The UT54LVDSC032 receiver’s intended use is primarily in an
uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as is shown in
Figure 3. This configuration provides a clean signaling
environment for quick edge rates of the drivers. The receiver is
connected to the driver through a balanced media which may
be a standard twisted pair cable, a parallel pair cable, or simply
PCB traces. Typically, the characteristic impedance of the
media is in the range of 100Ω. A termination resistor of 100Ω
should be selected to match the media and is located as close to
the receiver input pins as possible. The termination resistor
converts the current sourced by the driver into voltages that are
detected by the receiver. Other configurations are possible such
as a multi-receiver configuration, but the effects of a mid-stream
connector(s), cable stub(s), and other impedance
discontinuities, as well as ground shifting, noise margin limits,
and total termination loading must be taken into account.

Figure 3. Point-to-Point Application
The UT54LVDSC032 differential line receiver is capable of
detecting signals as low as 100mV, over a + 1V common-mode
range centered around +1.2V. This is related to the driver offset
voltage which is typically +1.2V. The driven signal is centered
around this voltage and may shift +1V around this center point.
The +1V shifting may be the result of a ground potential
difference between the driver’s ground reference and the
receiver’s ground reference, the common-mode effects of
coupled noise or a combination of the two. Both receiver input
pins should honor their specified operating input voltage range
of 0V to +2.4V (measured from each pin to ground).

Receiver Fail-Safe
The UT54LVDSC32 receiver is a high gain, high speed device
that amplifies a small differential signal (20mV) to TTL logic
levels. Due to the high gain and tight threshold of the receiver,
care should be taken to prevent noise from appearing as a valid
signal.
The receiver’s internal fail-safe circuitry is designed to source/
sink a small amount of current, providing fail-safe protection (a
stable known state of HIGH output voltage) for floating,
terminated or shorted receiver inputs.
1.
Open Input Pins.
The UT54LVDSC032 is a quad
receiver device, and if an application requires only 1, 2
or 3 receivers, the unused channel(s) inputs should be
left OPEN. Do not tie unused receiver inputs to ground
or any other voltages. The input is biased by internal high
value pull up and pull down resistors to set the output to
a HIGH state. This internal circuitry will guarantee a
HIGH, stable output state for open inputs.
2.
Terminated Input.
If the driver is disconnected (cable
unplugged), or if the driver is in a three-state or power-
off condition, the receiver output will again be in a HIGH
state, even with the end of cable 100Ω termination
resistor across the input pins. The unplugged cable can
become a floating antenna which can pick up noise. If
the cable picks up more than 10mV of differential noise,
the receiver may see the noise as a valid signal and
switch. To insure that any noise is seen as common-mode
and not differential, a balanced interconnect should be
used. Twisted pair cable offers better balance than flat
ribbon cable.
3.
Shorted Inputs.
If a fault condition occurs that shorts
the receiver inputs together, thus resulting in a 0V
differential input voltage, the receiver output remains in
a HIGH state. Shorted input fail-safe is not supported
across the common-mode range of the device (V
SS
to
2.4V). It is only supported with inputs shorted and no
external common-mode voltage applied.
