DS90CR215/DS90CR216 +3.3V Rising Edge Data Strobe LVDS
21-Bit Channel Link - 66 MHz
Check for Samples: DS90CR215,DS90CR216
1FEATURES DESCRIPTION
The DS90CR215 transmitter converts 21 bits of
2• Single +3.3V Supply CMOS/TTL data into three LVDS (Low Voltage
• Chipset (Tx + Rx) Power Consumption <250 Differential Signaling) data streams. A phase-locked
mW (typ) transmit clock is transmitted in parallel with the data
• Power-down Mode (<0.5 mW total) streams over a fourth LVDS link. Every cycle of the
transmit clock 21 bits of input data are sampled and
• Up to 173 Megabytes/sec Bandwidth transmitted. The DS90CR216 receiver converts the
• Up to 1.386 Gbps Data Throughput LVDS data streams back into 21 bits of CMOS/TTL
• Narrow Bus Reduces Cable Size data. At a transmit clock frequency of 66 MHz, 21 bits
of TTL data are transmitted at a rate of 462 Mbps per
• 290 mV Swing LVDS Devices for Low EMI LVDS data channel. Using a 66 MHz clock, the data
• +1V Common Mode Range (Around +1.2V) throughput is 1.386 Gbit/s (173 Mbytes/s).
• PLL Requires No External Components The multiplexing of the data lines provides a
• Low Profile 48-Lead TSSOP Package substantial cable reduction. Long distance parallel
• Rising Edge Data Strobe single-ended buses typically require a ground wire
per active signal (and have very limited noise
• Compatible with TIA/EIA-644 LVDS Standard rejection capability). Thus, for a 21-bit wide data and
• ESD Rating > 7 kV one clock, up to 44 conductors are required. With the
• Operating Temperature: −40°C to +85°C Channel Link chipset as few as 9 conductors (3 data
pairs, 1 clock pair and a minimum of one ground) are
needed. This provides a 80% reduction in required
cable width, which provides a system cost savings,
reduces connector physical size and cost, and
reduces shielding requirements due to the cables'
smaller form factor.
The 21 CMOS/TTL inputs can support a variety of
signal combinations. For example, five 4-bit nibbles
plus 1 control, or two 9-bit (byte + parity) and 3
control.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The DS90CR215 and DS90CR216 are backward compatible with the existing 5V Channel Link
transmitter/receiver pair (DS90CR213, DS90CR214). To upgrade from a 5V to a 3.3V system the following must
be addressed:
1. Change 5V power supply to 3.3V. Provide this supply to the VCC, LVDS VCC and PLL V CC.
2. Transmitter input and control inputs except 3.3V TTL/CMOS levels. They are not 5V tolerant.
3. The receiver powerdown feature when enabled wilI lock receiver output to a logic low. However, the 5V/66
MHz receiver maintain the outputs in the previous state when powerdown occurred.

The Channel Link devices are intended to be used in a wide variety of data transmission applications. Depending
upon the application the interconnecting media may vary. For example, for lower data rate (clock rate) and
shorter cable lengths (< 2m), the media electrical performance is less critical. For higher speed/long distance
applications the media's performance becomes more critical. Certain cable constructions provide tighter skew
(matched electrical length between the conductors and pairs). Twin-coax for example, has been demonstrated at
distances as great as 5 meters and with the maximum data transfer of 1.38 Gbit/s. Additional applications
information can be found in the following Interface Application Notes:

CABLES
A cable interface between the transmitter and receiver needs to support the differential LVDS pairs. The 21-bit
CHANNEL LINK chipset (DS90CR215/216) requires four pairs of signal wires and the 28-bit CHANNEL LINK
chipset (DS90CR285/286) requires five pairs of signal wires. The ideal cable/connector interface would have a
constant 100Ωdifferential impedance throughout the path. It is also recommended that cable skew remain below
150 ps (@ 66 MHz clock rate) to maintain a sufficient data sampling window at the receiver.
In addition to the four or five cable pairs that carry data and clock, it is recommended to provide at least one
additional conductor (or pair) which connects ground between the transmitter and receiver. This low impedance
ground provides a common mode return path for the two devices. Some of the more commonly used cable types
for point-to-point applications include flat ribbon, flex, twisted pair and Twin-Coax. All are available in a variety of
configurations and options. Flat ribbon cable, flex and twisted pair generally perform well in short point-to-point
applications while Twin-Coax is good for short and long applications. When using ribbon cable, it is
recommended to place a ground line between each differential pair to act as a barrier to noise coupling between
adjacent pairs. For Twin-Coax cable applications, it is recommended to utilize a shield on each cable pair. All
extended point-to-point applications should also employ an overall shield surrounding all cable pairs regardless
of the cable type. This overall shield results in improved transmission parameters such as faster attainable
speeds, longer distances between transmitter and receiver and reduced problems associated with EMS or EMI.
The high-speed transport of LVDS signals has been demonstrated on several types of cables with excellent
results. However, the best overall performance has been seen when using Twin-Coax cable. Twin-Coax has very
low cable skew and EMI due to its construction and double shielding. All of the design considerations discussed
here and listed in the supplemental application notes provide the subsystem communications designer with many
useful guidelines. It is recommended that the designer assess the tradeoffs of each application thoroughly to
arrive at a reliable and economical cable solution.
BOARD LAYOUT
To obtain the maximum benefit from the noise and EMI reductions of LVDS, attention should be paid to the
layout of differential lines. Lines of a differential pair should always be adjacent to eliminate noise interference
from other signals and take full advantage of the noise canceling of the differential signals. The board designer
should also try to maintain equal length on signal traces for a given differential pair. As with any high speed
design, the impedance discontinuities should be limited (reduce the numbers of vias and no 90 degree angles on
traces). Any discontinuities which do occur on one signal line should be mirrored in the other line of the
differential pair. Care should be taken to ensure that the differential trace impedance match the differential
impedance of the selected physical media (this impedance should also match the value of the termination
resistor that is connected across the differential pair at the receiver's input). Finally, the location of the CHANNEL
LINK TxOUT/RxIN pins should be as close as possible to the board edge so as to eliminate excessive pcb runs.
All of these considerations will limit reflections and crosstalk which adversely effect high frequency performance
and EMI.
UNUSED INPUTS
All unused inputs at the TxIN inputs of the transmitter must be tied to ground. All unused outputs at the RxOUT
outputs of the receiver must then be left floating.

TERMINATION
Use of current mode drivers requires a terminating resistor across the receiver inputs. The CHANNEL LINK
chipset will normally require a single 100Ωresistor between the true and complement lines on each differential
pair of the receiver input. The actual value of the termination resistor should be selected to match the differential
mode characteristic impedance (90Ωto 120Ωtypical) of the cable. Figure 23 shows an example. No additional
pull-up or pull-down resistors are necessary as with some other differential technologies such as PECL. Surface
mount resistors are recommended to avoid the additional inductance that accompanies leaded resistors. These
resistors should be placed as close as possible to the receiver input pins to reduce stubs and effectively
terminate the differential lines.
Figure 23. LVDS Serialized Link Termination
DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
Bypassing capacitors are needed to reduce the impact of switching noise which could limit performance. For a
conservative approach three parallel-connected decoupling capacitors (Multi-Layered Ceramic type in surface
mount form factor) between each VCC and the ground plane(s) are recommended. The three capacitor values are
0.1 μF, 0.01μF and 0.001 μF. An example is shown in Figure 24. The designer should employ wide traces for
power and ground and ensure each capacitor has its own via to the ground plane. If board space is limiting the
number of bypass capacitors, the PLL VCC should receive the most filtering/bypassing. Next would be the LVDS
VCC pins and finally the logic VCC pins.
Figure 24. CHANNEL LINK
Decoupling Configuration
CLOCK JITTER
The CHANNEL LINK devices employ a PLL to generate and recover the clock transmitted across the LVDS
interface. The width of each bit in the serialized LVDS data stream is one-seventh the clock period. For example,
a 66 MHz clock has a period of 15 ns which results in a data bit width of 2.16 ns. Differential skew (Δt within one
differential pair), interconnect skew (Δt of one differential pair to another) and clock jitter will all reduce the
available window for sampling the LVDS serial data streams. Care must be taken to ensure that the clock input
to the transmitter be a clean low noise signal. Individual bypassing of each VCC to ground will minimize the noise
passed on to the PLL, thus creating a low jitter LVDS clock. These measures provide more margin for channel-
to-channel skew and interconnect skew as a part of the overall jitter/skew budget.

The typical signal swing for LVDS is 300 mV centered at +1.2V. The CHANNEL LINK receiver supports a 100
mV threshold therefore providing approximately 200 mV of differential noise margin. Common mode protection is
of more importance to the system's operation due to the differential data transmission. LVDS supports an input
voltage range of Ground to +2.4V. This allows for a ±1.0V shifting of the center point due to ground potential
differences and common mode noise.
POWER SEQUENCING AND POWERDOWN MODE
Outputs of the CNANNEL LINK transmitter remain in TRI-STATE until the power supply reaches 2V. Clock and
data outputs will begin to toggle 10 ms after VCC has reached 3V and the Powerdown pin is above 1.5V. Either
device may be placed into a powerdown mode at any time by asserting the Powerdown pin (active low). Total
power dissipation for each device will decrease to 5 μW (typical).
The CHANNEL LINK chipset is designed to protect itself from accidental loss of power to either the transmitter or
receiver. If power to the transmit board is lost, the receiver clocks (input and output) stop. The data outputs
(RxOUT) retain the states they were in when the clocks stopped. When the receiver board loses power, the
receiver inputs are shorted to V CC through an internal diode. Current is limited (5 mA per input) by the fixed
current mode drivers, thus avoiding the potential for latchup when powering the device.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
