PRODUCTION DATA
For DC coupled operation of an LVDS driver, terminate with 100Ω as close as possible to the LVDS receiver as shown in Figure 9-6.
Figure 9-6 Differential LVDS Operation, DC Coupling, No Biasing by the ReceiverFor DC coupled operation of an HCSL driver, terminate with 50Ω to ground near the driver output as shown in Figure 9-7. Series resistors, Rs, can be used to limit overshoot due to the fast transient current. Because HCSL drivers require a DC path to ground, AC coupling is not allowed between the output drivers and the 50Ω termination resistors.
Figure 9-7 HCSL Operation, DC CouplingFor DC coupled operation of an LVPECL driver, terminate with 50Ω to Vcco - 2V as shown in Figure 9-8. Alternatively terminate with a Thevenin equivalent circuit as shown in Figure 9-9 for Vcco (output driver supply voltage) = 3.3V and 2.5V. In the Thevenin equivalent circuit, the resistor dividers set the output termination voltage (VTT) to Vcco - 2V.
