DS90C241/DS90C124
5-35MHz DC-Balanced 24-Bit LVDS Serializer and
Deserializer

General Description

The DS90C241/DS90C124 Chipset translates a 24-bit paral­lel bus into a fully transparent data/control LVDS serial stream
with embedded clock information. This single serial stream
simplifies transferring a 24-bit bus over PCB traces and cable
by eliminating the skew problems between parallel data and
clock paths. It saves system cost by narrowing data paths that
in turn reduce PCB layers, cable width, and connector size
and pins.

The DS90C241/DS90C124 incorporates LVDS signaling on
the high-speed I/O. LVDS provides a low power and low noise
environment for reliably transferring data over a serial trans­mission path. By optimizing the serializer output edge rate for
the operating frequency range EMI is further reduced.

In addition the device features pre-emphasis to boost signals
over longer distances using lossy cables. Internal DC bal­anced encoding/decoding is used to support AC-Coupled
interconnects.

Note 1: “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 2: 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 3: Typical values represent most likely parametric norms at VCC = 3.3V, Ta = +25 degC, and at the Recommended Operation Conditions at the time of
product characterization and are not guaranteed.

Note 4: Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of a device pin is defined as negative. Voltages are referenced to ground except VOD, ΔVOD,
VTH and VTL which are differential voltages.

Note 5: When the Serializer output is tri-stated, the Deserializer will lose PLL lock. Resynchronization MUST occur before data transfer.

Note 6: t

DRDL

is the time required by the deserializer to obtain lock when exiting powerdown mode. t

DRDL

is specified with an external synchronization pattern.

Note 7: RxIN_TOL is a measure of how much phase noise (jitter) the deserializer can tolerate in the incoming data stream before bit errors occur. It is a
measurement in reference with the ideal bit position, please see National’s AN-1217 for detail.

Note 8: The Deserializer PLL lock time (t

DRDL

) may vary depending on input data patterns and the number of transitions within the pattern.

Note 9: Specification is guaranteed by characterization and is not tested in production.

Note 10: t

JIT

(@BER of 10e-9) specifies the allowable jitter on TCLK. t

JIT

not included in TxOUT_E_O parameter.

Note 11: UI – Unit Interval, equivalent to one ideal serialized data bit width. The UI scales with frequency.

Note 12: Figures 1, 2, 8, 12, 14 show a falling edge data strobe (TCLK IN/RCLK OUT).

Note 13: Figures , 15 show a rising edge data strobe (TCLK IN/RCLK OUT).

Note 14: TxOUT_E_O is affected by pre-emphasis value.
