DS25BR100 / DS25BR101 3.125 Gbps LVDS Buffer with Transmit Pre-Emphasis and Receive Equalization General Description Features The DS25BR100 and DS25BR101 are single channel 3.125 Gbps LVDS buffers optimized for high-speed signal transmission over lossy FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and balanced metallic cables. Fully differential signal paths ensure exceptional signal integrity and noise immunity. The DS25BR100 and DS25BR101 feature transmit pre-emphasis (PE) and receive equalization (EQ), making them ideal for use as a repeater device. Other LVDS devices with similar IO characteristics include the following products. The DS25BR120 features four levels of pre-emphasis for use as an optimized driver device, while the DS25BR110 features four levels of equalization for use as an optimized receiver device. The DS25BR150 is a buffer/repeater with the lowest power consumption and does not feature transmit pre-emphasis nor receive equalization. Wide input common mode range allows the receiver to accept signals with LVDS, CML and LVPECL levels; the output levels are LVDS. A very small package footprint requires minimal space on the board while the flow-through pinout allows easy board layout. On the DS25BR100 the differential input and output is internally terminated with a 100Ω resistor to lower return losses, reduce component count and further minimize board space. For added design flexibility the 100Ω input terminations on the DS25BR101 have been eliminated. This enables a designer to adjust the termination for custom interconnect topologies and layout. ■ DC - 3.125 Gbps low jitter, high noise immunity, low power operation ■ Receive equalization reduces ISI jitter due to media loss ■ Transmit pre-emphasis drives lossy backplanes and cables ■ On-chip 100Ω input and output termination minimizes insertion and return losses, reduces component count and minimizes board space. The DS25BR101 eliminates the on-chip input termination for added design flexibility. ■ 7 kV ESD on LVDS I/O pins protects adjoining components ■ Small 3 mm x 3 mm LLP-8 space saving package Applications ■ Clock and data buffering ■ Metallic cable driving and equalization ■ FR-4 equalization Typical Application 20179110 © 2009 National Semiconductor Corporation 201791 www.national.com DS25BR100 / DS25BR101 3.125 Gbps LVDS Buffer with Transmit Pre-Emphasis and Receive Equalization August 11, 2009 DS25BR100 / DS25BR101 Device Information Device Function Termination Option Available Signal Conditioning DS25BR100 DS25BR101 Buffer / Repeater Internal 100Ω for LVDS inputs 2 Levels: PE and EQ Buffer / Repeater External termination required 2 Levels: PE and EQ DS25BR110 Receiver Internal 100Ω for LVDS inputs 4 Levels: EQ DS25BR120 Driver Internal 100Ω for LVDS inputs 4 Levels: PE DS25BR150 Buffer / Repeater Internal 100Ω for LVDS inputs None Tape & Reel QTY Package Number Ordering Information NSID Package DS25BR100TSD 8 Lead LLP Package 1000 SDA08A DS25BR100TSDX 8 Lead LLP Package 4500 SDA08A DS25BR101TSD 8 Lead LLP Package 1000 SDA08A DS25BR101TSDX 8 Lead LLP Package 4500 SDA08A Block Diagram 20179101 Note: DS25BR101 eliminates 100Ω input termination.

It is recommended that SMT resistors sized 0402 or smaller be used and the mounting distance to the DS25BR101 pins kept under 200 mils. When using the DS25BR101 in a limited multi-drop topology, any transmission line stubs should be kept very short to minimize any negative effects on signal quality. A single termination resistor or resistor network that matches the differential line impedance should be used. If DS25BR101 input pairs from two separate devices are to be connected to a single differential output, it is recommended that the DS25BR101 devices are mounted directly opposite of each other. One on top of the PCB and the other directly under the first on the bottom of the PCB, this keeps the distance between inputs equal to the PCB thickness. Device Operation INPUT INTERFACING The DS25BR100/101 accepts differential signals and allows simple AC or DC coupling. With a wide common mode range, the DS25BR100/101 can be DC-coupled with all common differential drivers (i.e. LVPECL, LVDS, CML). The following three figures illustrate typical DC-coupled interface to common differential drivers. The DS25BR100 inputs are internally terminated with a 100Ω resistor for optimal device performance, reduced component count, and minimum board space. External input terminations on the DS25BR101 need to be placed as close as possible to the device inputs to achieve equivalent AC per- 20179111 Typical LVDS Driver DC-Coupled Interface to DS25BR100 Input 20179112 Typical CML Driver DC-Coupled Interface to DS25BR100 Input www.national.com 10 DS25BR100 / DS25BR101 20179113 Typical LVPECL Driver DC-Coupled Interface to DS25BR100 Input Note: DS25BR101 requires external 100Ω input termination. 11 www.national.com DS25BR100 / DS25BR101 the receivers have high impedance inputs. While most differential receivers have a common mode input range that can accomodate LVDS compliant signals, it is recommended to check respective receiver's data sheet prior to implementing the suggested interface implementation.
