General Description
The DS3890 and DS3898 are designed specifically to over-
come problems associated with driving densely populated
backplanes. These products provide significant improve-
ment in both speed and data integrity in comparison to con-
ventional bus drivers and receivers. Their low output capaci-
tance, low voltage swing and noise immunity features make
them ideal for driving low impedance busses with minimum
power dissipation.
This is achieved by terminating the bus with a pull up resis-
tor. Both devices can drive an equivalent DC load of 18.5X
(or greater) in the defined configuration.

Features
Y
Driver output capacitance less than 5 pF
Y
1 volt bus signal reduces power consumption
The DS3890 features an open collector outputs that gener-
ate precise trapezoidal waveforms with typical rise and fall
times of 6 ns which are relatively independent of capacitive
loading conditions. These controlled output characteristics
significantly reduce noise coupling to adjacent lines.

schottky diode in series with the open collector outputs that
isolates the driver output capacitance in the disabled state.
With this type of configuration the output low voltage is typi-
cally ‘‘1V’’. The output high level is intended to be 2 volts.
