ZHCSP13A september 2021 – june 2023 LMK1D1204P
PRODUCTION DATA
The LMK1D1204P LVDS drivers use CMOS transistors to control the output current. Therefore, proper biasing and termination are required to ensure correct operation of the device and to maximize signal integrity.
The proper LVDS termination for signal integrity over two 50-Ω lines is 100 Ω between the outputs on the receiver end. Either DC-coupled termination or AC-coupled termination can be used for LVDS outputs. TI recommends placing a termination resistor close to the receiver. If the receiver is internally biased to a voltage different than the output common-mode voltage of the LMK1D1204P, AC coupling must be used. If the LVDS receiver has internal 100-Ω termination, external termination must be omitted.
