Fully-integrated Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LDVS) transceiver

Overview

The LVDS Transceiver is a fully integrated Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Analog Front End (AFE) including one flow-through driver and two flow-through receivers.

Key Features

  • fully-integrated Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LDVS) transceiver
  • two flow-through LVDS receivers
  • one flow-through LVDS driver
  • upstream and downstream bit rates up to 500 Mbit/s
  • straightforward output stream synchronization through an external sampling clock
  • power-supply voltage range: core side: nominal core supply voltage ±10%; I/O side: nominal I/O supply voltage ±10%
  • characteristics of a 90 nm implementation: core side voltage: 1.2 V ±10%; I/O side voltage: 1.8 V ±10%; operating current: 4 mA per receiver & 8 mA per driver (500 Mbit/s; Cload=10pF); standby current lower than 250 µA; silicon area smaller than 0.32 mm²
  • silicon proven in a 90 nm CMOS process
