3V LVDS Dual CMOS Differential Line Receiver
DS90LV028A 3V LVDS Dual CMOS Differential Line Receiver
January 2003
General Description
The DS90LV028A is a dual CMOS differential line receiver
designed for applications requiring ultra low power dissipation, low noise and high data rates. The device is designed to
support data rates in excess of 400 Mbps (200 MHz) utilizing
Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) technology.
The DS90LV028A accepts low voltage (350 mV typical) differential input signals and translates them to 3V CMOS
output levels. The receiver also supports open, shorted and
terminated (100Ω) input fail-safe. The receiver output will be
HIGH for all fail-safe conditions. The DS90LV028A has a
flow-through design for easy PCB layout.
The DS90LV028A and companion LVDS line driver provide a
new alternative to high power PECL/ECL devices for high
speed point-to-point interface applications.

Applications Information
General application guidelines and hints for LVDS drivers
and receivers may be found in the following application
notes: LVDS Owner’s Manual (lit #550062-002), AN-808,
AN-977, AN-971, AN-916, AN-805, AN-903.
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used
in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as is shown
in Figure 3. This configuration provides a clean signaling

environment for the fast 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 driver output (current
mode) into a voltage that is detected by the receiver. Other
