PRODUCTION DATA
The Serializer and Deserializer are to be used in point-to-point configuration, through a PCB trace, or through twisted pair cable. In a point-to-point configuration, the transmission media needs be terminated at both ends of the transmitter and receiver pair. Interconnect for LVDS typically has a differential impedance of 100Ω. Use cables and connectors that have matched differential impedance to minimize impedance discontinuities. In most applications that involve cables, the transmission distance is determined on data rates involved, acceptable bit error rate and transmission medium.
The resulting signal quality at the receiving end of the transmission media can be assessed by monitoring the differential eye opening of the serial data stream. The Receiver Input Tolerance and Differential Threshold Voltage specifications define the acceptable data eye opening. A differential probe must be used to measure across the termination resistor at the DS90UR124 inputs. Figure 7-2 illustrates the eye opening and relationship to the Receiver Input Tolerance and Differential Threshold Voltage specifications.
