High-Speed Differential Line Drivers
Features
Description
• Ten line drivers meet or exceed the requirements of
ThePI90LV3811and PI90LVB3811consistof tendifferentialline
drivers that implement the electrical characteristics of low-voltage
differentialsignaling(LVDS). Thissignalingtechniquelowers out-
put voltage levels to reduce the power, increase switching speeds,
andallowoperationwitha3Vsupplyrail. Any current-modeLVDS
driverwilldeliveraminimumdifferential outputvoltagemagnitude
of 247mV into a 100-Ohm load (PI90LV3811) or 50-Ohm load

• Designed for signaling rates up to 660 Mbps with very
lowradiation(EMI)
• Low voltage differential signaling with typical output

100-ohmload(PI90LV3811)
50-ohmload(PI90LVB3811)
• Propagation delay times less than 2.9ns
• Output skew is less than 150ps
The intended application of this device and signaling technique
is for point-to-point baseband (single termination) and multipoint
(doubletermination)datatransmission overacontrolledimpedance

used with its companion 10-channel receivers, the PI90LV3810 or
PI90LVR3810, over 300 million data transfers per second in single-
edge clocked systems are possible with very little power.
• Part-to-part skew is less than 1.5ns
• 35mW total power dissipation in each driver operating
at200MHz
• Driver is high impedance when disabled or with V <1.5V

(Note: The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer is dependent
upon attenuation characteristics of the media, the noise coupling to
the environment, and other system characteristics.)
