LVDS Driver Termination

For a general LVDS interface, the recommended value for the

termination impedance (ZT) is between 90 and 132. The actual

value should be selected to match the differential impedance (Z0) of

your transmission line. A typical point-to-point LVDS design uses a

100

 parallel resistor at the receiver and a 100 differential

transmission-line environment. In order to avoid any

transmission-line reflection issues, the components should be

surface mounted and must be placed as close to the receiver as

possible. IDT offers a full line of LVDS compliant devices with two

types of output structures: current source and voltage source. The

standard termination schematic as shown in Figure 6A can be used

with either type of output structure. Figure 6B, which can also be

used with both output types, is an optional termination with center tap

capacitance to help filter common mode noise. The capacitor value

should be approximately 50pF. If using a non-standard termination, it

is recommended to contact IDT and confirm if the output structure is

current source or voltage source type. In addition, since these

outputs are LVDS compatible, the input receiver’s amplitude and

common-mode input range should be verified for compatibility with

the output.
