The DS15BR400/DS15BR401 are four channel LVDS buffer/repeaters capable of data rates of
up to 2 Gbps. High speed data paths and flow-through pinout minimize internal device jitter and
simplify board layout, while pre-emphasis overcomes ISI jitter effects from lossy backplanes and
cables. The differential inputs interface to LVDS, and Bus LVDS signals such as those on TI's 10-,
16-, and 18- bit Bus LVDS SerDes, as well as CML and LVPECL. The differential inputs and outputs of
the DS15BR400 are internally terminated with 100Ω resistors to improve performance and minimize
board space. The DS15BR401 does not have input termination resistors. The repeater function is
especially useful for boosting signals for longer distance transmission over lossy cables and
backplanes.
The DS15BR400/DS15BR401 are powered from a single 3.3V supply and consume 578 mW (typ).
They operate over the full -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and are available in space
saving WQFN-32 and TQFP-48 packages.
