DS90LV001
3.3V LVDS-LVDS Buffer
General Description
An output enable pin is provided, which allows the user to
place the LVDS output in TRI-STATE.
The DS90LV001 LVDS-LVDS Buffer takes an LVDS input
signal and provides an LVDS output signal. In many large
systems, signals are distributed across backplanes, and one
of the limiting factors for system speed is the ’stub length’ or
the distance between the transmission line and the untermi-
nated receivers on individual cards. Although it is generally
recognized that this distance should be as short as possible
to maximize system performance, real-world packaging con-
cerns often make it difficult to make the stubs as short as the
designer would like.
The DS90LV001 is offered in two package options, an 8 pin
LLP and SOIC.

The DS90LV001, available in the LLP (Leadless Leadframe
Package) package, will allow the receiver to be placed very
close to the main transmission line, thus improving system
performance.
A wide input dynamic range will allow the DS90LV001 to
receive differential signals from LVPECL as well as LVDS
sources. This will allow the device to also fill the role of an
LVPECL-LVDS translator.
