AC-coupling is used to change the common-mode voltage level when interconnecting different physical layers. A simple example is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. AC-Coupling to Shift Common-Mode Voltage The capacitor in Figure 1 removes the dc component of the signal (common-mode voltage), while the ac component (voltage swing) is passed on.

This document discusses termination and biasing schemes for LVDS drivers and receivers with DC and AC coupling configurations. It also shows termination schemes for multidrop and multipoint (M-LVDS) connections.

To understand LVDS termination, we have to look at the two possible coupling methods for signals: AC and DC coupling. In DC coupling, the driver is connected directly to a transmission line, or possibly connected with a series resistor.

Feb 8, 2022 · Why you might AC couple depends if you have significant common mode voltage differences between the transmitter and receiver sides that is outside the range of the receiver inputs. I normally use transformer coupling between …

figure 16: ac coupling lvds to lvds. For an LVDS receiver without internal termination, the termination network in Figure 16 sets the appropriate termination at the receiver input and sets the LVDS input common mode vo ltage (1.2V).

The AC coupling methods you describe are suitable for clocks - and are generally NOT suitable for data Tables 2, 14, 15 in the datasheet, DS191 , for the XA7Z030 give the LVDS and LVDS_25 specifications you need.

This application note shows how to AC couple the current mode LVDS drivers of the above devices while providing a DC current path. When the receiver is internally biased, but requires external termination, the circuit in Figure 1 should be used.

Mar 4, 2008 · LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) logic inputs are one of many available logic standards. Using an AC-coupled link can offer the desired level translation, if the signal source provides sufficient amplitude for the LVDS inputs, which …

Jan 3, 2025 · The LVDS_DT_AC_COUPLED model can be used when simulating an AC-coupled interface. The differential termination is modeled as an independent resistor between the P and N pins. This model does not include the internal biasing feature.

Oct 2, 2007 · Using capacitors to AC-couple an LVDS data link provides many benefits, such as level shifting, removing common-mode errors, and protecting against input-voltage fault conditions. This article will help designers select the proper capacitor and the termination topology for this design approach.
