Industrial -40°C to +85°C Temperature excess of 1.5 Gbps.
Low Power: 150 mW (typ) at 1.5 Gbps Output voltage amplitude is adjustable via a single
Space-saving 3 x 3 mm WSON-8 Package external resistor for level translation and cable driving
applications into 50-ohm single-ended and 100-ohm
APPLICATIONS differential mode impedances.
Cable Extension Applications The DS15BA101 is powered from a single 3.3V
Level Translation supply and consumes 150 mW (typ) at 1.5 Gbps. It
operates over the full 40°C to +85°C industrial

DEVICE OPERATION
INPUT INTERFACING
The DS15BA101 accepts either differential or single-ended input. The inputs are self-biased, allowing for simple
AC or DC coupling. DC-coupled inputs must be kept within the specified common-mode range. The IN+ and IN-
pins are self-biased at approximately 2.1V with VCC = 3.3V. The following three figures illustrate typical DC-
coupled interface to common differential drivers.
Figure 2. Typical LVDS Driver DC-Coupled Interface to DS15BA101 Input
Figure 3. Typical CML Driver DC-Coupled Interface to DS15BA101 Input
Figure 4. Typical LVPECL Driver DC-Coupled Interface to DS15BA101 Input
OUTPUT INTERFACING
The DS15BA101 uses current mode outputs. Single-ended output levels are 400 mVP-P into AC-coupled 100
differential cable (with RVO = 953) or into AC-coupled 50coaxial cable (with RVO = 487). Output level is
controlled by the value of the RVO resistor connected between the RVO and VCC.
The RVO resistor should be placed as close as possible to the RVO pin. In addition, the copper in the plane layers
below the RVO network should be removed to minimize parasitic capacitance. The following figure illustrates
typical DC-coupled interface to common differential receivers and assumes that the receivers have high
impedance inputs. While most receivers have a common mode input range that can accomodate CML signals, it
is recommended to check respective receiver's datasheet prior to implementing the suggested interface
implementation.

CABLE EXTENDER APPLICATION
The DS15BA101 together with the DS15EA101 form a cable extender chipset optimized for extending serial data
streams from serializer/deserializer (SerDes) pairs and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) over 100
differential (i.e. CAT5e/6/7 and twinax) and 50coaxial cables. Setting correct DS15BA101 output amplitude and
proper cable termination are keys for optimal operation. The following two figures show recommended chipset
configuration for 100differential and 50coaxial cables.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
