The DS90CR211 transmitter converts 21 bits of CMOS/TTL
data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling)
data streams.Aphase-locked transmit clockis transmitted in
parallel with the data streams over a fourth LVDS link. Every
cycle of the transmit clock 21 bits of input data are sampled
and transmitted. The DS90CR212 receiver converts the
LVDS data streams back into 21 bits of CMOS/TTL data. At
a transmit clock frequency of 40 MHz, 21 bits of TTLdata are
transmitted at a rate of 280 Mbps per LVDS data channel.
Using a 40 MHz clock, the data throughput is 840
Mbit/s(105 Mbyte/s).
The multiplexing of the data lines provides a substantial
cable reduction. Long distance parallel single-ended buses
typically require a ground wire per active signal (and have
very limited noise rejection capability). Thus, for a 21-bit wide
data bus and one clock, up to 44 conductors are required.
With the Channel Link chipset as few as 9 conductors (3
data pairs, 1 clock pair and a minimum of one ground) are
July 1997
needed. This provides a 80%reduction in required cable
width, providing a system cost savings, reduces connector
physical size, 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, 5 4-bit nibbles plus 1 control, or
2 9-bit (byte + parity) and 3 control.

Applications Information
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 (
cal. 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-coaxfor example, has
been demonstrated at distances as great as 10 meters and
with the maximum data transfer of 1.12 Gbit/s. Additional applications information can be found in the following National
Interface Application Notes:
AN-1035PCB Design Guidelines for LVDS and
AN-806Transmission Line Theory
AN-905Transmission Line Calculations and
AN-916Cable Information
CABLES: A cable interface between the transmitter and receiver needs to support the differential LVDS pairs. The
21-bit CHANNEL LINK chipset (DS90CR211/212) requires
four pairs of signal wires and the 28-bit CHANNEL LINK
chipset (DS90CR281/282) requires five pairs of signal wires.
The ideal cable/connector interface would have a constant
100Ω differential impedance throughout the path. It is also
recommended that cable skew remain below 350 ps (
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
www.national.com10

Applications Information (Continued)
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
FIGURE 18. LVDS Serialized Link Termination
UNUSED INPUTS: All unused inputs at the TxW 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 100Ω resistor 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 (90Ω to 120Ω typical) of the cable.
Figure 18
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.
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 V
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
traces for power and ground and ensure each capacitor has
its own via to the ground plane. If board space is limiting the

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.

Decoupling Configuration
CLOCK JITTER: The CHANNEL LINK devices employ a
PLLto 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
40 MHz clock has a period of 25 ns which results in a data bit
width of 3.57 ns. Differential skew (∆t within one differential
pair), interconnect skew (∆t 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 V
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.

COMMON MODE vs. DIFFERENTIAL MODE NOISE MARGIN: 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
ter point due to ground potential differences and common
mode noise.
POWER SEQUENCING AND POWERDOWN MODE: Outputs of the CHANNEL LINK transmitter remain in
TRI-STATE
®
until the power supply reaches 3V. Clock and
data outputs will begin to toggle 10 ms after V
4.5V and the Powerdown pin is above 2V. 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
(5 mA per input) by the fixed current mode drivers, thus
through an internal diode. Current is limited
