CDCLVD1212: what will happen is no termination 100 ohm resistor on input of cdclvd1212

Part Number: CDCLVD1212

Dear E2E,

what will happen is no termination 100 ohm resistor on input of cdclvd1212?

BR,

    Hello Jason,

    Without the 100 ohm differential termination the swing at the input to the CDCLVD1212 will be higher than expected ~ 2x.

    There also may be some waveform distortion present from reflections due to mismatch

    Regards,

    Liam,

    thanks for your reply.

    May I learn why input swing will be higher than expected ~2x without 100 ohm termination resistor?

    BR,

    Hi Jason,

    Typical LVDS drivers switch a 3.5mA current source across the driver outputs. The standard LVDS termination is a 100-ohm differential LVDS load, which provides 350mV of swing.

    Assuming an LVDS receiver has an internal 100-ohm termination, placing an external 100-ohm will provide a double termination (only one 100 ohms is required / recommended). In this case, the parallel combination of both resistors will halve the swing.

    Kind regards,
    Lane
