Technical Training Seminar: Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS): Technology and Applications

Tuesday 26 October

TECHNICAL TRAINING SEMINAR
from 14:00 to 16:30, Auditorium 40-SS-C01

Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS): Technology and Applications
Herbert Eisenring, Kai Peters / NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR (Europe)

National Semiconductor pioneered the Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) technology, and is a recognized leader in high speed differential products and design tools. National Semiconductor offers a wide range of innovative, affordable interconnect solutions including serializer-deserializers (SerDes), drivers-receivers-transceivers, crosspoint switches and clock drivers.
LVDS is a new technology addressing the needs of todays high performance data transmission applications, and the LVDS standard is becoming the most popular differential data transmission standard in the industry. This Technical Training Seminar will present National Semiconductor existing and future products, and some applications relevant to the activities carried out at CERN.

14:00 - 14:15 Presentation of National Semiconductors. Overview of analog products

14:15 - 14:45 Existing and future products: Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS), Serial Digital Video (SDV), Ethernet

14:45 - 15:15 Driving transmission lines: from Bus LVDS multi-point backplane to 100-meter cable point-to-point applications

15:15 - 15:30 coffee

15:30 - 16:00 Improving Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) performance and lowering total cost

  • LVDS SerDes: Using a lower cost FPGA
  • Using discrete LVDS and Current Mode Logic (CML) devices to enhance signal integrity
  • Improving the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for interface applications

16:00 - 16:25 Ethernet: Selected applications. Product specifications and design recommendations. Embedded industrial applications

  • questions, discussion
