DS90C241/DS90C124
5-35MHz DC-Balanced 24-Bit LVDS Serializer and
Deserializer
General Description
The DS90C241/DS90C124 Chipset translates a 24-bit paral-
lel bus into a fully transparent data/control LVDS serial stream
with embedded clock information. This single serial stream
simplifies transferring a 24-bit bus over PCB traces and cable
by eliminating the skew problems between parallel data and
clock paths. It saves system cost by narrowing data paths that
in turn reduce PCB layers, cable width, and connector size
and pins.
The DS90C241/DS90C124 incorporates LVDS signaling on
the high-speed I/O. LVDS provides a low power and low noise
environment for reliably transferring data over a serial trans-
mission path. By optimizing the serializer output edge rate for
the operating frequency range EMI is further reduced.
In addition the device features pre-emphasis to boost signals
over longer distances using lossy cables. Internal DC bal-
anced encoding/decoding is used to support AC-Coupled
interconnects.
Features
■ 5 MHz–35 MHz clock embedded and DC-Balancing 24:1
and 1:24 data transmissions
■ User defined Pre-Emphasis driving ability through external
resistor on LVDS outputs and capable to drive up to 10
meters shielded twisted-pair cable
■ User selectable clock edge for parallel data on both
Transmitter and Receiver
■ Internal DC Balancing encode/decode – Supports AC-
coupling interface with no external coding required
■ Individual power-down controls for both Transmitter and
Receiver
■ Embedded clock CDR (clock and data recovery) on
Receiver and no external source of reference clock
needed
■ All codes RDL (random data lock) to support live-
pluggable applications
■ LOCK output flag to ensure data integrity at Receiver side
■ Balanced TSETUP/THOLD between RCLK and RDATA on
Receiver side
■ PTO (progressive turn-on) LVCMOS outputs to reduce
EMI and minimize SSO effects
■ All LVCMOS inputs and control pins have internal
pulldown
■ On-chip filters for PLLs on Transmitter and Receiver
■ Temperature range –40°C to +105°C
■ Greater than 8 kV HBM ESD tolerant
■ Meets AEC-Q100 compliance
■ Power supply range 3.3V ± 10%
■ 48-pin TQFP package
