DS90C401 Dual Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Driver
August 2005
General Description
The DS90C401 is a dual driver device optimized for high
data rate and low power applications. This device along with
the DS90C402 provides a pair chip solution for a dual high
speed point-to-point interface. The DS90C401 is a current
mode driver allowing power dissipation to remain low even at
high frequency. In addition, the short circuit fault current is
also minimized. The device is in a 8 lead small outline
package. The differential driver outputs provides low EMI
with its low output swings typically 340 mV.

Applications Information
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used
in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as is shown
DS90C401
in Figure 4. This configuration provides a clean signaling
environment for the quick 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 100Ω. A termination resistor of 100Ω should be selected to match the media,
and is located as close to the receiver input pins as possible.
The termination resistor converts the current sourced by the
driver 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 taken into account.
The DS90C401 differential line driver is a balanced current
source design. A current mode driver, generally speaking
has a high output impedance and supplies a constant current for a range of loads (a voltage mode driver on the other
hand supplies a constant voltage for a range of loads).
Current is switched through the load in one direction to
produce a logic state and in the other direction to produce
the other logic state. The typical output current is mere 3.4
mA, a minimum of 2.5 mA, and a maximum of 4.5 mA. The
current mode requires (as discussed above) that a resistive
termination be employed to terminate the signal and to complete the loop as shown in Figure 4. AC or unterminated
configurations are not allowed. The 3.4 mA loop current will
develop a differential voltage of 340 mV across the 100Ω
termination resistor which the receiver detects with a 240 mV
minimum differential noise margin neglecting resistive line
losses (driven signal minus receiver threshold (340 mV –
100 mV = 240 mV)). The signal is centered around +1.2V

typically 680 mV.
The current mode driver provides substantial benefits over
voltage mode drivers, such as an RS-422 driver. Its quiescent current remains relatively flat versus switching frequency. Whereas the RS-422 voltage mode driver increases
exponentially in most case between 20 MHz–50 MHz. This
is due to the overlap current that flows between the rails of
the device when the internal gates switch. Whereas the
current mode driver switches a fixed current between its
output without any substantial overlap current. This is similar
to some ECL and PECL devices, but without the heavy static
requirements of the ECL/PECL designs. LVDS requires

80% less current than similar PECL devices. AC specifications for the driver are a tenfold improvement over other
existing RS-422 drivers.
