DS91D176/DS91C176
100 MHz Single Channel M-LVDS Transceivers
General Description
The DS91C176 and DS91D176 are 100 MHz single channel
M-LVDS (Multipoint Low Voltage Differential Signaling)
transceivers designed for applications that utilize multipoint
networks (e.g. clock distribution in ATCA and uTCA based
systems). M-LVDS is a new bus interface standard (TIA/
EIA-899) optimized for multidrop networks. Controlled edge
rates, tight input receiver thresholds and increased drive
strength are sone of the key enhancments that make M-LVDS
devices an ideal choice for distributing signals via multipoint
networks.
The DS91C176/DS91D176 are half-duplex transceivers that
accept LVTTL/LVCMOS signals at the driver inputs and convert them to differential M-LVDS signals. The receiver inputs
accept low voltage differential signals (LVDS, B-LVDS, MLVDS, LV-PECL and CML) and convert them to 3V LVCMOS
signals. The DS91D176 has a M-LVDS type 1 receiver input
with no offset. The DS91C176 has an M-LVDS type 2 receiver
which enable failsafe functionality.

Typical Application in an ATCA Clock Distribution Network
The EIA/TIA-899 M-LVDS standard specifies two different
types of receiver input stages. A type 1 receiver has a conventional threshold that is centered at the midpoint of the input
amplitude, VID/2. A type 2 receiver has a built in offset that is
100mV greater than VID/2. The type 2 receiver offset acts as
a failsafe circuit where open or short circuits at the input will
always result in the output stage being driven to a low logic
state.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the device should
be operated at these limits. The tables of “Electrical Characteristics” provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 2: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3: All typicals are given for VCC = 3.3V and TA = 25°C.
Note 4: The algebraic convention, in which the least positive (most negative) limit is designated as minimum, is used in this datasheet.
Note 5: t
the same channel.
Note 6: t
applies to devices at the same VCC and within 5°C of each other within the operating temperature range.
Note 7: Stimulus and fixture Jitter has been subtracted.
Note 8: CL includes fixture capacitance and CD includes probe capacitance.
Note 9: Not production tested. Guaranteed by a statistical analysis on a sample basis at the time of characterization.
