Telefunken
LVDS/M-LVDS as an alternative to RS-485/422
Why is LVDS attractive ?
• For short haul (<50m) LVDS offers a huge improvement in bandwidth
• LVDS provides significant power savings
• LVDS generates much less EMI
• LVDS is a standard I/O in FPGA and ASIC libraries simplifying translation
• Telefunken LVDS has extended common mode equaling the -7 to +12V of RS-485

Close spacing of differential pair and opposite currents
minimize EMI
Noise coupled onto both lines cancels thus maintaining the
differential voltage and boosting noise immunity
LVDS is used extensively for reliable, low power, mid-range performance

Robust Telefunken LVDS
• Telefunken LVDS is manufactured using our in-house proprietary Silicon-on-Insulator process. This provides:– Extended common mode -7 to +12V– Complete immunity to Latch-up– Minimal leakage and consistent operation up to
~150C– 8KV ESD

SummaryComparing RS-485 and LVDS/M-LVDS
• LVDS offers the following advantages:– Higher datarate (at distances up to 50m)– Significant Power savings– Significantly less EMI generation– Simplified interface with FPGAs & ASICs
• Telefunken LVDS matches the RS-485 common mode and is on latch-up free SOI
• Telefunken LVDS is an excellent alternative for short haul point-to-point links
– Voltage divider termination needed if RS-485 driver used
• Telefunken M-LVDS is an alternative for multi-drop applications
– Common mode and voltage divider termination/M-LVDS drive strength needs to be evaluated for mixed RS-485/M-LVDS network.
