MAXIM MAX9163ESA

19-2689; Rev 0; 1/03
Bus LVDS 3.3V Single Transceiver
The MAX9163 high-speed bus low-voltage differential
signaling (BLVDS) transceiver is designed specifically
for heavily loaded multipoint bus applications. The
MAX9163 operates from a single 3.3V power supply, and
is pin compatible with the DS92LV010A. The transceiver
consists of one differential BLVDS line driver and one
LVDS receiver. The driver output and receiver input are
connected internally to minimize bus loading. The individual enable logic inputs (DE, RE) are used to enable
the driver or the receiver.
The MAX9163 driver output uses a current-steering
configuration to generate a 9mA (typ) drive current. The
driver accepts a single-ended input and translates it to
a differential output level of 243mV (typ) into 27Ω at
speeds up to 200Mbps. The MAX9163 receiver detects
a differential input as low as 100mV and translates it to
a single-ended output at speeds up to 200Mbps. The
receiver input features a fail-safe circuit that sets the
receiver output high when the receiver inputs are
undriven and open, terminated, or shorted.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Detailed Description
The MAX9163 high-speed BLVDS transceiver is
designed specifically for heavily loaded multipoint bus
applications. The MAX9163 operates from a single 3.3V
power supply, and is pin compatible with DS92LV010A.
The transceiver consists of one differential BLVDS line
driver and one LVDS receiver. The driver outputs and
receiver inputs are connected internally to minimize
bus loading. The driver and receiver can be enabled or
disabled individually or simultaneously by the use of
enable logic inputs (DE, RE).
The MAX9163 driver output uses a current-steering
configuration to generate a 9mA (typ) output current.
This current-steering approach induces less ground
bounce and no shoot-through current, enhancing noise
margin and system speed performance. The outputs
are short-circuit current limited. The MAX9163 currentsteering output requires a resistive load to terminate the
signal and complete the transmission loop. With a typical 9mA output current, the MAX9163 produces a
243mV output voltage when driving a bus terminated
with two 54Ω resistors (9mA x 27Ω = 243mV).
The MAX9163 receiver detects a differential input as
low as 100mV and translates it to a single-ended output. The device features an in-path fail-safe circuit that
sets the receiver output high when the receiver inputs
are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted.
Receiver In-Path Fail-Safe
The MAX9163 has in-path fail-safe circuitry, which is
designed with a +35mV input offset voltage, a 2.5µA
current source between V CC and the noninverting
input, and a 5µA current sink between the inverting
input and ground (Figure 6). If the differential input is
open, the 2.5µA current source pulls the input to about
VCC - 0.7V and the 5µA source sink pulls the inverting
8
input to ground, which drives the receiver output high.
If the differential input is shorted or terminated with a
typical value termination resistor, the +35mV offset drives the receiver output high. If the input is terminated
and floating, the receiver output is driven high by the
+35mV offset, and the 2:1 current sink to current
source ratio (5µA:2.5µA) pulls the inputs to ground.
This can be an advantage when switching between drivers on a multipoint bus. The change in common-mode
voltage on the MAX9163 is from ground to the typical
driver offset voltage of 1.2V. This is less than the
change from VCC to 1.2V found on some circuits where
the fail-safe circuitry pulls the bus to VCC.
Effects of Capacitive Loading
The characteristic impedance of a differential PC board
trace is uniformly reduced when equal capacitive loads
are attached at equal intervals (provided that the transition time of the signal being driven on the trace is
longer than the delay between loads). This kind of loading is typical of multipoint buses where cards are
attached at 1in or 0.8in intervals along the length of a
backplane. The reduction in characteristic impedance
is approximated by the following formula:
ZDF - loaded = ZDF - unloaded x [CO / (CO + (N x CL / L))]
where:
Z DF-unloaded = unloaded differential characteristic
impedance
CO = unloaded trace capacitance (pF/unit length)
CL = value of each capacitive load (pF)
N = number of capacitive loads
L = trace length

Figure 6. Input Fail-Safe Circuit
In this example, capacitive loading reduces the characteristic impedance from 120Ω to 54Ω. The load seen by
a driver located on a card in the middle of the bus is
27Ω because the driver sees two 54Ω terminations in
parallel. A typical LVDS driver (rated for a 100Ω load)
would not develop a large enough differential signal to
be detected reliably by an LVDS receiver.
The MAX9163 BLVDS driver is designed and specified
to drive a 27Ω load to differential voltage levels of
180mV to 360mV. A standard LVDS receiver is able to
detect this level of differential signal.
Short extensions off the bus, called stubs, contribute to
capacitive loading. Keep stubs less than 1in for a good
balance between ease of component placement and
good signal integrity.
The MAX9163 driver outputs are current-source drivers
and drive larger differential signal levels into resistances
higher than 27Ω and smaller levels into resistances lower
than 27Ω (see the Typical Operating Characteristics
curves). To keep loading from reducing bus impedance
below the rated 27Ω load, PC board traces can be
designed for higher unloaded characteristic impedances.
Power-On Reset
The power-on reset voltage of the MAX9163 is typically
2.2V. When the supply falls below this voltage, the
device is disabled and the outputs (DO+/RO+, DO-/RO-,
and ROUT) are high impedance.
In the example in the Effects of Capacitive Loading
section, the loaded differential impedance of the bus is
reduced to 54Ω. Because the bus can be driven from
any card position, it must be terminated at each end. A
parallel termination of 54Ω at each end of the bus
placed across the traces provides a proper termination.
The total load seen by the driver is 27Ω.
In a multidrop bus where the driver is at one end and
receivers are connected at regular intervals along the
bus, the bus has lowered impedance due to capacitive
loading. Assuming the same impedance as calculated
in the multidrop example (54Ω), the multidrop bus can
be terminated with a single, parallel-connected 54Ω
resistor at the far end of the driver. Only a single resistor is required because the driver sees one 54Ω differential trace. The signal swings are larger with a 54Ω
load. In general, parallel terminate each end of the bus
with a resistor matching the differential impedance of
the bus (taking into account any reduced impedance
due to loading).
Traces, Cables, and Connectors
The characteristics of differential input and output connections affect the performance of the device. Use controlled-impedance traces, cables, and connectors with
matched characteristic impedance.
Ensure that noise couples as common mode by running the traces of a differential pair close together.
Reduce within-pair skew by matching the electrical
length of the conductors within a differential pair.
Excessive skew can result in a degradation of magnetic
field cancellation.
Maintain the distance between conductors within a differential pair to avoid discontinuities in differential
impedance. Minimize the number of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities.
Board Layout
For BLVDS applications, a four-layer PC board with
separate power, ground, BLVDS, LVDS, and logic
signal layers is recommended. Separate the LVTTL/
LVCMOS and BLVDS signals to prevent coupling.
