4-Channel LVDS Buffer/Repeater with Pre-Emphasis
General Description
The DS90LV004 is a four channel 1.5 Gbps LVDS buffer/re-
peater. High speed data paths and flow-through pinout mini-
mize internal device jitter and simplify board layout, while
configurable pre-emphasis overcomes ISI jitter effects from
lossy backplanes and cables. The differential inputs interface
to LVDS, and Bus LVDS signals such as those on National's
10-, 16-, and 18- bit Bus LVDS SerDes, as well as CML and
LVPECL. The differential inputs and outputs are internally
terminated with a 100 resistor to improve performance and
minimize board space. The repeater function is especially
useful for boosting signals for longer distance transmission
over lossy cables and backplanes.

DS90LV004
Feature Descriptions
INTERNAL TERMINATIONS
The DS90LV004 has integrated termination resistors on both
the input and outputs. The inputs have a 100 resistor across
the differential pair, placing the receiver termination as close
as possible to the input stage of the device. The LVDS outputs
also contain an integrated 100 ohm termination resistor, this
resistor is used to reduce the effects of Near End Crosstalk
(NEXT) and does not take the place of the 100 ohm termina-
tion at the inputs to the receiving device. The integrated
terminations improve signal integrity and decrease the exter-
nal component count resulting in space savings.
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
The output characteristics of the DS90LV004 have been op-
timized for point-to-point backplane and cable applications,
and are not intended for multipoint or multidrop signaling.
POWERDOWN MODE
The PWDN input activates a hardware powerdown mode.
When the powerdown mode is active (PWDN=L), all input and
output buffers and internal bias circuitry are powered off and
disabled. Outputs are tri-stated in powerdown mode. When
exiting powerdown mode, there is a delay associated with
turning on bandgap references and input/output buffer circuits
as indicated in the LVDS Output Switching Characteristics
PRE-EMPHASIS
Pre-emphasis dramatically reduces ISI jitter from long or
lossy transmission media. Two pins are used to select the pre-
emphasis level for all outputs: off, low, medium, or high.
Pre-Emphasis Control Selection Table
PEM1 PEM0 Pre-Emphasis
0 0 Off
0 1 Low
1 0 Medium
1 1 High
INPUT FAILSAFE BIASING
External pull up and pull down resistors may be used to pro-
vide enough of an offset to enable an input failsafe under
open-circuit conditions. This configuration ties the positive
LVDS input pin to VDD thru a pull up resistor and the negative
LVDS input pin is tied to GND by a pull down resistor. The pull
up and pull down resistors should be in the 5k to 15k range
to minimize loading and waveform distortion to the driver. The
common-mode bias point ideally should be set to approxi-
mately 1.2V (less than 1.75V) to be compatible with the
internal circuitry. Please refer to application note AN-1194
“Failsafe Biasing of LVDS Interfaces” for more information.

INPUT INTERFACING
The DS90LV004 accepts differential signals and allow simple
AC or DC coupling. With a wide common mode range, the
DS90LV004 can be DC-coupled with all common differential
drivers (i.e. LVPECL, LVDS, CML). The following three fig-
ures illustrate typical DC-coupled interface to common differ-
ential drivers. Note that the DS90LV004 inputs are internally
terminated with a 100Ω resistor.

OUTPUT INTERFACING
The DS90LV004 outputs signals that are compliant to the
LVDS standard. Their outputs can be DC-coupled to most
common differential receivers. The following figure illustrates
typical DC-coupled interface to common differential receivers
and assumes that the receivers have high impedance inputs.
While most differential receivers have a common mode input
range that can accommodate LVDS compliant signals, it is
recommended to check respective receiver's data sheet prior
to implementing the suggested interface implementation.
