(1) The signaling rate of a line, is the number of voltage
transitions that are made per second expressed in the units
bps (bits per second).
DESCRIPTION
The SN65MLVD040 provides four half-duplex transceivers for transmitting and receiving Multipoint-Low-Voltage
Differential Signals in full compliance with the TIA/EIA-899 (M-LVDS) standard, which are optimized to operate at
signaling rates up to 250 Mbps. The driver outputs have been designed to support multipoint buses presenting
loads as low as 30-Ω and incorporates controlled transition times to allow for stubs off of the backplane
transmission line.
The M-LVDS standard defines two types of receivers, designated as Type-1 and Type-2. Type-1 receivers have
thresholds centered about zero with 25 mV of hysteresis to prevent output oscillations with loss of input; Type-2
receivers implement a failsafe by using an offset threshold. The xFSEN pins is used to select the Type-1 and
Type-2 receiver for each of the channels. In addition, the driver rise and fall times are between 1 ns and 2 ns,
complying with the M-LVDS standard to provide operation at 250 Mbps while also accommodating stubs on the
bus. Receiver outputs are slew rate controlled to reduce EMI and crosstalk effects associated with large current
surges. The M-LVDS standard allows for 32 nodes on the bus providing a high-speed replacement for RS-485
where lower common-mode can be tolerated or when higher signaling rates are needed.
