APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
www.ti.com
The DS90CR481/DS90CR482 chipset is improved over prior generations of Channel Link devices and offers
higher bandwidth support and longer cable drive with three areas of enhancement. To increase bandwidth, the
maximum clock rate is increased to 112 MHz and 8 serialized LVDS outputs are provided. Cable drive is
enhanced with a user selectable pre-emphasis feature that provides additional output current during transitions to
counteract cable loading effects. This requires the use of one pull up resistor to Vcc; please refer to Table 1 to
set the level needed. Optional DC balancing on a cycle-to-cycle basis, is also provided to reduce ISI (Inter-
Symbol Interference). With pre-emphasis and DC balancing, a low distortion eye-pattern is provided at the
receiver end of the cable. A cable deskew capability has been added to deskew long cables of pair-to-pair skew
of up to ±1 LVDS data bit time (up to 80 MHz clock rates). For details on deskew, refer to the Deskew section
below. These three enhancements allow cables 5+ meters in length to be driven depending upon media and
clock rate.
The DS90CR481/482 chipset may also be used in a non-DC Balance mode. In this mode pre-emphasis is
supported. In this mode, the chipset is also compatible with 21 and 28-bit Channel Link Receivers. See Figure 16
for the LVDS mapping.
NEW FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Pre-emphasis
Adds extra current during LVDS logic transition to reduce the cable loading effects. Pre-emphasis strength is set
via a DC voltage level applied from min to max (0.75V to Vcc) at the “PRE” pin. A higher input voltage on the
”PRE” pin increases the magnitude of dynamic current during data transition. The “PRE” pin requires one pull-up
resistor (Rpre) to Vcc in order to set the DC level. There is an internal resistor network, which cause a voltage
drop. Please refer to the tables below to set the voltage level.
The waveshape at the Receiver input should not exhibit over or undershoot with the proper amount of pre-
emphasis set. Too much pre-emphasis generates excess noise and increases power dissipation. Cables less
than 2 meters in length typically do not require pre-emphasis.

(1) This is based on testing with standard shield twisted pair cable. The amount of pre-emphasis will vary
depending on the type of cable, length and operating frequency.
DC Balance
In addition to data information an additional bit is transmitted on every LVDS data signal line during each cycle
as shown in Figure 15. This bit is the DC balance bit (DCBAL). The purpose of the DC Balance bit is to minimize
the short- and long-term DC bias on the signal lines. This is achieved by selectively sending the data either
unmodified or inverted.
