4-Channel 800 Mbps LVDS Buffer/Repeater
General Description
The DS90LV804 is a four channel 800 Mbps LVDS buffer/
repeater. In many large systems, signals are distributed
across cables and signal integrity is highly dependent on the
data rate, cable type, length, and the termination scheme. In
order to maximize signal integrity, the DS90LV804 features
both an internal input and output (source) termination to elim-
inate these extra components from the board, and to also
place the terminations as close as possible to receiver inputs
and driver output. This is especially significant when driving
longer cables.
The DS90LV804, available in the LLP (Leadless Leadframe
Package) package, minimizes the footprint, and improves
system performance.
An output enable pin is provided, which allows the user to
place the LVDS outputs and internal biasing generators in a
TRI-STATE®, low power mode.
The differential inputs interface to LVDS, and Bus LVDS sig-
nals such as those on National's 10-, 16-, and 18- bit Bus
LVDS SerDes, as well as CML and LVPECL. The differential
inputs are internally terminated with a 100 resistor to im-
prove performance and minimize board space. This function
function is especially useful for boosting signals over lossy
cables or point-to-point backplane configurations.

used as the primary GND connection to the device. The DAP is the exposed metal
contact at the bottom of the LLP-32 package. It should be connected to the ground
plane with at least 4 vias for optimal AC and thermal performance. The pin numbers
listed should also be tied to ground for proper biasing.

Note 2: The LVDS outputs do not support a multidrop (BLVDS) environment. The LVDS output characteristics of the DS90LV804 device have been optimized
for point-to-point backplane and cable applications.

DS90LV804
Feature Descriptions
INTERNAL TERMINATIONS
The DS90LV804 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 DS90LV804 have been op-
timized for point-to-point backplane and cable applications,
and are not intended for multipoint or multidrop signaling.
TRI-STATE MODE
The EN input activates a hardware TRI-STATE mode. When
the TRI-STATE mode is active (EN=L), all input and output
buffers and internal bias circuitry are powered off and dis-
abled. Outputs are tri-stated in TRI-STATE mode. When ex-
iting TRI-STATE mode, there is a delay associated with
turning on bandgap references and input/output buffer circuits
as indicated in the LVDS Output Switching Characteristics
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 DS90LV804 accepts differential signals and allow simple
AC or DC coupling. With a wide common mode range, the
DS90LV804 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 DS90LV804 inputs are internally
terminated with a 100Ω resistor.

OUTPUT INTERFACING
The DS90LV804 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.

Packaging Information
The Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) is a leadframe
based chip scale package (CSP) that may enhance chip
speed, reduce thermal impedance, and reduce the printed
circuit board area required for mounting. The small size and
very low profile make this package ideal for high density PCBs
used in small-scale electronic applications such as cellular
phones, pagers, and handheld PDAs. The LLP package is
offered in the no Pullback configuration. In the no Pullback
configuration the standard solder pads extend and terminate
at the edge of the package. This feature offers a visible solder
fillet after board mounting.
The LLP has the following advantages:
Low thermal resistance
Reduced electrical parasitics
Improved board space efficiency
Reduced package height
Reduced package mass
For more details about LLP packaging technology, refer to
applications note AN-1187, "Leadless Leadframe Package"
