Analog Devices’ Multipoint LVDS Transceivers Deliver Industry’s Highest ESD Protection for High-speed, Multi-node Applications

Traditional LVDS communication links, by comparison, must use 32 separate point-to-point nodes, which significantly increases power, connector size, cabling costs and total board space. ADI’s ADN469xE M-LVDS series delivers 8 kV IEC ESD protection, offering up to 11 times the protection of competing M-LVDS transceivers. This higher level of protection improves the reliability of insertable/removable boards and cards used in wireless base station and networking infrastructure, data acquisition, automated test equipment and other high-speed, highly networked backplane and cable applications.



Available in half- and full-duplex versions, ADI’s ADN469xE transceivers are fully compliant with the TIA/EIA-899 M-LVDS standard. The new transceivers are available in configurations that include:



•ADN4691E/ADN4693E : Type 1 receivers with 200 Mbps data rates include symmetrical input threshold voltage and are designed to improve clock timing performance



•ADN4696E/ADN4697E: Type 2 receivers with 200 Mbps data rates are designed for data applications and feature a receiver-input threshold voltage offset of –100 mV. This ensures a known receiver output state when the bus is idle (bus-idle fail-safe) or the bus inputs are open (open-circuit fail-safe).
