MAX9110/MAX9112 General Description The MAX9110/MAX9112 single/dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transmitters are designed for high-speed applications requiring minimum power consumption, space, and noise. Both devices support switching rates exceeding 500Mbps while operating from a single +3.3V supply, and feature ultra-low 250ps (max) pulse skew required for high-resolution imaging applications, such as laser printers and digital copiers. The MAX9110 is a single LVDS transmitter, and the MAX9112 is a dual LVDS transmitter. Both devices conform to the EIA/TIA-644 LVDS standard. They accept LVTTL/CMOS inputs and translate them to low-voltage (350mV) differential outputs, minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and power dissipation. These devices use a current-steering output stage, minimizing power consumption, even at high data rates. The MAX9110/MAX9112 are available in space-saving 8-pin SOT23 and SO packages. Refer to the MAX9111/ MAX9113 data sheet for single/dual LVDS line receivers.

These devices accept CMOS/LVTTL inputs with data rates exceeding 500Mbps. The MAX9110/MAX9112 reduce power consumption and EMI by translating these signals to a differential voltage in the 250mV to 450mV range across a 100 load while drawing only 9.4mA of supply current for the dualchannel MAX9112. A current-steering approach induces less ground bounce and no shoot-through current, enhancing noise margin and system speed performance.

Transmitter Propagation Delay and Transition Time Waveforms stage presents a symmetrical, high-impedance output, reducing differential reflection and timing distortion. The driver outputs are short circuit current limited and enter a high-impedance state when the device is not powered. LVDS Operation The LVDS interface standard is a signaling method intended for point-to-point communication over a controlled impedance medium as defined by the EIA/TIA644 LVDS standard. The LVDS standard uses a lower voltage swing than other common communication standards, achieving higher data rates with reduced power consumption while reducing EMI emissions and system susceptibility to noise. LVDS transmitters such as the MAX9110/MAX9112 convert CMOS/LVTTL signals to low-voltage differential signals at rates in excess of 500Mbps. The MAX9110/ MAX9112 current-steering architecture requires a resistive load to terminate the signal and complete the trans6 mission loop. Because the device switches the direction of current flow and not voltage levels, the actual output voltage swing is determined by the value of the termination resistor at the input of an LVDS receiver. Logic states are determined by the direction of current flow through the termination resistor. With a typical 3.5mA output current, the MAX9110/MAX9112 produce an output voltage of 350mV when driving a 100 load. The steady-state-voltage peak-to-peak swing is twice the differential voltage, or 700mV (typ). Applications Information Supply Bypassing Bypass VCC with high-frequency surface-mount ceramic 0.1F and 0.001F capacitors in parallel, as close to the device as possible, with the smaller valued capacitor the closest. For additional supply bypassing, place a 10F tantalum or ceramic capacitor at the point where power enters the circuit board. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Single/Dual LVDS Line Drivers with Ultra-Low Pulse Skew in SOT23 Board Layout For LVDS applications, a four-layer PC board that provides separate power, ground, LVDS signals, and input signals is recommended. Isolate the input and LVDS signals from each other to prevent coupling. Separate the input and LVDS signal planes with the power and ground planes for best results. Maintain the distance between the differential traces to avoid discontinuities in impedance. Avoid 90 turns and minimize the number of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities. Typical Operating Circuit +3.3V +3.3V Cables and Connectors Transmission media should have a differential characteristic impedance of about 100. Use cables and connectors that have matched impedance to minimize impedance discontinuities. Avoid the use of unbalanced cables, such as ribbon or simple coaxial cable. Balanced cables, such as twisted pair, offer superior signal quality and tend to generate less EMI due to canceling effects. Balanced cables tend to pick up noise as common mode, which is rejected by the LVDS receiver. 0.001F DIN_ 0.001F 0.1F RT = 100 DRIVER RECEIVER 0.1F OUT_ LVDS MAX9110 MAX9112 MAX9111 MAX9113 Termination Termination resistors should match the differential characteristic impedance of the transmission line. Because the MAX9110/MAX9112 are current-steering devices, an output voltage will not be generated without a termination resistor. Output voltage levels are dependent upon the termination resistor value. Resistance values may range between 75 and 150. Minimize the distance between the termination resistor and receiver inputs. Use a single 1% to 2% surfacemount resistor across the receiver inputs. Chip Information MAX9110 TRANSISTOR COUNT: 765 MAX9112 TRANSISTOR COUNT: 765 PROCESS: CMOS _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX9110/MAX9112 Differential Traces Output trace characteristics affect the performance of the MAX9110/MAX9112. Use controlled impedance traces to match trace impedance to both transmission medium impedance and termination resistor. Eliminate reflections and ensure that noise couples as common mode by running the differential traces close together. Reduce skew by matching the electrical length of the traces. Excessive skew can result in a degradation of magnetic field cancellation.
