DS90LV804
4-Channel 800 Mbps LVDS Buffer/Repeater
General Description
The DS90LV804 is a four channel 800 Mbps LVDS buffer/
repeater. In many large systems, signals are distributed
across cables and signal integrity is highly dependent on the
data rate, cable type, length, and the termination scheme. In
order to maximize signal integrity, the DS90LV804 features
both an internal input and output (source) termination to
eliminate these extra components from the board, and to
also place the terminations as close as possible to receiver
inputs and driver output. This is especially significant when
driving longer cables.
The DS90LV804, available in the LLP (Leadless Leadframe
Package) package, minimizes the footprint, and improves
system performance.
An output enable pin is provided, which allows the user to
place the LVDS outputs and internal biasing generators in a
TRI-STATE, low power mode.
The differential inputs interface to LVDS, and Bus LVDS
signals such as those on National's 10-, 16-, and 18- bit Bus
LVDS SerDes, as well as CML and LVPECL. The differential
inputs are internally terminated with a 100
resistor to im-
prove performance and minimize board space. This function
function is especially useful for boosting signals over lossy
cables or point-to-point backplane configurations.

Ground reference for LVDS and CMOS circuitry. For the LLP package, the DAP is
used as the primary GND connection to the device. The DAP is the exposed metal
contact at the bottom of the LLP-32 package. It should be connected to the ground
plane with at least 4 vias for optimal AC and thermal performance. The pin numbers
listed should also be tied to ground for proper biasing.

Note 1: Note that for the LLP package the GND is connected thru the DAP on the back side of the LLP package in addition to grounding actual pins on the package
as listed.
Note 2: The LVDS outputs do not support a multidrop (BLVDS) environment. The LVDS output characteristics of the DS90LV804 device have been optimized for
point-to-point backplane and cable applications.

Feature Descriptions
INTERNAL TERMINATIONS
The DS90LV804 has integrated termination resistors on both
the input and outputs. The inputs have a 100
resistor
across the differential pair, placing the receiver termination
as close as possible to the input stage of the device. The
LVDS outputs also contain an integrated 100
ohm termi-
nation resistor, this resistor is used to reduce the effects of
Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) and does not take the place of
the 100 ohm termination at the inputs to the receiving device.
The integrated terminations improve signal integrity and de-
crease the external component count resulting in space
savings.
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
The output characteristics of the DS90LV804 have been
optimized for point-to-point backplane and cable applica-
tions, and are not intended for multipoint or multidrop signal-
ing.
TRI-STATE MODE
The EN input activates a hardware TRI-STATE mode. When
the TRI-STATE mode is active (EN=L), all input and output
buffers and internal bias circuitry are powered off and dis-
abled. Outputs are tri-stated in TRI-STATE mode. When
exiting TRI-STATE mode, there is a delay associated with
turning on bandgap references and input/output buffer cir-
cuits as indicated in the LVDS Output Switching Character-
istics
INPUT FAILSAFE BIASING
External pull up and pull down resistors may be used to
provide enough of an offset to enable an input failsafe under
open-circuit conditions. This configuration ties the positive
LVDS input pin to V
DD
thru a pull up resistor and the negative
LVDS input pin is tied to GND by a pull down resistor. The
pull up and pull down resistors should be in the 5k
to 15k
range to minimize loading and waveform distortion to the
driver. The common-mode bias point ideally should be set to
approximately 1.2V (less than 1.75V) to be compatible with
the internal circuitry. Please refer to application note AN-
1194 "Failsafe Biasing of LVDS Interfaces" for more informa-
tion.

Packaging Information
The Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) is a leadframe
based chip scale package (CSP) that may enhance chip
speed, reduce thermal impedance, and reduce the printed
circuit board area required for mounting. The small size and
very low profile make this package ideal for high density
PCBs used in small-scale electronic applications such as
cellular phones, pagers, and handheld PDAs. The LLP pack-
age is offered in the no Pullback configuration. In the no
Pullback configuration the standard solder pads extend and
terminate at the edge of the package. This feature offers a
visible solder fillet after board mounting.
The LLP has the following advantages:
Low thermal resistance
Reduced electrical parasitics
Improved board space efficiency
Reduced package height
Reduced package mass
For more details about LLP packaging technology, refer to
applications note AN-1187, "Leadless Leadframe Package"
