TRANSMISSION MEDIA
The Serializer and Deserializer can be used in point-to-point
configuration, through a PCB trace, or through twisted pair
cable. In a point-to-point configuration, the transmission me-
dia needs be terminated at both ends of the transmitter and
receiver pair. Interconnect for LVDS typically has a differential
impedance of 100 Ohms. Use cables and connectors that
have matched differential impedance to minimize impedance
discontinuities. In most applications that involve cables, the
transmission distance will be determined on data rates in-
volved, acceptable bit error rate and transmission medium.
LIVE LINK INSERTION
The Serializer and Deserializer devices support live plug-
gable applications. The “Hot Inserted” operation on the serial
interface does not disrupt communication data on the active
data lines. The automatic receiver lock to random data “plug
& go” live insertion capability allows the DS99R104 to attain
lock to the active data stream during a live insertion event.
PCB LAYOUT AND POWER SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
Circuit board layout and stack-up for the LVDS SERDES de-
vices should be designed to provide low-noise power feed to
the device. Good layout practice will also separate high fre-
quency or high-level inputs and outputs to minimize unwanted
stray noise pickup, feedback and interference. Power system
performance may be greatly improved by using thin di-
electrics (2 to 4 mils) for power / ground sandwiches. This
arrangement provides plane capacitance for the PCB power
system with low-inductance parasitics, which has proven es-
pecially effective at high frequencies, and makes the value
and placement of external bypass capacitors less critical. Ex-
ternal bypass capacitors should include both RF ceramic and
tantalum electrolytic types. RF capacitors may use values in
the range of 0.01 uF to 0.1 uF. Tantalum capacitors may be
in the 2.2 uF to 10 uF range. Voltage rating of the tantalum
capacitors should be at least 5X the power supply voltage
being used.
Surface mount capacitors are recommended due to their
smaller parasitics. When using multiple capacitors per supply
pin, locate the smaller value closer to the pin. A large bulk
capacitor is recommend at the point of power entry. This is
typically in the 50uF to 100uF range and will smooth low fre-
quency switching noise. It is recommended to connect power
and ground pins directly to the power and ground planes with
bypass capacitors connected to the plane with via on both
ends of the capacitor. Connecting power or ground pins to an
external bypass capacitor will increase the inductance of the
path.
A small body size X7R chip capacitor, such as 0603, is rec-
ommended for external bypass. Its small body size reduces

the parasitic inductance of the capacitor. The user must pay
attention to the resonance frequency of these external bypass
capacitors, usually in the range of 20-30 MHz range. To pro-
vide effective bypassing, multiple capacitors are often used
to achieve low impedance between the supply rails over the
frequency of interest. At high frequency, it is also a common
practice to use two vias from power and ground pins to the
planes, reducing the impedance at high frequency.
Some devices provide separate power and ground pins for
different portions of the circuit. This is done to isolate switch-
ing noise effects between different sections of the circuit.
Separate planes on the PCB are typically not required. Pin
Description tables typically provide guidance on which circuit
blocks are connected to which power pin pairs. In some cas-
es, an external filter many be used to provide clean power to
sensitive circuits such as PLLs.
Use at least a four layer board with a power and ground plane.
Locate LVCMOS (LVTTL) signals away from the LVDS lines
to prevent coupling from the LVCMOS lines to the LVDS lines.
Closely-coupled differential lines of 100 Ohms are typically
recommended for LVDS interconnect. The closely coupled
lines help to ensure that coupled noise will appear as com-
mon-mode and thus is rejected by the receivers. The tightly
coupled lines will also radiate less.
Termination of the LVDS interconnect is required. For point-
to-point applications, termination should be located at both
ends of the devices. Nominal value is 100 Ohms to match the
line’s differential impedance. Place the resistor as close to the
transmitter DOUT± outputs and receiver RIN± inputs as pos-
sible to minimize the resulting stub between the termination
resistor and device.

Use 100Ω coupled differential pairs
Use the S/2S/3S rule in spacings
—S = space between the pair
—2S = space between pairs
—3S = space to LVCMOS/LVTTL signal
Minimize the number of VIA
Use differential connectors when operating above
500Mbps line speed
Maintain balance of the traces
Minimize skew within the pair
Terminate as close to the TX outputs and RX inputs as
possible
