19-2578; Rev 0; 10/02 Single/Dual LVDS Line Receivers with "In-Path" Fail-Safe The MAX9171/MAX9172 single/dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receivers 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. The MAX9171 is a single LVDS receiver and the MAX9172 is a dual LVDS receiver. Both devices conform to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and convert LVDS to LVTTL/LVCMOS-compatible outputs. A fail-safe feature sets the outputs high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9171/MAX9172 are available in 8-pin SO packages and space-saving thin QFN and SOT23 packages. For lower skew devices, refer to the MAX9111/ MAX9113 data sheet.

The LVDS interface standard is a signaling method intended for point-topoint communication over controlled-impedance media, as defined by the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 standards. The technology uses low-voltage signals to achieve fast transition times and minimize power dissipation and noise immunity. The MAX9171/MAX9172 convert LVDS Table 1. Input-Output Function Table INPUTS OUTPUT (IN_+) - (IN_-) OUT_ 0mV High -100mV Low Open High Undriven short High Undriven parallel termination High 6 signals to LVCMOS/LVTTL signals at rates in excess of 500Mbps. These devices are capable of detecting differential signals as low as 100mV and as high as 1.2V within a 0 to VCC input voltage range. Table 1 is the input-output function table. Fail-Safe The MAX9171/MAX9172 fail-safe drives the receiver output high when the differential input is: * Open * Undriven and shorted * Undriven and terminated Without fail-safe, differential noise at the input may switch the receiver and appear as data to the receiving system. An open input occurs when a cable and termination are disconnected. An undriven, terminated input occurs when a cable is disconnected with the termination still connected across the receiver inputs or when the driver of a receiver is in high impedance. An undriven, shorted input can occur due to a shorted cable. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Single/Dual LVDS Line Receivers with "In-Path" Fail-Safe 2.5A IN_+ OUT_ 40mV IN_- 5A Figure 1.

Propagation Delay and Transition Test Time Circuit The MAX9171/MAX9172 have in-path fail-safe that is compatible with in-path fail-safe receivers, such as the DS90LV018A and DS90LV028A. Refer to the MAX9111/ MAX9113 data sheet for pin-compatible receivers with parallel fail-safe and lower jitter. Refer to the MAX9130 data sheet for a single LVDS receiver with parallel failsafe in an SC70 package. The MAX9171/MAX9172 with in-path fail-safe are designed with a +40mV input offset voltage, a 2.5A current source between V CC and the noninverting input, and a 5A current sink between the inverting input and ground (Figure 1). If the differential input is open, the 2.5A current source pulls the input to VCC 0.7V and the 5A source sink pulls the inverting input to ground, which drives the receiver output high. If the differential input is shorted or terminated with a typical value termination resistor, the +40mV offset drives the receiver output high. If the input is terminated and floating, the receiver output is driven high by the +40mV offset, and the 2:1 current sink to current source ratio (5A:2.5A) pulls the inputs to ground. This can be an advantage when switching between drivers on a multipoint bus because the change in common-mode voltage from ground to the typical driver offset voltage of 1.2V is not as much as the change from VCC to 1.2V (parallel fail-safe pulls the bus to VCC).

The receiver inputs of the MAX9171/MAX9172 have extra protection against static electricity. These pins are protected to 13kV without damage. The structures withstand ESD during normal operation and when powered down. The receiver inputs of these devices are characterized for protection to the limit of 13kV using the Human Body Model. The MAX9171/MAX9172 require an external termination resistor. The termination resistor should match the differential impedance of the transmission line. Termination resistance values may range between 90 to 132, depending on the characteristic impedance of the transmission medium. When using the MAX9171/MAX9172, minimize the distance between the input termination resistors and the MAX9171/MAX9172 receiver inputs. Use a single 1% surface-mount resistor. Human Body Model Board Layout Figure 4a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 4b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low-impedance load. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD test voltage, which is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5k resistor. For LVDS applications, a four-layer PC board that provides separate power, ground, LVDS signals, and output signals is recommended. Separate the input LVDS signals from the output signals to prevent crosstalk. Solder the exposed pad on the QFN package to a pad connected to the PC board ground plane by a matrix of vias. Connecting the exposed pad is not a substitute for connecting the ground pin. Always connect pin 5 on the QFN package to ground. 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 0.001F capacitor closest to the device. For additional supply bypassing, place a 10F tantalum or ceramic capacitor at the point where power enters the circuit board. RC 1M RD 1500 DISCHARGE RESISTANCE CHARGE-CURRENT LIMIT RESISTOR HIGHVOLTAGE DC SOURCE Cs 100pF DEVICE UNDER TEST STORAGE CAPACITOR Differential Traces Input trace characteristics affect the performance of the MAX9171/MAX9172. Use controlled-impedance PC board traces to match the cable characteristic impedance. 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 traces. Each channel's differential signals should be routed close to each other to cancel their external magnetic field. Maintain a constant distance between the differential traces to avoid discontinuities in differential impedance. Avoid 90 turns and minimize the number of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities. Cables and Connectors Transmission media typically have a controlled differential impedance of about 100. Use cables and connectors that have matched differential impedance to minimize impedance discontinuities. Balanced cables tend to pick up noise as common mode, which is rejected by the LVDS receiver. 8 Figure 4a.
