DS10BR150TSD/NOPB Overview
An LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) buffer/repeater is a signal-conditioning interface IC that regenerates a high-speed differential data path whose amplitude and edge rate have been degraded by PCB trace loss, connector crosstalk, or cable attenuation. The DS10BR150 belongs to the LVDS interface category, within the broader interface IC and high-speed signal-conditioning hierarchy used in networking, telecom, and backplane data links where 100 Ω differential impedance and low jitter are mandatory.
Key features include a wide input common-mode voltage allowing acceptance of LVDS, CML, and LVPECL input levels with LVDS-compliant output levels. The device operates from a single 3.3 V supply, supports data rates from DC up to 1.0 Gbps, and provides a power-down pin for standby current reduction. Industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and a low-jitter design make it suited for serial-data distribution in systems where eye-margin preservation across long trace runs is critical.
The DS10BR150 uses a fully differential current-mode architecture with internal termination and adjustable receiver equalization, providing a typical propagation delay of 39 ps and ultra-low pulse-skew-generate of 7 ps. The low-jitter characteristic preserves transmit eye-mask compliance across FR-4 backplanes with insertion loss that would otherwise close the eye at GbE and FibreChannel link speeds. Integrated fail-safe biasing ensures a deterministic output when the input is open, shorted, or undriven.
Typical applications include FR-4 backplane repeater links between line cards and switch fabrics in networking switches and routers, clock and data distribution in telecom equipment, LVDS extension in test-and-measurement instrumentation, and SATA / FibreChannel signal fan-out in storage area network (SAN) cards. The wide input common-mode range also makes it useful for level-translation between CML/LVPECL drivers and LVDS receivers on mixed-logic boards.
When designing with this device, place 100 nF decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the VCC pin and use a continuous ground reference under the WSON exposed pad (EP) to control thermal resistance and provide a low-impedance return path. Maintain 100 Ω differential impedance on input and output traces, route TX/RX pairs length-matched within 5 mil, and avoid right-angle bends to preserve the 1 Gbps eye.

Typical Applications
DS10BR150TSD/NOPB is suitable for 6 applications: FR-4 Backplane Repeater (Networking Switch / Line Card), Clock and Data Distribution (Telecom Backplane), Test and Measurement Instrumentation Fanout, SATA / FibreChannel Signal Fanout (Storage Area Network), Level Translation Between CML/LVPECL Drivers and LVDS Receivers, Industrial Control and Factory Automation Backbones.
FR-4 Backplane Repeater (Networking Switch / Line Card)
The DS10BR150TSD/NOPB is engineered to re-drive 1.0 Gbps LVDS, CML, or LVPECL signals across lossy FR-4 backplane segments between networking line cards and switch-fabric boards. Its 39 ps propagation delay and sub-picosecond additive jitter preserve the transmit eye-mask even when the upstream edge has been degraded by 10+ inches of FR-4 trace and two backplane connectors. With 1 Gbps headroom, the buffer covers GbE, FibreChannel, and proprietary SERDES links commonly seen in enterprise switches and routers, and the wide input common-mode range lets designers reuse a single footprint across mixed LVDS/CML backplane designs.
Recommended
Clock and Data Distribution (Telecom Backplane)
The DS10BR150TSD/NOPB serves as a low-skew fanout buffer for distributing high-speed clocks and serial data across telecom equipment backplanes where multiple line cards must share a common reference. Its 39 ps propagation delay and very low pulse-skew-generate (typically 7 ps) keep channel-to-channel skew well within the budget of multi-gigabit transceiver reference clocks. The 21 mA supply current and integrated fail-safe biasing minimize BOM count versus discrete LVDS-redriver designs, and the WSON-8 3x3 mm footprint supports placement directly adjacent to the connector pin field for minimal stub length.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Instrumentation Fanout
In test-and-measurement instruments such as high-speed oscilloscope front-ends, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers, the DS10BR150TSD/NOPB fans out a single high-speed LVDS data stream to multiple acquisition channels without introducing measurable jitter or distortion. Its 1.0 Gbps capability accommodates modern serial-bus protocols (PCIe Gen2, USB 3.0, SATA II) used in compliance-test fixtures, and the very low propagation delay of 39 ps preserves timing accuracy in time-domain measurements. The exposed-pad WSON-8 package provides a compact footprint that fits tightly on the instrument mainboard adjacent to high-density probe connectors.
Recommended
SATA / FibreChannel Signal Fanout (Storage Area Network)
The DS10BR150TSD/NOPB is used in storage area network (SAN) cards to extend SATA and FibreChannel serial-data signals across midplane backplanes where cable or trace loss would otherwise close the data eye. Its 1.0 Gbps data rate covers SATA II (3 Gbps) with two channels in parallel, and the wide input common-mode range accepts signals from CML-class SERDES macros directly. Designers value its integrated 100 Ω differential termination and fail-safe biasing, which eliminate external AC-coupling and bias networks on the line-card side, reducing overall BOM and PCB area.
Recommended
Level Translation Between CML/LVPECL Drivers and LVDS Receivers
On mixed-logic boards that combine CML or LVPECL clock sources with LVDS receivers (for example, between an FPGA CML output and a downstream ASIC LVDS input), the DS10BR150TSD/NOPB provides a single-chip level-translation stage that converts CML/LVPECL input swings to LVDS-compliant output swings. The wide input common-mode voltage range accepts CML swings centered near VCC and LVPECL swings near 2 V without external biasing, and the LVDS output drives standard 100 Ω differential traces directly. This function is widely used in broadcast video routers, medical imaging, and industrial-vision systems.
Recommended
Industrial Control and Factory Automation Backbones
The DS10BR150TSD/NOPB serves in industrial control cabinets and factory-automation backbones where SERCOS, EtherCAT, and proprietary LVDS-based fieldbus protocols must traverse long cable runs between controllers and distributed IO. The industrial -40°C to +85°C operating range ensures reliable operation in factory environments, and the wide input common-mode range handles the DC-bias shifts that occur across long cable runs. The integrated power-down pin (/PD) lets the system shut down unused buffers to reduce quiescent current in sleep-mode operation, an important consideration for energy-aware industrial systems.

Key Differentiators
- Wide input common-mode range covers LVDS, CML, and LVPECL without external biasing (vs SN65LVDS100DR)
- Ultra-low 39 ps propagation delay with sub-picosecond additive jitter (vs SN65LVDS100DR)
- Compact 8-WSON (NGQ) 3x3 mm with integrated exposed thermal pad (vs SN65LVDS100DR (SOIC-8))
Design Notes
Place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 2 mm of the VCC pin (pin 7), and use a 10 µF bulk capacitor on the same 3.3 V rail. Maintain a continuous ground reference under the WSON exposed pad (pin 4) by stitching vias around the pad perimeter, with at least 9 ground vias on a 1 mm pitch. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the rated thermal resistance (~ 35 C/W) and to provide the low-impedance return path required at 1 Gbps; an unsoldered EP can degrade jitter and cause intermittent failures.
Route IN+ / IN- and OUT+ / OUT- pairs as 100 Ω differential traces with intra-pair length matching within 5 mil (0.13 mm). Avoid right-angle bends and use only smooth curves or 45° bends; keep stubs shorter than 100 mils. Maintain at least 3W (3x trace width) clearance to other high-speed traces and aggressors to minimize crosstalk. Place the DS10BR150 within 1 inch of the upstream connector pin field to keep the input stub short; series AC-coupling capacitors (if used) must be placed symmetrically within the differential pair to preserve common-mode balance.
Tie /PD (pin 8) to VCC through a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor for normal operation, or to GND via a control line for standby power-down. In standby, supply current drops to microampere levels, making /PD useful for sleep-mode operation in energy-aware systems. When using EN (pin 3), note that EN enables the receiver side while /PD shuts down both input and output stages; designers should consult the datasheet truth table for proper sequencing during power-up to avoid bus contention on multi-drop LVDS links.
