PRODUCTION DATA.
BLVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be used in a differential backplane configuration. Transceivers or receivers are connected to the driver through a balanced media such as differential PCB traces. Typically, the characteristic differential impedance of the media (ZO) is in the range of 50 Ω to 100 Ω. Two termination resistors of ZO Ω each are placed at the ends of the transmission line backplane. The termination resistor converts the current sourced by the driver into a voltage that is detected by the receiver. The effects of mid-stream connector(s), cable stub(s), and other impedance discontinuity as well as ground shifting, noise margin limits, and total termination loading must be taken into account.
