MAX9159
General Description
The MAX9159 dual low-voltage differential signaling
(LVDS) receiver is ideal for applications requiring high
speed, low power, and low noise. The MAX9159 is pin
compatible with the SN65LVDS9637. The MAX9159
conforms to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and
converts LVDS to LVTTL-compatible outputs. A fail-safe
feature sets the output high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9159 is
available in an 8-pin SO package and fully specified for
the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
Refer to the MAX9111/MAX9113 data sheet for higher
performance single/dual LVDS line receivers in SOT23
and SO packages. Refer to the MAX9110/MAX9112
data sheet for single/dual LVDS line drivers in SOT23
and SO packages.

Detailed Description
LVDS is intended for point-to-point communication over
a controlled-impedance medium as defined by the
ANSI TIA/EIA-644 and IEEE 1596.3 standards. LVDS
uses a lower voltage swing than other common communication standards, achieving higher data rates with
reduced power consumption, while reducing EMI
emissions and system susceptibility to noise.
The MAX9159 is a dual LVDS line receiver ideal for
applications requiring high data rates, low power, and
low noise. The device accepts an LVDS input and
translates it to an LVTTL output. The receiver detects
differential signals as low as 100mV and as high as
0.6V within an input voltage range of 0 to 2.4V.

LOAD CAPACITANCE (pF)
The 250mV to 450mV differential output of an LVDS driver is nominally centered around a 1.25V offset. This
offset, coupled with the receiver’s 0 to 2.4V input voltage range, allows an approximate ±1V shift in the signal (as seen by the receiver). This allows for a
difference in ground references of the driver and the
receiver, the common-mode effects of coupled noise,
or both. The LVDS standards specify an input voltage
range of 0 to 2.4V referenced to receiver ground.
Fail-Safe
The fail-safe feature of the MAX9159 sets the output
high and reduces supply current when:
• Inputs are open.
• Inputs are undriven and shorted.
• Inputs are undriven and terminated.
A fail-safe circuit is important because under these
conditions, noise at the input may switch the receiver
and it may appear to the system that data is being
received. Open or undriven terminated input conditions
can occur when a cable is disconnected or cut, or
when an LVDS driver output is in high impedance. A
short condition can occur because of a cable failure.
The fail-safe input network (Figure 1) samples the input
common-mode voltage and compares it to VCC - 0.3V
(nominal). When the input is driven to levels specified in
the LVDS standards, the input common-mode voltage is
less than VCC - 0.3V and the fail-safe circuit is not acti-

vated. If the inputs are open or if the inputs are undriven
and shorted or undriven and parallel terminated, there is
no input current. In this case, a pullup resistor in the failsafe circuit pulls both inputs above VCC - 0.3V, activating
the fail-safe circuit and forcing the output high.
For LVDS applications, use a four-layer PC board with
separate layers for power, ground, and input/output. To
minimize crosstalk, do not run the output in parallel with
the inputs.

Power-Supply Bypassing
Bypass VCC with high-frequency surface-mount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF capacitors in parallel as close to

Differential Traces
Input trace characteristics affect the performance of the
MAX9159. Use controlled-impedance PC board traces,
typically 100Ω. Match the termination resistor to this
characteristic impedance. Eliminate reflections and
ensure that noise couples as common mode by running
the differential traces close together. Reduce skew by
matching the electrical length of the traces. Excessive
skew can result in a degradation of magnetic field cancellation. Input differential signals should be routed
close to each other to cancel their external magnetic
field. Maintain a constant distance between the differential traces to avoid discontinuities in differential
impedance. Minimize the number of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities.

RIN1
Termination
In point-to-point connections, the MAX9159 requires an
external termination resistor. The termination resistor
should match the differential impedance of the transmission line. Termination resistance is typically 100Ω, but
may range between 90Ω to 132Ω, depending on the
characteristic impedance of the transmission medium.
When using the MAX9159, minimize the distance
between the input termination resistor and the
MAX9159 inputs. Use 1% surface-mount resistors.

Cables and Connectors
Transmission media should typically have a controlled
differential impedance of 100Ω. Use cables and connectors that have matched differential impedance to
minimize impedance discontinuities. Avoid the use of
unbalanced cables such as ribbon or simple coaxial
cable. Balanced cables such as twisted pair offer
superior signal quality and tend to generate less EMI
due to canceling effects. Balanced cables tend to pick
up noise as common mode, which is rejected by the
LVDS receiver.
