100 MHz M-LVDS Line Driver/Receiver Pair
General Description
The DS91D180 and DS91C180 are 100 MHz M-LVDS (Mul-
tipoint Low Voltage Differential Signaling) line driver/receiver
pairs designed for applications that utilize multipoint networks
(e.g. clock distribution in ATCA and uTCA based systems).
M-LVDS is a new bus interface standard (TIA/EIA-899) opti-
mized for multidrop networks. Controlled edge rates, tight
input receiver thresholds and increased drive strength are
sone of the key enhancments that make M-LVDS devices an
ideal choice for distributing signals via multipoint networks.
The DS91D180/DS91C180 driver input accepts
LVTTL/LVCMOS signals and converts them to differential M-
LVDS signal levels. The DS91D180/DS91C180 receiver ac-
cepts low voltage differential signals (LVDS, B-LVDS, M-
LVDS, LV-PECL and CML) and converts them to 3V
LVCMOS signals. The DS91D180 device has a M-LVDS type
1 receiver input with no offset.The DS91C180 device has a
type 2 receiver input which enable failsafe functionality.
Features
DC to 100+ MHz / 200+ Mbps low power, low EMI
operation
Optimal for ATCA, uTCA clock distribution networks
Meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-899 M-LVDS Standard
Wide Input Common Mode Voltage for Increased Noise
Immunity
DS91D180 has type 1 receiver input
DS91C180 has type 2 receiver input for fail-safe
functionality
Industrial temperature range
Space saving SOIC-14 package (JEDEC MS-012)

M-LVDS Receiver Types
The EIA/TIA-899 M-LVDS standard specifies two different
types of receiver input stages. A type 1 receiver has a con-
ventional threshold that is centered at the midpoint of the input
amplitude, VID/2. A type 2 receiver has a built in offset that is
100mV greater than VID/2. The type 2 receiver offset acts as
a failsafe circuit where open or short circuits at the input will
always result in the output stage being driven to a low logic
state.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the device should
be operated at these limits. The tables of “Electrical Characteristics” provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 2: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3: All typicals are given for VCC = 3.3V and TA = 25°C.
Note 4: The algebraic convention, in which the least positive (most negative) limit is designated as minimum, is used in this datasheet.
Note 5: tSKD1, |tPLHD − tPHLD|, is the magnitude difference in differential propagation delay time between the positive going edge and the negative going edge of
the same channel.
Note 6: tSKD3, Part-to-Part Skew, is defined as the difference between the minimum and maximum specified differential propagation delays. This specification
applies to devices at the same VCC and within 5°C of each other within the operating temperature range.
Note 7: Stimulus and fixture jitter has been subtracted.
Note 8: CL includes fixture capacitance and CD includes probe capacitance.
Note 9: Not production tested. Guaranteed by a statistical analysis on a sample basis at the time of characterization.
