A jumper (JMP1) has been provided on the board if
the transmitter common mode voltage does not meet the DS90LVRA2 receiver common mode
voltage requirement. In this case, do the following:
- Replace R3, R4, R5, and R6 with AC coupling
capacitors. The value of AC coupling capacitors depends on the operating
frequency, as it needs to block the DC component, but look like a short circuit
for the AC component
- Populate L1
- Populate R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, and
R19
- Remove JMp1
- Provide the appropriate VCC_TERM such that it
restores the DS90LVRA2 receiver DC common mode voltage to 1.2 V which is in the
middle of the input common mode range for a standard LVDS receiver.
For more detailed information about DC and AC
coupling LVDS receivers, refer to the How to Terminate LVDS Connections wth DC
and AC Coupling application note.
