DS90LV027AQ
Automotive LVDS Dual Differential Driver
General Description
The DS90LV027AQ is a dual LVDS driver device optimized
for high data rate and low power applications. The device is
designed to support data rates in excess of 600Mbps
(300MHz) utilizing Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)
technology. The DS90LV027AQ is a current mode driver al-
lowing power dissipation to remain low even at high frequen-
cy. In addition, the short circuit fault current is also minimized.
The device is in a 8-lead small outline package. The
DS90LV027AQ has a flow-through design for easy PCB lay-
out. The differential driver outputs provides low EMI with its
typical low output swing of 360 mV. It is perfect for high speed
transfer of clock and data. The DS90LV027AQ can be paired
with its companion dual line receiver, the DS90LV028AQ, or
with any of National's LVDS receivers, to provide a high-
speed point-to-point LVDS interface.

Note 4: Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” specifies conditions of device operation.
Note 5: Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are referenced to ground except VOD.
Note 6: All typicals are given for: VCC = +3.3V and TA = +25°C.
Note 7: These parameters are guaranteed by design. The limits are based on statistical analysis of the device over PVT (process, voltage, temperature) ranges.
Note 8: CL includes probe and fixture capacitance.
Note 9: Generator waveform for all tests unless otherwise specified: f = 1 MHz, ZO = 50Ω, tr 1 ns, tf 1 ns (10%-90%).
Note 10: The DS90LV027AQ is a current mode device and only function with datasheet specification when a resistive load is applied to the drivers outputs.
Note 11: tSKD1, |tPHLD − tPLHD|, is the magnitude difference in differential propagation delay time between the positive going edge and the negative going edge of
the same channel.
Note 12: tSKD2 is the Differential Channel to Channel Skew of any event on the same device.
Note 13: tSKD3, Differential Part to Part Skew, is defined as the difference between the minimum and maximum specified differential propagation delays. This
specification applies to devices at the same VCC and within 5°C of each other within the operating temperature range.
Note 14: tSKD4, part to part skew, is the differential channel to channel skew of any event between devices. This specification applies to devices over recommended
operating temperature and voltage ranges, and across process distribution. tSKD4 is defined as |Max − Min| differential propagation delay.
Note 15: fMAX generator input conditions: tr = tf < 1 ns (0% to 100%), 50% duty cycle, 0V to 3V. Output criteria: duty cycle = 45%/55%, VOD > 250mV, all channels
switching.
