LVDS Transceiver

OT3910bj is a set of cells designed for implementing the transmitter, receiver and associated bias function for LVDS point to point communication on the ams aH18 process. Compatible power pads are also provided.

The transmit driver cell translates 1.8V core logic signal levels to LVDS levels with a typical differential output swing of 350mV. The receiver cell translates LVDS levels, with a typical differential input threshold of of above 100mV, to 1.8V core logic signal levels. A reference cell is also provided to produce appropriate bias currents voltage reference signals for the transmit and receive cells.
