LVDS Drivers offer high-speed data transmission.

Press Release Summary:



With -40 to +85°C operating temperature range, Series AS1154/56 single and dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) ICs deliver 800 Mbps data rate with only 300 ps pulse skew. Consuming 2 mA, Model AS1154 driver converts 2 low-voltage LVTTL/LVCMOS signals into LVDS output signals conforming to ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard, while Model AS1156 does the same with single signal. Available in 8-pin SOIC package, both operate from single +3.0 to +3.6 V supply.




Original Press Release:



austriamicrosystems AS1154/56 Single/Dual LVDS Driver Significantly Reduces Power Consumption for High Speed Data Transmission



800Mbps data rate with only 300ps pulse skew reduces power consumption compared with competitor products

Unterpremstaetten, Austria (21 June, 2007) - austriamicrosystems (SWX: AMS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of analog integrated circuits (ICs) for communication, industrial, medical and automotive applications, today expanded their low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) ICs portfolio with single and dual
LVDS drivers.

Ideal for applications requiring high-speed data transmission, such as digital copiers, laser printers, cellphone base stations, telecom switches, and network switches/routers, the AS1154/56 LVDS ICs halve the supply current of competing products, improving the power consumption of LVDS interfaces.

This latest announcement demonstrates austriamicrosystems' continued industry leadership in power consumption reduction. Offering an outstanding data rate of up to 800Mbps, the AS1154/56 drivers consume just 2mA.

"In typical applications, the LVDS transmission improves noise immunity of data signals, by converting single ended signals into LVDS signals. In applications where electrical disturbances cannot be avoided and high data rates are needed, LVDS is the signalling technology of choice, offering superior breakdown immunity and errorfree
data transmission," said Walter Moshammer, marketing director for standard linear at austriamicrosystems.

"LVDS signal transmission reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), and is therefore ideal in applications sensitive to electrical disturbances."

The AS1154 driver converts two low-voltage LVTTL/LVCMOS signals into LVDS output signals conforming to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard while the AS1156 does the same, but with a single signal. Designed with flowthrough pin-out, the AS1154/56 reduces crosstalk between channels and simplifies PC board layout. With an
extremely low pulse skew of only 300ps they are ideal for high-resolution imaging and high-speed interconnection applications.

Guaranteed to work in a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C the AS1154/56 LVDS drivers operate from a single +3.0V to +3.6V supply, and are available in an 8-pin SOIC package.
