applications provide a clean signaling environment for the fast edge rates of the SN65LVDTxx and
other LVDS components. The SN65LVDTxx 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 SN65LVDTxx device is intended to drive a 100Ω 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.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 SPI Propagation Delay Limitations
In typical SPI communication, the SPI master decides the sampling rate and data transfer rate, sends data at the
rising edge of one clock cycle, and receives data on the falling edge within the same clock cycle. In a low latency
system, the data in peripheral device should be made available to the host system with minimum delay. However
in systems with high latency, the total round trip propagation delay of the SPI system must be less than half the
SCLK period to avoid missing bits. There are three major delay contributors in a typical system—the SPI
peripheral, data link device, and transmission media. Both the SPI peripheral and the data link device have fixed
delay. The delay in transmission media, however, increases as communication distance increases. The
relationship between cable length and SPI clock frequency can be seen in Figure 22. Figure 22 refers to a
system where both MISO and MOSI are used, accounting for the case of slave-to-mater data transmission,
including roundtrip delay. The specific setup is described in Extending SPI and McBSP with differential interface
products (SLLA142)

9.2.2.2 Interconnecting Media
The physical communication channel between the LVDS driver and the LVDS receiver may be any balanced and
paired metal conductors meeting the requirements of the LVDS standard, the key points of which are included
here. This media may be shielded twisted-pair cables, twinax cables, flat ribbon cables, 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). Balanced cables (for example, twisted-pair) are usually better than
unbalanced cables (like ribbon and simple coax cables) 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. There should not introduce major
impedance discontinuities in the system.
9.2.2.3 Input Fail-Safe Biasing
External pullup and pulldown resistors may be used to provide enough of an offset to enable an input fail-safe
under open-circuit conditions. This configuration ties the positive LVDS input pin to VDD through a pullup resistor
and the negative LVDS input pin is tied to GND by a pulldown resistor. The pullup and pulldown resistors should
be in the 5-kΩ to 15-kΩ range to minimize loading and waveform distortion to the driver. The common-mode bias
point should be set to approximately 1.2 V (less than 1.75 V) to be compatible with the internal circuitry. Refer to
application note AN-1194 Fail-safe biasing of LVDS interfaces (SNLA051) for more information.
9.2.2.4 Power Decoupling Recommendations
Bypass capacitors must be used on power pins. Use high-frequency, ceramic (surface mount is recommended),
0.1-μF and 0.001-μF capacitors in parallel at the power supply pin with the smallest value capacitor closest to the
device supply pin.
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 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 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 the design. (1)

Figure 20 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.

9.2.2.5 PCB Transmission Lines
As per the LVDS owner's manual design guide, 4th edition (SNLA187), Figure 21 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 21 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 (like if S is less than 2 W, for example), 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.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The SN65LVDTxx devices are designed to operate from a single power supply with a supply voltage range of 3
V to 3.6 V. In a typical point-to-point 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.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
11.1.1 Microstrip vs. Stripline Topologies
As per the LVDS application and data handbook (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 when possible. The PCB traces allow designers to specify
the necessary tolerances for ZO based on the overall noise budget and reflection allowances. Footnotes 1 (2), 2 (3),
and 3 (4) provide formulas for ZO and tPD for differential and single-ended traces. (2) (3) (4)

Layout Guidelines (continued)
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 an 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, may be desired. 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, the designer must decide how many levels to use in
the stack. To reduce the LVCMOS/LVTTL to LVDS crosstalk, it is 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, 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.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
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.

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.
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 that the user place 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.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
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 29(a).

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 21 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 21) 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 dap that is so
important for heat dissipation makes the optimal decoupling layout impossible to achieve due to insufficient padto-dap spacing as shown in Figure 29(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.

Figure 29. 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 30.
Layer 1
Layer 6
Figure 30. 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 31. 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.

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.
