3 Description
The DS90LV048A device is a quad CMOS flow-
through differential line receiver designed for
applications requiring ultra-low power dissipation and
high data rates. The device is designed to support
data rates in excess of 400 Mbps (200 MHz) using
Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)
technology.
The DS90LV048A accepts low voltage (350 mV
typical) differential input signals and translates them
to 3-V CMOS output levels. The receiver supports a
TRI-STATE function that may be used to multiplex
outputs. The receiver also supports open, shorted,
and terminated (100-Ω) input fail-safe. The receiver
output is HIGH for all fail-safe conditions. The
DS90LV048A has a flow-through pinout for easy PCB
layout.
The EN and EN* inputs are ANDed together and
control the TRI-STATE outputs. The enables are
common to all four receivers. The DS90LV048A and
companion LVDS line driver (for example,
DS90LV047A) provide a new alternative to high-
power PECL/ECL devices for high-speed point-to-
point interface applications.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as
shown in Figure 19. This configuration provides a clean signaling environment for the fast edge rates of the
drivers. The receiver is connected to the driver through a balanced media which may be a standard twisted pair
cable, a parallel pair cable, or simply PCB traces. Typically, the characteristic impedance of the media is in the
range of 100 Ω. A termination resistor of 100 Ω(selected to match the media) is located as close to the receiver
input pins as possible. The termination resistor converts the driver output (current mode) into a voltage that is
detected by the receiver. Other configurations are possible such as a multi-receiver configuration, but the effects
of a mid-stream connector(s), cable stub(s), and other impedance discontinuities as well as ground shifting, noise
margin limits, and total termination loading must be considered.
The DS90LV048A differential line receiver is capable of detecting signals as low as 100 mV, over a ±1-V
common-mode range centered around +1.2 V. This is related to the driver offset voltage which is typically +1.2 V.
The driven signal is centered around this voltage and may shift ±1 V around this center point. The ±1-V shifting
may be the result of a ground potential difference between the ground reference of the driver and the ground
reference of the receiver, the common-mode effects of coupled noise, or a combination of the two. The AC
parameters of both receiver input pins are optimized for a recommended operating input voltage range of 0 V to
+2.4 V (measured from each pin to ground). The device operates for receiver input voltages up to VCC, but
exceeding VCC turns on the ESD protection circuitry, which clamps the bus voltages.
The DS90LV048A has a flow-through pinout that allows for easy PCB layout. The LVDS signals on one side of
the device easily allows for matching electrical lengths of the differential pair trace lines between the driver and
the receiver as well as allowing the trace lines to be close together to couple noise as common-mode. Noise
isolation is achieved with the LVDS signals on one side of the device and the TTL signals on the other side.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Fail-Safe Feature
The LVDS receiver is a high-gain, high-speed device that amplifies a small differential signal (20 mV) to CMOS
logic levels. Due to the high gain and tight threshold of the receiver, take care to prevent noise from appearing as
a valid signal.
The internal fail-safe circuitry of the receiver is designed to source or sink a small amount of current, providing
fail-safe protection (a stable known state of HIGH output voltage) for floating, terminated or shorted receiver
inputs.
1. Open Input Pins. The DS90LV048A is a quad receiver device, and if an application requires only 1, 2, or 3
receivers, the unused channel(s) inputs must be left OPEN. Do not tie unused receiver inputs to ground or
any other voltages. The input is biased by internal high value pullup and pulldown resistors to set the output
to a HIGH state. This internal circuitry ensures a HIGH, stable output state for open inputs.
2. Terminated Input. If the driver is disconnected (cable unplugged), or if the driver is in a TRI-STATE or
power-off condition, the receiver output is again in a HIGH state, even with the end of cable 100-Ω
termination resistor across the input pins. The unplugged cable can become a floating antenna which can
pick up noise. If the cable picks up more than 10 mV of differential noise, the receiver may see the noise as
a valid signal and switch. To ensure that any noise is seen as common-mode and not differential, a balanced
interconnect should be used. Twisted pair cable offers better balance than flat ribbon cable.
3. Shorted Inputs. If a fault condition occurs that shorts the receiver inputs together, thus resulting in a 0-V
differential input voltage, the receiver output remains in a HIGH state. Shorted input fail-safe is not supported
across the common-mode range of the device (GND to 2.4 V). It is only supported with inputs shorted and no
external common-mode voltage applied.
External lower value pullup and pulldown resistors (for a stronger bias) may be used to boost fail-safe in the
presence of higher noise levels. The pullup and pulldown resistors must be in the 5-kΩto 15-kΩrange to
minimize loading and waveform distortion to the driver. The common-mode bias point must be set to
approximately 1.2 V (less than 1.75 V) to be compatible with the internal circuitry.
Additional information on fail-safe biasing of LVDS devices may be found in AN-1194 Failsafe Biasing of LVDS
Interfaces (SNLA051).

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The DS90LV048A has a flow-through pinout that allows for easy PCB layout. The LVDS signals on one side of
the device easily allows for matching electrical lengths of the differential pair trace lines between the driver and
the receiver as well as allowing the trace lines to be close together to couple noise as common-mode. Noise
isolation is achieved with the LVDS signals on one side of the device and the TTL signals on the other side.
9.2 Typical Application
Figure 19. Balanced System Point-to-Point Application
9.2.1 Design Requirements
When using LVDS devices, it is important to remember to specify controlled impedance PCB traces, cable
assemblies, and connectors. All components of the transmission media must have a matched differential
impedance of about 100 Ω. They must not introduce major impedance discontinuities.
Balanced cables (for example, twisted pair) are usually better than unbalanced cables (ribbon cable) for noise
reduction and signal quality. Balanced cables tend to generate less EMI due to field canceling effects and also
tend to pick up electromagnetic radiation as common-mode (not differential mode) noise which is rejected by the
LVDS receiver.
For cable distances < 0.5 M, most cables can be made to work effectively. For distances 0.5 M ≤d≤10 M,
CAT5 (Category 5) twisted pair cable works well, is readily available, and relatively inexpensive.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Probing LVDS Transmission Lines
Always use high impedance (> 100kΩ), low capacitance (< 2 pF) scope probes with a wide bandwidth (1 GHz)
scope. Improper probing gives deceiving results.
9.2.2.2 Threshold
The LVDS Standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-644) specifies a maximum threshold of ±100 mV for the LVDS receiver. The
DS90LV048A supports an enhanced threshold region of −100 mV to 0 V. This is useful for fail-safe biasing. The
threshold region is shown in the Voltage Transfer Curve (VTC) in Figure 20. The typical DS90LV048A LVDS
receiver switches at about −35 mV.
NOTE
With VID = 0 V, the output is in a HIGH state. With an external fail-safe bias of +25 mV
applied, the typical differential noise margin is now the difference from the switch point to
the bias point.
In the following example, this would be 60 mV of Differential Noise Margin (+25 mV −(−35 mV)). With the
enhanced threshold region of −100 mV to 0 V, this small external fail-safe biasing of +25 mV (with respect to

Typical Application (continued)
0 V) gives a DNM of a comfortable 60 mV. With the standard threshold region of ±100 mV, the external fail-safe
biasing would need to be +25 mV with respect to +100 mV or +125 mV, giving a DNM of 160 mV which is
stronger fail-safe biasing than is necessary for the DS90LV048A. If more DNM is required, then a stronger fail-
safe bias point can be set by changing resistor values.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Although the DS90LV047A draws very little power while at rest, its overall power consumption increases due to a
dynamic current component. The DS90LV048A power supply connection must take this additional current
consumption into consideration for maximum power requirements.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
• Use at least 4 PCB layers (top to bottom): LVDS signals, ground, power, and TTL signals.
• Isolate TTL signals from LVDS signals, otherwise the TTL may couple onto the LVDS lines. Best practice is to
put TTL and LVDS signals on different layers which are isolated by a power/ground plane(s).
• Keep drivers and receivers as close to the (LVDS port side) connectors as possible.
11.1.1 Power Decoupling Recommendations
Bypass capacitors must be used on power pins. Use high-frequency ceramic (surface mount is recommended)
0.1-μF and 0.001-μF capacitors in parallel at the power supply pin with the smallest value capacitor closest to the
device supply pin. Additional scattered capacitors over the printed-circuit board improves decoupling. Multiple
vias must be used to connect the decoupling capacitors to the power planes. A 10-μF (35-V) or greater solid
tantalum capacitor must be connected at the power entry point on the printed-circuit board between the supply
and ground.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
11.1.2 Differential Traces
Use controlled impedance traces that match the differential impedance of your transmission medium (that is,
cable) and termination resistor. Run the differential pair trace lines as close together as possible as soon as they
leave the IC (stubs must be < 10 mm long). This helps eliminate reflections and ensure noise is coupled as
common-mode. In fact, we have seen that differential signals which are 1 mm apart radiate far less noise than
traces 3 mm apart because magnetic field cancellation is much better with the closer traces. In addition, noise
induced on the differential lines is much more likely to appear as common-mode which is rejected by the
receiver.
Match electrical lengths between traces to reduce skew. Skew between the signals of a pair means a phase
difference between signals, which destroys the magnetic field cancellation benefits of differential signals and
EMI, results. Remember the velocity of propagation, v = c/Er where c (the speed of light) = 0.2997 mm/ps or
0.0118 in/ps.
Do not rely solely on the autoroute function for differential traces. Carefully review dimensions to match
differential impedance and provide isolation for the differential lines. Minimize the number or vias and other
discontinuities on the line.
Avoid 90° turns (these cause impedance discontinuities). Use arcs or 45° bevels.
Within a pair of traces, the distance between the two traces should be minimized to maintain common-mode
rejection of the receivers. On the printed-circuit board, this distance must remain constant to avoid discontinuities
in differential impedance. Minor violations at connection points are allowable.
11.1.3 Termination
Use a termination resistor that best matches the differential impedance or your transmission line. The resistor
must be between 90 Ωand 130 Ω. Remember that the current mode outputs need the termination resistor to
generate the differential voltage. LVDS does not work without resistor termination. Typically, connecting a single
resistor across the pair at the receiver end will suffice.
Surface mount 1% to 2% resistors are best. PCB stubs, component lead, and the distance from the termination
to the receiver inputs must be minimized. The distance between the termination resistor and the receiver must be
< 10 mm (12 mm maximum).
