Product details
Overview
DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3.125 Gbps 4×4 LVDS crosspoint switch with integrated transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization, designed for high-speed signal routing across lossy FR-4 backplanes and balanced cables. It features internal 100 Ω LVDS input termination, 8 kV HBM ESD protection on I/O pins, and operates from 3.0–3.6 V supply at −40°C to +85°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB datasheet, DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB pinout, DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB application, or DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include differential jitter performance (≤27 ps deterministic jitter at 3.125 Gbps), SMBus-configurable four-level PE/EQ, flow-through WQFN-40 pinout, and support for SD/HD/3G-SDI, InfiniBand, and OC-48 systems.
Technical Context
The DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB implements a fully differential, non-blocking 4×4 LVDS switching architecture with independent per-output routing control via pin or SMBus interface. Its dual-mode operation supports both hardware-selectable (EN_smb = 0) and software-programmable (EN_smb = 1) configurations, enabling flexible integration in broadcast (1:4) or quad-buffer (4:4) topologies.
Signal conditioning is implemented through four discrete pre-emphasis levels (Off/Low/Medium/High) and four equalization levels (Off/Low/Medium/High), each configurable per output or per input respectively. The device includes on-chip LOS detection, soft power-down via SMBus register, and 100 Ω internal input/output terminations optimized for minimal return loss and board space reduction.

Pinout & Package
DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 40-pin WQFN package (RTA0040A) with exposed die attach pad (DAP) requiring connection to ground for optimal thermal and electrical performance. Pin numbering follows TI's standard WQFN-40 outline with flow-through arrangement minimizing trace crossovers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4×4 LVDS crosspoint applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS25CP114TSQ/NOPB | No internal input termination; requires external 100 Ω resistors on all four inputs | Better suited for multidrop or custom-terminated topologies where input loading must be controlled externally | Select DS25CP114TSQ/NOPB when designing custom distribution networks requiring variable input impedance or shared-termination schemes |
| MAX9154ESE+ | Lower max rate (2.5 Gbps); no SMBus interface; fixed pre-emphasis only | Limited to SD/HD-SDI and lower-speed serial links; lacks dynamic equalization and software configurability | Choose MAX9154ESE+ only for cost-sensitive, fixed-function SDI routing where 3G-SDI and SMBus control are unnecessary |
Compared with DS25CP114TSQ/NOPB, DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB offers plug-and-play input termination but less flexibility in multidrop designs; versus MAX9154ESE+, it delivers higher bandwidth, full PE/EQ programmability, and robust jitter performance essential for 3G-SDI and OC-48 systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB?
The DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB is specified and characterized up to 3.125 Gbps, meeting the full bandwidth requirement for 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps), OC-48 (2.488 Gbps), and InfiniBand DDR (5 Gbps per lane with margin). Jitter performance remains within specification (≤27 ps deterministic jitter) at this rate under recommended operating conditions.
Does DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB require external termination resistors?
No - DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB integrates 100 Ω differential termination on all four LVDS inputs and outputs. This eliminates the need for eight external 100 Ω resistors, reducing BOM cost, PCB area, and layout complexity. The DS25CP114 variant omits input termination and does require external resistors.
How is DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB configured - via pins or software?
DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB supports dual configuration modes: pin-strapped (EN_smb = 0) for hardware-only routing and pre-emphasis/equalization level selection, or SMBus-controlled (EN_smb = 1) for full software programmability of all four PE/EQ levels, LOS status, and soft power-down. Both modes coexist - PE/EQ pins remain functional in SMBus mode.
What package type and thermal characteristics does DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB use?
DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB uses a 40-pin WQFN package (RTA0040A, 6 mm × 6 mm) with exposed die attach pad (DAP). Thermal resistance is θJA = 26.9°C/W and θJC = 3.8°C/W. The DAP must be soldered to a solid ground plane to achieve rated 4.65 W power dissipation and maintain junction temperature ≤150°C at +85°C ambient.
Can DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB interface directly with CML or LVPECL drivers?
Yes - DS25CP104ATSQ/NOPB accepts a wide input common-mode range of 0.05 V to VCC−0.05 V, enabling direct connection to CML (typically ~1.0 V common-mode) and LVPECL (typically ~1.6 V common-mode) sources without level-shifting circuitry. Input differential voltage is supported up to 1.0 V, matching typical CML/LVPECL swing specifications.
