APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PCB LAYOUT
The ADN4654/ADN4655/ADN4656 can operate with high
speed LVDS signals up to 0.55 GHz clock, or 1.1 Gbps nonreturn to
zero (NRZ) data. When operating with such high frequencies,
apply best practices for the LVDS trace layout and termination.
Place a 100 Ω termination resistor as close as possible to the
receiver, across the DINx+ and DINx− pins.
Controlled 50 Ω impedance traces are needed on LVDS signal
lines for full signal integrity, reduced system jitter, and minimizing
electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the PCB. Trace widths,
lateral distance within each pair, and distance to the ground plane
underneath all must be chosen appropriately. Via fencing to the
PCB ground between pairs is also a best practice to minimize
crosstalk between adjacent pairs.
The ADN4654/ADN4655/ADN4656 pass EN 55022 Class B
emissions limits without extra considerations required for the
isolator when operating with up to 1.1 Gbps PRBS data. When
isolating high speed clocks (for example, 0.55 GHz), a reduced
PCB clearance (isolation gap) may be required with the 20-lead
SOIC_W model to reduce dipole antenna effects and provide
sufficient margin below Class B emissions limits.
The best practice for high speed PCB design avoids any other
emissions from PCBs in applications that use the ADN4654/
ADN4655/ADN4656. Take care when configuring off-board
connections, where switching transients from high speed LVDS
signals (clocks in particular) can conduct onto cabling, resulting
in radiated emissions. Use common-mode chokes, ferrites, or
other filters as appropriate at the LVDS connectors, as well as
cable shield or PCB ground connections to earth or chassis.
The ADN4654/ADN4655/ADN4656 require appropriate
decoupling of the VDDx pins with 100 nF capacitors. If the
integrated LDO regulator is not used, and a 2.5 V supply is
connected directly, connect the appropriate VINx pin to the supply
as well, as shown in Figure 40, using the ADN4654 as an
example.

When the integrated LDO regulator is used, bypass capacitors
of 1 µF are required on the VINx pins and on the nearest VDDx
pins (LDO output), as shown in Figure 41.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
High speed LVDS interfaces for the analog front-end (AFE),
processor to processor communication, or video and imaging data
can be isolated using the ADN4654, as an example, between
components, between boards, or at a cable interface. The ADN4654
provides the galvanic isolation required for robust external ports,
and the low jitter and high drive strength of the device allow
communication along short cable runs of a few meters. High
common-mode immunity ensures communication integrity
even in harsh, noisy environments, and isolation can protect
against electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) transients up to
±8 kV peak, such as ESD, electrical fast transient (EFT), and
surge. The ADN4654 can isolate a range of video and imaging
protocols, including protocols that use current mode logic
(CML) rather than LVDS for the physical layer. One example is
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), where
ac coupling and biasing and termination resistor networks are
used as shown in Figure 42 to convert between CML (used by
the transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) data
and clock lanes) and the LVDS levels required by the ADN4654.
Additional Analog Devices isolator components, such as the
ADuM1250/ADuM1251 I2C isolators, can be used to isolate
control signals and power (ADuM5020 isoPower integrated,
isolated dc-to-dc converter). This circuit supports resolutions
up to 720p.
Other circuits can use the ADN4654 for isolating MIPI CSI-2,
DisplayPort, and LVDS-based protocols such as FPD-Link. Use
of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application-
specific integrated circuit (ASIC) serializer/deserializer (SERDES)
expands bandwidth through multiple ADN4654 devices to
support 1080p or 4K video resolutions, providing an alternative
to short reach fiber links.
