DS25BR120
3.125 Gbps LVDS Buffer with Transmit Pre-Emphasis
DS25BR120 3.125 Gbps LVDS Buffer with Transmit Pre-Emphasis
General Description
The DS25BR120 is a single channel 3.125 Gbps LVDS buffer
optimized for high-speed signal transmission over lossy FR-4
printed circuit board backplanes and balanced metallic cables. Fully differential signal paths ensure exceptional signal
integrity and noise immunity.
The DS25BR120 features four levels of pre-emphasis (PE)
for use as an optimized driver device. Other LVDS devices
with similar IO characteristics include the following products.
The DS25BR110 features four levels of equalization for use
as an optimized receiver device, while the DS25BR100 features both pre-emphasis and equalization for use as an optimized repeater device. The DS25BR150 is a buffer/repeater
with the lowest power consumption and does not feature
transmit pre-emphasis nor receive equalization.
Wide input common mode range allows the receiver to accept
signals with LVDS, CML and LVPECL levels; the output levels
are LVDS. A very small package footprint requires minimal
space on the board while the flow-through pinout allows easy
board layout. The differential inputs and outputs are internally
terminated with a 100Ω resistor to lower device input and output return losses, reduce component count and further minimize board space.

Note 4: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur, including inoperability and degradation of device reliability
and/or performance. Functional operation of the device and/or non-degradation at the Absolute Maximum Ratings or other conditions beyond those indicated in
the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions at which the device is functional and the
device should not be operated beyond such conditions.
Note 5: The Electrical Characteristics tables list guaranteed specifications under the listed Recommended Operating Conditions except as otherwise modified
or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations only and are not guaranteed.
Note 6: Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are referenced to ground except VOD and
ΔVOD.
Note 7: Typical values represent most likely parametric norms for VCC = +3.3V and TA = +25°C, and at the Recommended Operation Conditions at the time of
product characterization and are not guaranteed.
Note 8: Output short circuit current (IOS) is specified as magnitude only, minus sign indicates direction only.
