DS100BR210

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS100BR210

Hi:

I have some questions about DS100BR210 repeater.

1. Is it can be able to LVDS display application?

2. If it can be able to LVDS display application, how long the cable maximum length available?

3. If it can be able to LVDS display application, Do you have Cable length vs display resolution data? 

4. Do you have cable material vs cable length data? 

  • 1. The DS100BR210 can be used in a display application with one limitation.  In this application the DS100BR210 inputs should still be AC coupled.  LVDS has an output common mode of ~1.2V.  The outputs of the DS100BR210 are compatible with this standard.  However the inputs are designed to set a different common mode voltage and need the AC coupled interface.

    2. The maximum cable length would be determined by several variables - attenuation, data-rate, and crosstalk are probably the three most important.

    3. I do not have any data of cable length vs. display information.  Under good conditions the DS100BR210 will compensate for almost 30 dB of attenuation at a data-rate of 10 Gbps.  For lower data-rates, this number will be less, but the CTLE EQ is effective at data-rates down to about 1 Gbps.

    4. The DS100BR210 was designed to drive and receive data over a 100 Ohm interface.  The primary conductor material is solid copper, as the copper wire guage or conductor diameter increases, the cable loss goes down.  This allows for longer cable lengths to be used successfully.  Dielectric material can also vary as long as the impedance is 100 Ohms.  Better dielectrics will have lower losses and allow the DS100BR210 to drive longer distances.
