DS25BR150
3.125 Gbps LVDS Buffer
General Description
The DS25BR150 is a single channel 3.125 Gbps LVDS buffer
optimized for high-speed signal transmission over printed cir-
cuit boards and balanced cables. Fully differential signal
paths ensure exceptional signal integrity and noise immunity.
The DS25BR150 is a buffer/repeater with very low power
consumption. Other LVDS devices with similar IO character-
istics and with signal conditioning features include the follow-
ing products. The DS25BR110 features four levels of
equalization for use as an optimized receiver device, the
DS25BR120 features four levels of pre-emphasis for use as
an optimized driver device, while the DS25BR100 features
both pre-emphasis and equalization for use as an optimized
repeater device.
Wide input common mode range allows the receiver to accept
signals with LVDS, CML and LVPECL levels; the output levels
are LVDS. A very small package footprint requires a minimal
space on the board while the flow-through pinout allows easy
board layout. The differential inputs and outputs are internally
terminated with a 100 resistor to lower device input and out-
put return losses, reduce component count, and further min-
imize board space.
Features
DC - 3.125 Gbps low jitter, high noise immunity, low power
operation
On-chip 100 input and output termination minimizes
insertion and return losses, reduces component count and
minimizes board space
7 kV ESD on LVDS I/O pins protects adjoining
components
Small 3 mm x 3 mm LLP-8 space saving package

Device Operation
INPUT INTERFACING
The DS25BR150 accepts differential signals and allows simple AC or DC coupling. With a wide common mode range, the
DS25BR150 can be DC-coupled with all common differential drivers (i.e. LVPECL, LVDS, CML). The following three figures illus-
trate typical DC-coupled interface to common differential drivers. Note that the DS25BR150 inputs are internally terminated with
a 100Ω resistor.

OUTPUT INTERFACING
The DS25BR150 outputs signals are compliant to the LVDS standard. It 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 accomodate LVDS compliant
signals, it is recommended to check respective receiver's data sheet prior to implementing the suggested interface implementation.
