NSC DS90CR483 48-bit lvds channel link ser/des - 33 - 112 mhz Datasheet

DS90CR483 / DS90CR484
48-Bit LVDS Channel Link SER/DES — 33 - 112 MHz
General Description
The DS90CR483 transmitter converts 48 bits of CMOS/TTL
data into eight LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling)
data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in
parallel with the data streams over a ninth LVDS link. Every
cycle of the transmit clock 48 bits of input data are sampled
and transmitted. The DS90CR484 receiver converts the
LVDS data streams back into 48 bits of CMOS/TTL data. At
a transmit clock frequency of 112MHz, 48 bits of TTL data
are transmitted at a rate of 672Mbps per LVDS data channel.
Using a 112MHz clock, the data throughput is 5.38Gbit/s
(672Mbytes/s).
The multiplexing of 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 48-bit wide
data and one clock, up to 98 conductors are required. With
this Channel Link chipset as few as 19 conductors (8 data
pairs, 1 clock pair and a minimum of one ground) are
needed. This provides an 80% reduction in cable width,
which provides a system cost savings, reduces connector
physical size and cost, and reduces shielding requirements
due to the cables’ smaller form factor.
The 48 CMOS/TTL inputs can support a variety of signal
combinations. For example, 6 8-bit words or 5 9-bit (byte +
parity) and 3 controls.
The DS90CR483/DS90CR484 chipset is improved over prior
generations of Channel Link devices and offers higher bandwidth support and longer cable drive with three areas of
enhancement. To increase bandwidth, the maximum clock
rate is increased to 112 MHz and 8 serialized LVDS outputs
are provided. Cable drive is enhanced with a user selectable
pre-emphasis feature that provides additional output current
during transitions to counteract cable loading effects. Optional DC balancing on a cycle-to-cycle basis, is also provided to reduce ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference). With preemphasis and DC balancing, a low distortion eye-pattern is
provided at the receiver end of the cable. A cable deskew
capability has been added to deskew long cables of pair-topair skew of up to +/−1 LVDS data bit time (up to 80 MHz
Clock Rate). These three enhancements allow cables 5+
meters in length to be driven.
The chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size
problems associated with wide, high speed TTL interfaces.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values 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” specify conditions for device operation.
Note 2: Typical values are given for VCC = 3.3V and T A = +25˚C.
Note 3: Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of device pins is defined as negative. Voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified (except VTH, VTL, VOD and ∆VOD).
Note 4: The Minimum and Maximum Limits are based on statistical analysis of the device performance over voltage and temperature ranges. This parameter is
functionally tested on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). ATE is limited to 85MHz. A sample of characterization parts have been bench tested to verify functional
performance.
Note 5: Receiver Skew Margin (RSKM) is defined as the valid data sampling region at the receiver inputs. This margin takes into account transmitter output pulse
positions (min and max) and the receiver input setup and hold time (internal data sampling window - RSPOS). This margin allows for LVDS interconnect skew,
inter-symbol interference (both dependent on type/length of cable) and clock jitter.
RSKM ≥ cable skew (type, length) + source clock jitter (cycle to cycle, TJCC) + ISI (if any). See Applications Information section for more details.
Note 6: Receiver Skew Margin with Deskew (RSKMD) is defined as the valid data sampling region at the receiver inputs. The DESKEW function will constrain the
receiver’s sampling strobes to the middle half of the LVDS bit and removes (adjusts for) fixed interconnect skew. This margin (RSKMD) allows for inter-symbol
interference (dependent on type/length of cable), Transmitter Pulse Position (TPPOS) variance, and LVDS clock jitter (TJCC).
RSKMD ≥ ISI + TPPOS(variance) + source clock jitter (cycle to cycle). See Applications Information section for more details.
Note 7: Typical values for RSKM and RSKMD are applicable for fixed VCC and T A for the Transmitter and Receiver (both are assumed to be at the same VCC and
T A points).
Note 8: TJCC is a function of input clock quality and also PLLVCC noise. At 112MHz operation, with a +/−300ps input impulse at a 2us rate, TJCC has been
measured to be in the 70-80ps range ( < 100ps). With a nominal input clock quality (no input impulse jitter, jitter < 500kHz), TJCC is typically 50ps or less. For
RSKM/RSKMD calculations 100ps is typically used as the TJCC budget. See Clock Jitter discussion in the Applications Information section of this datasheet for
further information.

Applications Information
The DS90CR483/DS90CR484 chipset is improved over prior
generations of Channel Link devices and offers higher bandwidth support and longer cable drive with three areas of
enhancement. To increase bandwidth, the maximum clock
rate is increased to 112 MHz and 8 serialized LVDS outputs
are provided. Cable drive is enhanced with a user selectable
pre-emphasis feature that provides additional output current
during transitions to counteract cable loading effects. This
requires the use of one pull up resistor to Vcc; please refer to
Table 1 to set the level needed. Optional DC balancing on a
cycle-to-cycle basis, is also provided to reduce ISI (InterSymbol Interference). With pre-emphasis and DC balancing,
a low distortion eye-pattern is provided at the receiver end of
the cable. A cable deskew capability has been added to
deskew long cables of pair-to-pair skew of up to ± 1 LVDS
data bit time (up to 80 MHz clock rates). For details on
deskew, refer to “Deskew” section below. These three enhancements allow cables 5+ meters in length to be driven
depending upon media and clock rate.
The DS90CR483/484 chipset may also be used in a non-DC
Balance mode. In this mode pre-emphasis is supported. In
this mode, the chipset is also compatible with 21 and 28-bit
Channel Link Receivers. See Figure 16 for the LVDS mapping.
New features Description:
1. Pre-emphasis: Adds extra current during LVDS logic
transition to reduce the cable loading effects. Pre-emphasis
strength is set via a DC voltage level applied from min to max
(0.75V to Vcc) at the “PRE” pin. A higher input voltage on the
”PRE” pin increases the magnitude of dynamic current during data transition. The “PRE” pin requires one pull-up resistor (Rpre) to Vcc in order to set the DC level. There is an
internal resistor network, which cause a voltage drop. Please
refer to the tables below to set the voltage level.
The waveshape at the Receiver input should not exhibit over
or undershoot with the proper amount of pre-emphasis set.
Too much pre-emphasis generates excess noise and increases power dissipation. Cables less than 2 meters in
length typically do not require pre-emphasis.

Note 10: This is based on testing with standard shield twisted pair cable. The amount of pre-emphasis will vary depending on the type of cable, length and operating
frequency.
2. DC Balance: In addition to data information an additional
bit is transmitted on every LVDS data signal line during each
cycle as shown in Figure 15. This bit is the DC balance bit
(DCBAL). The purpose of the DC Balance bit is to minimize
the short- and long-term DC bias on the signal lines. This is
achieved by selectively sending the data either unmodified
or inverted.
The value of the DC balance bit is calculated from the
running word disparity and the data disparity of the current
word to be sent. The data disparity of the current word shall
be calculated by subtracting the number of bits of value 0
from the number of bits value 1 in the current word. Initially,
the running word disparity may be any value between +7 and
−6. The running word disparity shall be calculated as a
continuous sum of all the modified data disparity values,
where the unmodified data disparity value is the calculated
data disparity minus 1 if the data is sent unmodified and 1
www.national.com
plus the inverse of the calculated data disparity if the data is
sent inverted. The value of the running word disparity shall
saturate at +7 and −6.
The value of the DC balance bit (DCBAL) shall be 0 when
the data is sent unmodified and 1 when the data is sent
inverted. To determine whether to send data unmodified or
inverted, the running word disparity and the current data
disparity are used. If the running word disparity is positive
and the current data disparity is positive, the data shall be
sent inverted. If the running word disparity is positive and the
current data disparity is zero or negative, the data shall be
sent unmodified. If the running word disparity is negative and
the current data disparity is positive, the data shall be sent
unmodified. If the running word disparity is negative and the
current data disparity is zero or negative, the data shall be
sent inverted. If the running word disparity is zero, the data
shall be sent inverted.

and connector skew can be compensated for in the design of
the system. Cable skew is media type and length dependant.
(Continued)
DC Balance mode is set when the BAL pin on the transmitter
is tied HIGH - see pin descriptions. DC Balancing is useful
on long cable applications which are typically greater than 5
meters in length.
3. Deskew: Deskew is supported in the DC Balance mode
only (BAL = high on DS90CR483). The “DESKEW” pin on
the receiver when set high will deskew a minimum of ± 1
LVDS data bit time skew from the ideal strobe location
between signals arriving on independent differential pairs
(pair-to-pair skew). It is required that the “DS_OPT” pin on
the Transmitter must be applied low for a minimum of four
clock cycles to complete the deskew operation. It is also
required that this must be performed at least once at any
time after the PLLs have locked to the input clock frequency.
If power is lost, or if the cable has been switched, this
procedure must be repeated or else the receiver may not
sample the incoming LVDS data correctly. When the receiver
is in the deskew mode, all receiver data outputs are set to a
LOW state, but the receiver clock output is still active and
switching. Setting the “DESKEW” pin to low will disable the
deskew operation and allow the receiver to operation on a
fixed data sampling strobe. In this case, the ”DS_OPT” pin
on the transmitter must then be set high.
The DS_OPT pin at the input of the transmitter
(DS90CR483) is used to initiate the deskew calibration pattern. It must be applied low for a minimum of four clock
cycles in order for the receiver to complete the deskew
operation. For this reason, the LVDS clock signal with
DS_OPT applied high (active data sampling) shall be
1111000 or 1110000 pattern. During the deskew operation
with DS_OPT applied low, the LVDS clock signal shall be
1111100 or 1100000 pattern. The transmitter will also output
a series of 1111000 or 1110000 onto the LVDS data lines
(TxOUT 0-7) during deskew so that the receiver can automatically calibrated the data sampling strobes at the receiver
inputs. Each data channel is deskewed independently and is
tuned with a step size of 1/3 of a bit time over a range of +/−1
TBIT from the ideal strobe location. The Deskew feature
operates up to clock rates of 80 MHz only. If the Receiver is
enabled in the deskew mode, then it must be trained before
data transfer.
RSKMD - Receiver Skew Margin with DESKEW
RSKMD is a chipset parameter and is applicable when the
DESKEW feature of the DS90CR484 is employed. It is the
difference between the receiver’s strobe window and the
ideal pulse locations. The DESKEW feature adjusts for skew
between each data channel and the clock channel. This
feature is supported up to 80 MHz clock rate. RSKMD must
be greater than the summation of: Transmitter’s Pulse Position variance, LVDS Source Clock Jitter (TJCC), and ISI (if
any). See Figure 14. With Deskew, RSKMD is ≥ 25% of
TBIT. Deskew compensates for interconnect skew which
includes PCB traces differences, connector skew and cable
skew (for a cable application). PCB trace and connector
skew can be compensated for in the design of the system.
Note, cable skew is media type and length dependant. Cable
length may be limited by the RSKMD parameter prior to the
interconnect skew reaching 1 TBIT in length due to ISI
effects.
Power Down:
Both transmitter and receiver provide a power down feature.
When asserted current draw through the supply pins is
minimized and the PLLs are shut down. The transmitter
outputs are in TRI-STATE when in power down mode. The
receiver outputs are forced to a active LOW state when in
the power down mode. (See Pin Description Tables). The PD
pin should be driven HIGH to enable the device once VCC is
stable.
Configurations:
The transmitter is designed to be connected typically to a
single receiver load. This is known as a point-to-point configuration. It is also possible to drive multiple receiver loads if
certain restrictions are made. Only the final receiver at the
end of the interconnect should provide termination across
the pair. In this case, the driver still sees the intended DC
load of 100 Ohms. Receivers connected to the cable between the transmitter and the final receiver must not load
down the signal. To meet this system requirement, stub
lengths from the line to the receiver inputs must be kept very
short.
Cable Termination
A termination resistor is required for proper operation to be
obtained. The termination resistor should be equal to the
differential impedance of the media being driven. This should
be in the range of 90 to 132 Ohms. 100 Ohms is a typical
value common used with standard 100 Ohm twisted pair
cables. This resistor is required for control of reflections and
also to complete the current loop. It should be placed as
close to the receiver inputs to minimize the stub length from
the resistor to the receiver input pins.
How to configure for backplane applications:
In a backplane application with differential line impedance of
100Ω the differential line pair-to-pair skew can controlled by
trace layout. The transmitter-DS90CR483 “DS_OPT” pin
may be set high. In a backplane application with short PCB
distance traces, pre-emphasis from the transmitter is typically not required. The “PRE” pin should be left open (do not
tie to ground). A resistor pad provision for a pull up resistor to
Vcc can be implemented in case pre-emphasis is needed to
counteract heavy capacitive loading effects.
How to configure for cable interconnect applications:
In applications that require the long cable drive capability.
The DS90CR483/DS90CR484 chipset is improved over prior
Clock Jitter:
The transmitter is designed to reject cycle-to-cycle jitter
which may be seen at the transmitter input clock. Very low
cycle-to-cycle jitter is passed on to the transmitter outputs.
Cycle-to-cycle jitter has been measured over frequency to
be less than 100 ps with input step function jitter applied.
This should be subtracted from the RSKM/RSKMD budget
as shown and described inFigure 13 and Figure 14. This
rejection capability significantly reduces the impact of jitter at
the TXinput clock pin, and improves the accuracy of data
sampling in the receiver. Transmitter output jitter is effected
by PLLVCC noise and input clock jitter - minimize supply
noise and use a low jitter clock source to limit output jitter.
The falling edge of the input clock to the transmitter is the
critical edge and is used by the PLL circuit.
RSKM - Receiver Skew Margin
RSKM is a chipset parameter and is explained in AN-1059 in
detail. It is the difference between the transmitter’s pulse
position and the receiver’s strobe window. RSKM must be
greater than the summation of: Interconnect skew, LVDS
Source Clock Jitter (TJCC), and ISI (if any). See Figure 13.
Interconnect skew includes PCB traces differences, connector skew and cable skew for a cable application. PCB trace

Receiver output drive strength:
The DS90CR484 output specify a 8pF load, VOH and VOL
are tested at ± 2mA, which is intended for only 1 or maybe
2 loads. If high fan-out is required or long transmission line
driving capability, buffering the receiver output is recommended. Receiver outputs do not support / provide a TRISTATE function.
LVDS Interconnect Guidelines:
(Continued)
generations of Channel Link devices and offers higher bandwidth support and longer cable drive with the use of DC
balanced data transmission, pre-emphasis. Cable drive is
enhanced with a user selectable pre-emphasis feature that
provides additional output current during transitions to counteract cable loading effects. This requires the use of one pull
up resistor to Vcc; please refer to Table 1 to set the level
needed. Optional DC balancing on a cycle-to-cycle basis, is
also provided to reduce ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) for
long cable applications. With pre-emphasis and DC balancing, a low distortion eye-pattern is provided at the receiver
end of the cable. These enhancements allow cables 5+
meters in length to be driven. Depending upon clock rate and
the media being driven, the cable Deskew feature may also
be employed - see discussion on DESKEW, RSKM and
RSKMD above.
Supply Bypass Recommendations:
See AN-1108 and AN-905 for full details.
• Use 100Ω coupled differential pairs
• Use the S/2S/3S rule in spacings
— S = space between the pair
— 2S = space between pairs
•
•
Use differential connectors when operating above
500Mbps line speed
• Maintain balance of the traces
• Minimize skew within the pair
• Minimize skew between pairs
• Terminate as close to the RXinputs as possible
DS90CR481/482 and PLLSEL Function
The DS90CR481/2 chipset is electrically similar to the
DS90CR483/4. The DS90CR481/2 differ only in the control
circuit of the internal PLL and are specified for 65 to 112 MHz
operation. The devices will directly inter-operate within the
scope of the respective datasheets. The DS90CR483/4 supports a wide operating range from 33 to 112 MHz. The
PLLSEL pin is used to select an auto-range feature. It shifts
between the two ranges (High and Low) in the 55 to 68 MHz
range. For operation in the 65 to 70 MHz range, the
DS90CR481/2 is recommended as it will select High gear
only and offer more margin to the system.
For more information:
Bypass capacitors must be used on the power supply pins.
Different pins supply different portions of the circuit, therefore capacitors should be nearby all power supply pins except as noted in the pin description table. Use high frequency ceramic (surface mount recommended) 0.1µF
capacitors close to each supply pin. If space allows, a
0.01µF capacitor should be used in parallel, with the smallest value closest to the device pin. Additional scattered
capacitors over the printed circuit board will improve decoupling. Multiple (large) via should be used to connect the
decoupling capacitors to the power plane. A 4.7 to 10 µF bulk
cap is recommended near the PLLVCC pins and also the
LVDSVCC (pin #40) on the Transmitter. Connections between the caps and the pin should use wide traces.
Input Signal Quality Requirements - Transmitter:
The input signal quality must comply to the datasheet requirements, please refer to the "Recommended Transmitter
Input Characteristics" table for specifications. In addition
undershoots in excess of the ABS MAX specifications are
not recommended. If the line between the host device and
the transmitter is long and acts as a transmission line, then
termination should be employed. If the transmitter is being
driven from a device with programmable drive strengths,
data inputs are recommended to be set to a weak setting to
prevent transmission line effects. The clock signal is typically
set higher to provide a clean edge that is also low jitter.
Unused LVDS Outputs:
Unused LVDS output channels should be terminated with
100 Ohm at the transmitter’s output pin.

Typical Data Rate vs Cable Length Curve
10091831
DATA RATE VS CABLE LENGTH TEST PROCEDURE
The Data Rate vs Cable Length graph was generated using National Semiconductor’s CLINK3V48BT-112 Evaluation Kit and
3M’s Mini D Ribbon (MDR) Cable under typical conditions (Vcc = 3.3V, Temp = +25˚C). A Tektronix MB100 Bit-Error-Rate Tester
(BERT) was used to send a PRBS (215) pattern to 32 of the 48 input channels on the transmitter (DS90CR483). The BERT was
also used to monitor the corresponding 32 receiver (DS90CR484) output channels for bit errors. The frequency of the input signal
were increased until bit errors were reported on the BERT. The frequency on the graph is the highest frequency without error.
Results:
The DS90CR483/4 link was error free at 100MHz over 10 meters of 3M cable using pre-emphasis and DC balance mode off.

MHz for auto-range. (Notes 11, 12)
PRE
I
Pre-emphasis “level” select. Pre-emphasis is active when input is tied to VCC
through external pull-up resistor. Resistor value determines Pre-emphasis level (See
Applications Information Section). For normal LVDS drive level (No Pre-emphasis)
leave this pin open (do not tie to ground).
DS_OPT
I
Cable Deskew performed when TTL level input is low. No TxIN data is sampled
during Deskew. To perform Deskew function, input must be held low for a minimum
of 4 clock cycles. The Deskew operation is normally conducted after the TX and RX
PLLs have locked. It should also be conducted after a system reset, or a
reconfiguration event. It must be performed at least once when "DESKEW" is
enabled. (Note 11) Deskew is only supported in the DC Balance mode (BAL =
High).
BAL
I
TTL level input. This pin was previously labeled as VCC, which enabled the DC
Balance function. But when tied low or left open, the DC Balance function is
disabled. Please refer to (Figures 15, 16) for LVDS data bit mapping respectively.
