LVDS Type Driver Terminations
An LVDS type driver does not require board-level pull-down resistors. A typical termination with DC coupling for an
LVDS type driver is displayed in
. A termination with AC coupling example is shown in

DC Coupling Interface for QREF Driver
The 8V19N49x QREF driver can be programmed to be an LVPECL or LVDS style driver. When programmed to an
LVPECL style driver, the output is an open-emitter type driver and can be terminated in a similar way as the
LVPECL termination (i.e., 50 Ohm to VTT or equivalence). When the QREF driver is programmed to an LVDS
style driver, the driver can be terminated as an LVDS driver (i.e., 100Ohm across). The output signals are not
quite same as standard LVPECL or LVDS. The amplitude can be programmed to different amplitude levels,
250mV, 500mV, 750mV, and 1000mV. The DC offset is about ~2V for both LVPECL and LVDS driver. 2V DC offset
is close the standard LVPECL signal; however, 8V19N490 LVDS DC offset is about 2V which is not standard. In
some applications, the receiver requires lower DC offset level with DC coupling interface. This section provides
several termination solution examples to shift down the DC offset to level using the DC coupling interface.
4.2.3.1
Receiver with High Input Impedance (No Built-in Termination)
shows an example of a DC coupling interface. In this example, the receiver is high-input impedance
without a built-in termination. The 8V19N490 driver is programmed to be an LVPECL style driver with 750mV
amplitude. The DC offset level is shifted down to approximately 1.2V and the amplitude is reduced to 400mV,
which is same signal of a standard LVDS level.
