1.5 Gbps 1:4 LVDS Repeater
General Description
The DS10BR254 is a 1.5 Gbps 1:4 LVDS repeater optimized
for high-speed signal routing and distribution over FR-4 print-
ed circuit board backplanes and balanced cables. Fully dif-
ferential signal paths ensure exceptional signal integrity and
noise immunity.
The device has two different LVDS input channels and a se-
lect pin determines which input is active. A loss-of-signal
(LOS) circuit monitors both input channels and a unique
LOS pin is asserted when no signal is detected at that input.
Wide input common mode range allows the switch to accept
signals with LVDS, CML and LVPECL levels; the output levels
are LVDS. A very small package footprint requires a minimal
space on the board while the flow-through pinout allows easy
board layout. Each differential input and output is internally
terminated with a 100 resistor to lower device return losses,
reduce component count and further minimize board space.
Features
DC - 1.5 Gbps low jitter, low skew, low power operation
Wide Input Common Mode Voltage Range allows for DC-
coupled interface to LVDS, CML and LVPECL drivers
Redundant inputs
LOS circuitry detects open inputs fault condition
Integrated 100 input and output terminations
8 kV ESD on LVDS I/O pins protects adjoining
components
Small 6 mm x 6 mm LLP-40 space saving package
Applications

Input Interfacing
The DS10BR254 accepts differential signals and allows sim-
ple AC or DC coupling. With a wide common mode range, the
DS10BR254 can be DC-coupled with all common differential
drivers (i.e. LVPECL, LVDS, CML). The following three fig-
ures illustrate typical DC-coupled interface to common differ-
ential drivers. Note that the DS10BR254 inputs are internally
terminated with a 100Ω resistor.

Output Interfacing
The DS10BR254 outputs signals compliant to the LVDS stan-
dard. Its outputs can be DC-coupled to most common differ-
ential receivers. The following figure illustrates typical DC-
coupled interface to common differential receivers and
assumes that the receivers have high impedance inputs.
While most differential receivers have a common mode input
range that can accomodate LVDS compliant signals, it is rec-
ommended to check respective receiver's data sheet prior to
implementing the suggested interface implementation.
