Parameter Measurement Information
Typical Application
Applications Information
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used
in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as is shown
in Figure 3. This configuration provides a clean signaling
environment for the quick 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 100. A termina-
tion resistor of 100should be selected to match the media,
and is located as close to the receiver input pins as possible.
The termination resistor converts the current sourced by the
driver into a voltage that is detected by the receiver. Other
configurations are possible such as a multi-receiver configu-
ration, 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 DS90C402 differential line receiver is capable of detect-
ing 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 ef-
fects of coupled noise, or a combination of the two. Both
receiver input pins should honor their specified operating
input voltage range of 0V to +2.4V (measured from each pin
to ground), exceeding these limits may turn on the ESD
protection circuitry which will clamp the bus voltages.
Fail-Safe Feature:
The LVDS receiver is a high gain, high speed device that
amplifies a small differential signal (20mV) to CMOS logic
levels. Due to the high gain and tight threshold of the re-
ceiver, care should be taken to prevent noise from appearing
as a valid signal.
The receiver’s internal fail-safe circuitry is designed to
source/sink a small amount of current, providing fail-safe
protection (a stable known state HIGH output voltage) for
floating, terminated or shorted receiver inputs.

Applications Information (Continued)
1. Open Input Pins. The DS90C402 is a dual receiver
device, and if an application requires only one receiver,
the unused channel(s) inputs should be left OPEN. Do
not tie unused receiver inputs to ground or any other
voltages. The input is biased by internal high value pull
up and pull down resistors to set the output to a HIGH
state. This internal circuitry will guarantee a HIGH,
stable output state for open inputs.
2. Terminated Input. If the driver is disconnected (cable
unplugged), or if the driver is in a power-off condition,
the receiver output will again be in a HIGH state, even
with the end of cable 100termination resistor across
the input pins. The unplugged cable can become a
floating antenna which can pick up noise. If the cable
picks up more than 10mV of differential noise, the re-
ceiver may see the noise as a valid signal and switch. To
insure that any noise is seen as common-mode and not
differential, a balanced interconnect should be used.
Twisted pair cable will offer better balance than flat
ribbon cable
3. Shorted Inputs. If a fault condition occurs that shorts
the receiver inputs together, thus resulting in a 0V differ-
ential input voltage, the receiver output will remain in a
HIGH state. Shorted input fail-safe is not supported
across the common-mode range of the device (GND to
2.4V). It is only supported with inputs shorted and no
external common-mode voltage applied.
