DS90CR218A/DS90CR217
+3.3V Rising Edge Data Strobe LVDS 21-Bit Channel
Link - 85 MHz
General Description
The DS90CR217 transmitter converts 21 bits of CMOS/TTL
data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling)
data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in
parallel with the data streams over a fourth LVDS link. Every
cycle of the transmit clock 21 bits of input data are sampled
and transmitted. The DS90CR218A receiver converts the
three LVDS data streams back into 21 bits of CMOS/TTL
data. At a transmit clock frequency of 85 MHz, 21 bits of TTL
data are transmitted at a rate of 595 Mbps per LVDS data
channel. Using a 85 MHz clock, the data throughput is 1.785
Gbit/s (223 Mbytes/sec).
This chipset is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size
problems associated with wide, high speed TTL interfaces.
