1 General Description
The AS1156/AS115 4 is a Single/Dual Flow-Through
LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) Line Driver
which accepts and converts LVTTL/LVCMOS input lev-
els into LVDS output signals. The device is perfect for
low-power low-noise applicati ons requiring high signal-
ing rates and reduced EMI emissions.
The device is guaranteed to transmit data at speeds up
to 800Mbps (400MHz) over controlled impedance media
of approximately 100Ω. Supported transmission media
are PCB traces, backplanes, and cables.
The AS1156 is a single LVDS transmitter, and the
AS1154 is a dual LVDS transmitter.
Outputs conform to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS stan-
dards. Flow-through pino ut simplifies PC board layo ut
and reduces crosstalk by separating the LVTTL/LVC-
MOS inputs and LVDS outputs.
The AS1156/AS1154 operates from a single +3.3V sup-
ply and is specified for operation from -40 to +85°C.

Data Sheet L VDS Interface
8 Detailed Description
LVDS Interface
The LVDS interface standard is a signaling method intended for point-to-point communication over a controlled-imped-
ance medium as defined by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 and IEEE 1596.3 standards. The LVDS standard uses a lower volt-
age swing than other common communication standards, achieving higher data rates with reduced power
consumption while reducing EMI emissions and system susceptibility to noise.
The AS1156/AS1154 is an 800Mbps single/dual differential LVDS driver that is designed for high-speed, point-to-point,
low-power applications. This device accepts LVTTL/LVCMOS input levels and translates them to LVDS output signals.
The AS1156/AS1154 gen erates a 2.5mA to 4.5mA output current using a current-steering configuration. This current
steering approach induces less ground bounce and no shoot-through current, enhancing noise margin and system
speed performance. The driver outputs are short-circuit current limited, and enter a high-impedance state when the
device is not powe red or is disabled.
The current-steering architecture of the AS1156/AS1154 requires a resistive load to terminate the signal and complete
the transmission loop. Because the device switches current and not voltage, the actual ou tput voltage swing is deter-
mined by the value of the termination resistor at the input of an LVDS receiver (AS1157, AS1158). Logic states are
determined by the directio n of curren t flow through the termination resistor.
With a typical 3.7mA output current, the AS1156/AS1154 produces an output voltage of 370mV when driving a 100Ω
load.
Termination
Because the AS1156/AS1154 is a current-steering device, no output voltage will be generate d without a termination
resistor. The termination resistors should match the differential impedance of the transmission line. Output voltage lev-
els depend upon the value of the termination resistor.
The AS1156/AS1154 is optimized for point-to-point interface with 100Ω termination resistors at the receiver inputs. Ter-
mination resistance values may range between 90 and132Ω, depending on the characteristic impedance of the trans-
mission medium.

Data Sheet Power-Supply Bypassing
9 Applications
Figure 19. Typical Application Circuit
Power-Supply Bypassing
To bypass VCC, use high-frequency surface-mount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF capacitors in parallel as close to the
device as possible, with the smaller valued capacitor closest to pin VCC.
Differential Traces
Input trace characteristics can adversely affect the performance of the AS1156/AS1154.
!Use controlled-impedance PC board traces to match the cable characteristic impedance. The termination resistor is
also matched to this characteristic impedance.
!Eliminate reflections and ensure that noise couples as common mode by running the differential traces near each
other.
!Reduce skew by using matched trace lengths. T ight skew control is required to minimize emissions and proper data
recovery of the devices.
!Route each channel’s differential signals very close to each other for optimal cancellation of their respective exter-
nal magnetic fields. Use a constant distance between the differential traces to avoid irregularities in differential
impedance.
!Avoid 90° turns (use two 45° turns).
!Minimize the number of vias to further prevent impedance irregularities.
Cables and Connectors
Supported transmission media include prin ted circuit board traces, backplanes, and cables.
!Use cables and connectors with matched differential impedance (typically 100Ω) to minimize impedance mis-
matches.
!Balanced cables such as twisted pair offer superior signal quality and tend to generate less EMI due to magnetic
field canceling effects. Balanced cables pick up noise as common mode, which is rejected by the LVDS receiver.
!Avoid the use of unbalanced cables such as ribbon cable or simple coaxial cable.

Board Layout
The device should be placed as close to the interface connector as possible to minimize LVDS trace length.
!Keep the LVDS and any other digital signals separated from each other to reduce crosstalk.
!Use a four-layer PC board that provides separate power, ground, LVDS signals, and input signals.
!Isolate the input LVDS signa ls from each other and the output LVCMOS/LVTTL sign als from each other to prevent
coupling.
!Separate the input LV DS signals from the output signals planes with the power and ground planes for best results.
