National Semiconductor Introduces Industry's First AEC-Q100 Compliant LVDS
Crosspoint Switches, Drivers and Receivers
PowerWise LVDS Crosspoints Deliver Industry's Best Signal Integrity for
Automotive Infotainment, GPS Navigation and Imaging Systems

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National
Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE: NSM) today announced a new family of automotive-
grade low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) 2 x 2 crosspoint switches that
deliver the industry's best signal integrity and noise immunity at data
transmission rates up to 3.125 Gbps. These PowerWise(R) crosspoints, which
consume as little as 105 mW of power per channel, combine with National's line
drivers and receivers to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation in a
wide range of automotive applications including infotainment, instrument
cluster displays, GPS navigation, and backup and lane departure camera warning
systems.
National's LVDS family has been characterized and qualified to meet the
certification requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard as defined by the
Automotive Electronics Council. LVDS is a robust differential signaling
technology that's well-suited for automotive applications. It provides low
power operation and high bandwidth, yet generates very little electromagnetic
interference (EMI). Additionally, the wide LVDS common-mode and differential
technology deliver exceptional noise immunity. This combination of low noise
(EMI) generation and high noise immunity is critical as electronic systems
continue to proliferate throughout the automobile in areas such as ignition,
power-train management, infotainment and safety.
The eight new LVDS devices include three 2 x 2 crosspoint switches, a set
of single and dual differential drivers and receivers, and a dual line driver
and receiver pair. Each device is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 certified and guaranteed to
operate up to 85 degrees C:
-- The PowerWise DS25CP102Q 2 x 2 LVDS crosspoint switch delivers the
industry's best jitter performance (6 ps typical) at data transmission rates
up to 3.125 Gbps. The device features selectable transmit pre-emphasis and
receive equalization to extend signal transmission reach in cables and FR-4
backplanes. It's supplied in a 16-pin LLP(R) package. For more information or
to order samples and an evaluation board, visit
www.national.com/pf/DS/DS25CP102Q.html.
-- The PowerWise DS25CP152Q 2 x 2 LVDS crosspoint switch, without signal
conditioning, also offers industry-leading jitter performance at data
transmission rates up to 3.125 Gbps. It's supplied in a 16-pin LLP package.

-- The DS10CP152Q 2 x 2 LVDS crosspoint switch, without signal
conditioning, provides lower speed (1.5 Gbps) data transmission operation.
It's supplied in a 16-pin LLP package. For more information or to order
samples and an evaluation board, visit www.national.com/pf/DS/DS10CP152Q.html.
-- The DS90LV011AQ LVDS differential line driver and DS90LT012AQ LVDS
differential line receiver both support switching rates up to 400 Mbps (200
MHz). Both devices are supplied in 5-pin SOT-23 packages. For more information
or to order samples, visit www.national.com/pf/DS/DS90LV011AQ.html and
www.national.com/pf/DS/DS90LT012AQ.html.

-- The DS90LV027AQ LVDS dual differential line driver supports switching
rates up to 600 Mbps (300 MHz), while the DS90LV028AQ LVDS dual differential
line receiver and DS90LV049Q LVDS dual line driver and receiver pair each
support switching rates up to 400 Mbps (200 MHz). The DS90LV027AQ and
DS90LV028AQ are supplied in 8-pin SOIC packages and the DS90LV049Q is supplied
in a 16-pin TSSOP package. For more information or to order samples, visit
