3 Description
The DS90LV031A is a quad CMOS differential line
driver designed for applications requiring ultra low
power dissipation and high data rates. The device is
designed to support data rates in excess of 400 Mbps
(200 MHz) using Low Voltage Differential Signaling
(LVDS) technology.
The DS90LV031A accepts low voltage LVTTL or
LVCMOS input levels and translates them to low
voltage (350 mV) differential output signals. In
addition the driver supports a TRI-STATE®function
that may be used to disable the output stage,
disabling the load current, and thus dropping the
device to an ultra low idle power state of 13 mW
typical.
The EN and EN* inputs allow active Low or active
High control of the TRI-STATE outputs. The enables
are common to all four drivers. The DS90LV031A and
companion line receiver (DS90LV032A) provide a
new alternative to high power psuedo-ECL devices
for high speed point-to-point interface applications.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as
is shown in Figure 9. This configuration provides a clean signaling environment for the quick edge rates of the
drivers. The receiver is connected to the driver through a balanced media which may be a standard twisted pair
cable, a parallel pair cable, or simply PCB traces. Typically, the characteristic differential impedance of the media
is in the range of 100 Ω. A termination resistor of 100 Ωmust be selected to match the media, and is located as
close to the receiver input pins as possible. The termination resistor converts the current sourced by the driver
into a voltage that is detected by the receiver. Other configurations are possible such as a multi-receiver
configuration, but the effects of a mid-stream connector(s), cable stub(s), and other impedance discontinuities as
well as ground shifting, noise margin limits, and total termination loading must be considered.
The DS90LV031A differential line driver is a balanced current source design. A current mode driver, generally
speaking has a high output impedance and supplies a constant current for a range of loads (a voltage mode
driver on the other hand supplies a constant voltage for a range of loads). Current is switched through the load in
one direction to produce a logic state and in the other direction to produce the other logic state. The output
current is typically 3.5 mA, a minimum of 2.5 mA, and a maximum of 4.5 mA. The current mode requires (as
discussed above) that a resistive termination be employed to terminate the signal and to complete the loop as
shown in Figure 9. AC or unterminated configurations are not allowed. The 3.5-mA loop current develops a
differential voltage of 350 mV across the 100-Ωtermination resistor which the receiver detects with a 250-mV
minimum differential noise margin neglecting resistive line losses (driven signal minus receiver threshold
(350 mV – 100 mV = 250 mV)). The signal is centered around 1.2 V (Driver Offset, VOS) with respect to ground
as shown in Figure 8. Note that the steady-state voltage (VSS) peak-to-peak swing is twice the differential voltage
(VOD) and is typically 700 mV.
The current mode driver provides substantial benefits over voltage mode drivers, such as an RS-422 driver. Its
quiescent current remains relatively flat versus switching frequency. Whereas the RS-422 voltage mode driver
increases exponentially in most case between 20 MHz to 50 MHz. This is due to the overlap current that flows
between the rails of the device when the internal gates switch. Whereas the current mode driver switches a fixed
current between its output without any substantial overlap current. This is similar to some ECL and PECL
devices, but without the heavy static ICC requirements of the ECL or PECL designs. LVDS requires >80% less
current than similar PECL devices. AC specifications for the driver are a tenfold improvement over other existing
RS-422 drivers.
The TRI-STATE function allows the driver outputs to be disabled, thus obtaining an even lower power state when
the transmission of data is not required.
The footprint of the DS90LV031A is the same as the industry standard 26LS31 Quad Differential (RS-422) Driver
and is a step-down replacement for the 5-V DS90C031 Quad Driver.

8.3.1 Fail-Safe LVDS Interface
If the LVDS link as shown in Figure 9 needs to support the case where the Line Driver is disabled, powered off,
or removed (unplugged) and the Receiver device is powered on and enabled, the state of the LVDS bus is
unknown and therefore the output state of the Receiver is also unknown. If this is of concern, consult the
respective LVDS Receiver data sheet for guidance on Fail-safe Biasing options for the LVDS interface to set a
known state on the inputs for these conditions.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The DS90LV031A has a flow-through pinout that allows for easy PCB layout. The LVDS signals on one side of
the device easily allows for matching electrical lengths of the differential pair trace lines between the driver and
the receiver as well as allowing the trace lines to be close together to couple noise as common-mode. Noise
isolation is achieved with the LVDS signals on one side of the device and the TTL signals on the other side.
See Related Documentation for general application guidelines and hints for LVDS drivers and receivers.
9.2 Typical Application
Figure 9. Point-to-Point Application
9.2.1 Design Requirements
When using LVDS devices, it is important to remember to specify controlled impedance PCB traces, cable
assemblies, and connectors. All components of the transmission media must have a matched differential
impedance of about 100 Ω. They must not introduce major impedance discontinuities.
Balanced cables (for example, twisted pair) are usually better than unbalanced cables (ribbon cable) for noise
reduction and signal quality. Balanced cables tend to generate less EMI due to field canceling effects and also
tend to pick up electromagnetic radiation as common-mode (not differential mode) noise which is rejected by the
LVDS receiver.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Probing LVDS Transmission Lines
Always use high impedance (>100 kΩ), low capacitance (<2 pF) scope probes with a wide bandwidth (1 GHz)
scope. Improper probing gives deceiving results.
9.2.2.2 Cables and Connectors, General Comments
When choosing cable and connectors for LVDS it is important to remember:
Use controlled impedance media. The cables and connectors you use must have a matched differential
impedance of about 100 Ω. They must not introduce major impedance discontinuities.
Balanced cables (for example, twisted pair) are usually better than unbalanced cables (such as ribbon cable or
simple coax) for noise reduction and signal quality. Balanced cables tend to generate less EMI due to field
canceling effects and also tend to pick up electromagnetic radiation as common-mode (not differential mode)
noise which is rejected by the receiver. For cable distances < 0.5 m, most cables can be made to work
effectively. For distances 0.5 m ≤d≤10 m, Category 3 (CAT 3) twisted pair cable works well, is readily available,
and relatively inexpensive.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Although the DS90LV031A draws very little power, at higher switching frequencies there is a small dynamic
current component which increases the overall power consumption. The DS90LV031A power supply design must
include local decoupling capacitance to maintain optimal device performance at higher data rates.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
• Use at least 4 PCB layers (top to bottom): LVDS signals, ground, power, and TTL signals.
• Isolate TTL signals from LVDS signals, otherwise the TTL may couple onto the LVDS lines. It is best to put
TTL and LVDS signals on different layers which are isolated by power or ground plane(s).
• Keep drivers and receivers as close to the (LVDS port side) connectors as possible.
11.1.1 Power Decoupling Recommendations
Bypass capacitors must be used on power pins. High frequency ceramic (surface-mount recommended) 0.1-µF
in parallel with 0.01-µF, in parallel with 0.001-µF at the power supply pin as well as scattered capacitors over the
printed-circuit board. Multiple vias must be used to connect the decoupling capacitors to the power planes. A
10‑µF, 35-V (or greater) solid tantalum capacitor must be connected at the power entry point on the printed-
circuit board.
11.1.2 Differential Traces
Use controlled impedance traces which match the differential impedance of your transmission medium (that is,
cable) and termination resistor. Run the differential pair trace lines as close together as possible as soon as they
leave the IC (stubs must be < 10 mm long). This helps eliminate reflections and ensure noise is coupled as
common-mode. Lab experiments show that differential signals which are 1 mm apart radiate far less noise than
traces 3 mm apart because magnetic field cancellation is greater with the closer traces. Plus, noise induced on
the differential lines is much more likely to appear as common-mode which is rejected by the receiver.
Match electrical lengths between traces to reduce skew. Skew between the signals of a pair means a phase
difference between signals which destroys the magnetic field cancellation benefits of differential signals and
results in EMI. Note the velocity of propagation, v = c/Er where c (the speed of light) = 0.2997 mm/ps or 0.0118
in/ps. Do not rely solely on the auto-route function for differential traces. Carefully review dimensions to match
differential impedance and provide isolation for the differential lines. Minimize the number of vias and other
discontinuities on the line.
Avoid 90° turns (these cause impedance discontinuities). Use arcs or 45° bevels.
Within a pair of traces, the distance between the two traces must be minimized to maintain common-mode
rejection of the receivers. On the printed-circuit board, this distance must remain constant to avoid discontinuities
in differential impedance. Minor violations at connection points are allowable.
11.1.3 Termination
Use a resistor which best matches the differential impedance of your transmission line. The resistor must be
between 90 Ωand 130 Ω. Remember that the current mode outputs need the termination resistor to generate the
differential voltage. LVDS will not work without resistor termination. Typically, connect a single resistor across the
pair at the receiver end.
Surface-mount 1% to 2% resistors are best. PCB stubs, component lead, and the distance from the termination
to the receiver inputs must be minimized. The distance between the termination resistor and the receiver must be
< 10 mm (12 mm maximum).

information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
