DESCRIPTION
The DS91M040 is a quad M-LVDS transceiver
designed for driving / receiving clock or data signals
to / from up to four multipoint networks.
M-LVDS (Multipoint LVDS) is a new family of bus
interface devices based on LVDS technology
specifically designed for multipoint and multidrop
cable and backplane applications. It differs from
standard LVDS in providing increased drive current to
handle double terminations that are required in multi-
point applications. Controlled transition times
minimize reflections that are common in multipoint
configurations due to unterminated stubs. M-LVDS
devices also have a very large input common mode
voltage range for additional noise margin in heavily
loaded and noisy backplane environments.
A single DS91M040 channel is a half-duplex
transceiver that accepts LVTTL/LVCMOS signals at
the driver inputs and converts them to differential M-
LVDS signal levels. The receiver inputs accept low
voltage differential signals (LVDS, BLVDS, M-LVDS,
LVPECL and CML) and convert them to 3V LVCMOS
signals. The DS91M040 supports both M-LVDS type
1 and type 2 receiver inputs.
