DESCRIPTION

The DS25BR440 is a 3.125 Gbps Quad LVDS buffer

optimized for high-speed signal routing and repeating

over lossy FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and

balanced cables. Fully differential signal paths ensure

exceptional signal integrity and noise immunity.

The DS25BR440 features two levels of transmit pre-

emphasis (PE) and two levels of receive equalization

(EQ). Both of these features compensate for

interconnect losses and ultimately maximize noise

margin. A loss-of-signal (LOS) circuit monitors each

input channel and a unique LOS pin is asserted when

no signal is detected at that input.

Wide input common mode range allows the switch to

accept signals with LVDS, CML and LVPECL levels;

the output levels are LVDS. A very small package

footprint requires a minimal space on the board while

the flow-through pinout allows easy board layout.

Each differential input and output is internally

terminated with a 100Ω resistor to lower device return

losses, reduce component count and further minimize

board space.
