DS90CR213/DS90CR214 21-Bit Channel Link—66 MHz General Description The DS90CR213 transmitter converts 21 bits of CMOS/TTL data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in parallel with the data streams over a fourth LVDS link. Every cycle of the transmit clock 21 bits of input data are sampled and transmitted. The DS90CR214 receiver converts the LVDS data streams back into 21 bits of CMOS/TTL data. At a transmit clock frequency of 66 MHz, 21 bits of TTL data are transmitted at a rate of 462 Mbps per LVDS data channel. Using a 66 MHz clock, the data throughput is 1.386 Gbit/s (173 Mbytes/s). The multiplexing of the data lines provides a substantial cable reduction. Long distance parallel single-ended buses typically require a ground wire per active signal (and have very limited noise rejection capability). Thus, for a 21-bit wide data and one clock, up to 44 conductors are required. With the Channel Link chipset as few as 9 conductors (3 data pairs, 1 clock pair and a minimum of one ground) are needed. This provides an 80% reduction in required cable width, which provides a system cost savings, reduces connector physical size and cost, and reduces shielding requirements due to the cable’s smaller form factor. The 21 CMOS/TTL inputs can support a variety of signal combinations. For example, 5 4-bit nibbles (byte + parity) or 2 9-bit (byte + 3 parity) and 1 control.

Applications Information recommended that cable skew remain below 350 ps ( @ 66 MHz clock rate) to maintain a sufficient data sampling window at the receiver. In addition to the four or five cable pairs that carry data and clock, it is recommended to provide at least one additional conductor (or pair) which connects ground between the transmitter and receiver. This low impedance ground provides a common mode return path for the two devices. Some of the more commonly used cable types for point-to-point applications include flat ribbon, flex, twisted pair and Twin-Coax. All are available in a variety of configurations and options. Flat ribbon cable, flex and twisted pair generally perform well in short point-to-point applications while Twin-Coax is good for short and long applications. When using ribbon cable, it is recommended to place a ground line between each differential pair to act as a barrier to noise coupling between adjacent pairs. For Twin-Coax cable applications, it is recommended to utilize a shield on each cable pair. All extended point-to-point applications should also employ an overall shield surrounding all cable pairs regardless of the cable type. This overall shield results in improved transmission parameters such as faster attainable speeds, longer distances between transmitter and receiver and reduced problems associated with EMS or EMI. The high-speed transport of LVDS signals has been demonstrated on several types of cables with excellent results. However, the best overall performance has been seen when using Twin-Coax cable. Twin-Coax has very low cable skew and EMI due to its construction and double shielding. All of the design considerations discussed here and listed in the supplemental application notes provide the subsystem communications designer with many useful guidelines. It is rec- The Channel Link devices are intended to be used in a wide variety of data transmission applications. Depending upon the application the interconnecting media may vary. For example, for lower data rate (clock rate) and shorter cable lengths ( < 2m), the media electrical performance is less critical. For higher speed/long distance applications the media’s performance becomes more critical. Certain cable constructions provide tighter skew (matched electrical length between the conductors and pairs). Twin-coax for example, has been demonstrated at distances as great as 5 meters and with the maximum data transfer of 1.38 Gbit/s. Additional applications information can be found in the following National Interface Application Notes: AN = #### Topic AN-1041 Introduction to Channel Link AN-1035 PCB Design Guidelines for LVDS and Link Devices AN-806 Transmission Line Theory AN-905 Transmission Line Calculations and Differential Impedance AN-916 Cable Information CABLES: A cable interface between the transmitter and receiver needs to support the differential LVDS pairs. The 21-bit CHANNEL LINK chipset (DS90CR213/214) requires four pairs of signal wires and the 28-bit CHANNEL LINK chipset (DS90CR283/284) requires five pairs of signal wires. The ideal cable/connector interface would have a constant 100Ω differential impedance throughout the path. It is also www.national.com 10 TERMINATION: Use of current mode drivers requires a terminating resistor across the receiver inputs. The CHANNEL LINK chipset will normally require a single 100Ω resistor between the true and complement lines on each differential pair of the receiver input. The actual value of the termination resistor should be selected to match the differential mode characteristic impedance (90Ω to 120Ω typical) of the cable. Figure 18 shows an example. No additional pull-up or pull-down resistors are necessary as with some other differential technologies such as PECL. Surface mount resistors are recommended to avoid the additional inductance that accompanies leaded resistors. These resistors should be placed as close as possible to the receiver input pins to reduce stubs and effectively terminate the differential lines. DECOUPLING CAPACITORS: Bypassing capacitors are needed to reduce the impact of switching noise which could limit performance. For a conservative approach three parallel-connected decoupling capacitors (Multi-Layered Ceramic type in surface mount form factor) between each VCC and the ground plane(s) are recommended. The three capacitor values are 0.1 µF, 0.01µF and 0.001 µF. An example is shown in Figure 19. The designer should employ wide traces for power and ground and ensure each capacitor has its own via to the ground plane. If board space is limiting the number of bypass capacitors, the PLL VCC should receive the most filtering/bypassing. Next would be the LVDS VCC pins and finally the logic VCC pins. (Continued) ommended that the designer assess the tradeoffs of each application thoroughly to arrive at a reliable and economical cable solution. BOARD LAYOUT: To obtain the maximum benefit from the noise and EMI reductions of LVDS, attention should be paid to the layout of differential lines. Lines of a differential pair should always be adjacent to eliminate noise interference from other signals and take full advantage of the noise canceling of the differential signals. The board designer should also try to maintain equal length on signal traces for a given differential pair. As with any high speed design, the impedance discontinuities should be limited (reduce the numbers of vias and no 90 degree angles on traces). Any discontinuities which do occur on one signal line should be mirrored in the other line of the differential pair. Care should be taken to ensure that the differential trace impedance match the differential impedance of the selected physical media (this impedance should also match the value of the termination resistor that is connected across the differential pair at the receiver’s input). Finally, the location of the CHANNEL LINK TxOUT/ RxIN pins should be as close as possible to the board edge so as to eliminate excessive pcb runs. All of these considerations will limit reflections and crosstalk which adversely effect high frequency performance and EMI. UNUSED INPUTS: All unused inputs at the TxIN inputs of the transmitter must be tied to ground. All unused outputs at the RxOUT outputs of the receiver must then be left floating. DS012888-24 FIGURE 18. LVDS Serialized Link Termination width of 2.16 ns. Differential skew (∆t within one differential pair), interconnect skew (∆t of one differential pair to another) and clock jitter will all reduce the available window for sampling the LVDS serial data streams. Care must be taken to ensure that the clock input to the transmitter be a clean low noise signal. Individual bypassing of each VCC to ground will minimize the noise passed on to the PLL, thus creating a low jitter LVDS clock. These measures provide more margin for channel-to-channel skew and interconnect skew as a part of the overall jitter/skew budget. COMMON MODE vs. DIFFERENTIAL MODE NOISE MARGIN: The typical signal swing for LVDS is 300 mV centered at +1.2V. The CHANNEL LINK receiver supports a 100 mV threshold therefore providing approximately 200 mV of differential noise margin. Common mode protection is of more importance to the system’s operation due to the differential data transmission. LVDS supports an input voltage range of Ground to +2.4V. This allows for a ± 1.0V shifting of the center point due to ground potential differences and common mode noise. DS012888-25 FIGURE 19. CHANNEL LINK Decoupling Configuration CLOCK JITTER: The CHANNEL LINK devices employ a PLL to generate and recover the clock transmitted across the LVDS interface. The width of each bit in the serialized LVDS data stream is one-seventh the clock period. For example, a 66 MHz clock has a period of 15 ns which results in a data bit 11 www.national.com DS90CR213/DS90CR214 Applications Information DS90CR213/DS90CR214 Applications Information The CHANNEL LINK chipset is designed to protect itself from accidental loss of power to either the transmitter or receiver. If power to the transmit board is lost, the receiver clocks (input and output) stop. The data outputs (RxOUT) retain the states they were in when the clocks stopped. When the receiver board loses power, the receiver inputs are shorted to V CC through an internal diode. Current is limited (5 mA per input) by the fixed current mode drivers, thus avoiding the potential for latchup when powering the device. (Continued) POWER SEQUENCING AND POWERDOWN MODE: Outputs of the CHANNEL LINK transmitter remain in TRISTATE ® until the power supply reaches 3V. Clock and data outputs will begin to toggle 10 ms after VCC has reached 4.5V and the Powerdown pin is above 2V. Either device may be placed into a powerdown mode at any time by asserting the Powerdown pin (active low). Total power dissipation for each device will decrease to 5 µW (typical).
