EIA-899 Description

EIA644 Interface Circuit
LVDS Interface Circuit

M-LVDS Multipoint LVDS [EIA-899], Addresses double terminated bus configurations extends the common-mode range to +/-2 V. 11mA drive at 500Mbps max, 200/300Mbps typical for Multi-pointEIA/TIA-644 Balanced (differential) interface [LVDS]; defines the Electrical layer (Receiver and Transmitter) only.
Designed with an output voltage swing of 350mV at better then 400Mbps into a 100 ohm load, across a distance of about 10 meters. LVDS is only an Electrical spec - to be referenced by other specifications, it may be used with either a cable or PWB design. The type of cable determines cable length; Category 3 (CAT3) for 10m in length, CAT5 for longer runs (~20 meters @ 100Mbps, ~50 meters @ 50Mbps, ~100 meters @ 10Mbps). Ribbon cable may be used for sub meter runs. Also listed under IEEE 1596.3.

Other vendor types:
LVDS [EIA-644], Low Voltage Differential Signaling; 3.5mA drive, at 655Mbps max, Point-to-Point
BLVDS Bus LVDS, [Proprietary] 10mA drive designed to handle mulit-card low impedance backplane applications [One bus driver].
GLVDS Ground referenced LVDS, Places the driver output voltage offset closer to ground potential.
LVDM Low Voltage Differential Signaling Multi-Point, [Proprietary], 8mA with one bus driver.

EIA-644 Bus Pull-up/Pull-Down Resistors

LVDS uses a single 100 ohm termination resistor at the Receiver side of the bus. The Receiver provides failsafe bias so Pull-up/down resistors are not required. Noisy environments may require the addition of bias resistors.

The Pullup/Down Resistors (Idle-line failsafe) are used to keep the +/- inputs of the Receiver(s) inputs at a minimum of 200mV differential or higher. Normally required once the system has reached it's quiescent state, when no drivers are driving the bus. Only one end of the bus requires the resistor network.
