The DS90CR213 transmitter converts 21 bits of CMOS/TTL
data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling)
data streams. Aphase-locked transmitclock is transmitted in
parallel with the data streams over a fourth LVDSlink. Every
cycle of the transmit clock 21 bits of input data are sampled
and transmitted. The DS90CR214 receiver converts the
LVDS data streams back into 21 bits of CMOS/TTL data. At
a transmit clock frequency of 66MHz, 21bits ofTTL data are
transmitted at a rate of 462 Mbps per LVDS data channel.
Using a 66 MHz clock, the data throughput is 1.386 Gbit/s
(173 Mbytes/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, fora 21-bit wide
data 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
needed. This provides an 80%reduction in required cable

width, which provides a system cost savings, reduces connector physical size and cost, and reduces shielding requirements due to the cable’s smaller form factor.
The 21 CMOS/TTL inputs can support a variety of signal
combinations. For example, 5 4-bit nibbles (byte + parity) or
2 9-bit (byte + 3 parity) and 1 control.

Note 7: Receiver Skew Margin is definedas the valid data sampling region atthe receiver inputs. Thismargin takes into account for transmitter outputskew (TCCS)
and the setup and hold time (internal data sampling window), allowing LVDS cable skew dependent on type/length and source clock (TxCLK IN) jitter.
