Product details
Overview
DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3.125 Gbps 4×4 LVDS crosspoint switch with integrated 100 Ω input termination, SMBus-configurable pre-emphasis (4 levels) and equalization (4 levels), and loss-of-signal detection. It routes high-speed serial video and data signals across backplanes and cables in broadcast infrastructure, supporting SD/HD/3G-SDI routers and InfiniBand interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB datasheet, DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB pinout, DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB application, or DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 480–650 ps differential propagation delay, ±100 ps channel-to-channel skew, 100 Ω on-die input termination, and dual-mode configuration (pin-strapped or SMBus).
Technical Context
The DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB implements a fully differential, non-blocking 4×4 LVDS switching matrix with independent per-output routing control. Its architecture supports broadcast (1:4) and quad-buffer (4:4) modes, with configurable transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization to compensate for FR-4 trace loss up to 30 inches.
It operates in two mutually exclusive configuration modes: Pin Mode (EN_smb = 0) enables hardware-selectable routing and Medium/Off PE + Low/Off EQ via dedicated LVCMOS pins; SMBus Mode (EN_smb = 1) enables full 4-level PE/EQ programming, SoftPWDN, and LOS status reporting over a 10–100 kHz SMBus interface with user-settable 7-bit slave address.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 3.125 Gbps - supports 3G-SDI, OC-48, and InfiniBand signaling without retiming |
| Differential Propagation Delay | 460–650 ps - ensures sub-nanosecond timing alignment across all 4 outputs |
| Channel-to-Channel Skew | ≤125 ps - maintains signal integrity in parallel high-speed interfaces |
| Input Termination | Integrated 100 Ω differential - eliminates external resistors, reduces BOM count and board area |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails and low-noise power domains |

Pinout & Package
DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB is housed in a 6 mm × 6 mm WQFN-40 package with exposed thermal pad (DAP). The flow-through pinout minimizes trace crossovers and supports controlled-impedance layout on dense PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ / IN0− to IN3+ / IN3− (Pins 1–2, 4–5, 6–7, 9–10) | LVDS differential inputs | Each pair has internal 100 Ω termination; accepts LVDS/CML/LVPECL common-mode range (0.05 V to VCC−0.05 V) |
| OUT0+ / OUT0− to OUT3+ / OUT3− (Pins 29–28, 27–26, 24–23, 22–21) | LVDS differential outputs | 100 Ω on-die termination; 250–450 mV differential swing into 100 Ω load |
| S00/SCL, S01/SDA, S10/ADDR0–S21/ADDR3, S30/S31 (Pins 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 13, 14) | Configuration I/O | Multi-function pins: routing select (Pin Mode) or SMBus clock/data/address (SMBus Mode) |
| EQ0–EQ3 (Pins 40, 39, 11, 12) | Equalization level control | LVCMOS inputs setting 4-level EQ (Off/Low/Medium/High); functional in both modes |
| PE0–PE3 (Pins 31, 20, 19, 18) | Pre-emphasis level control | LVCMOS inputs setting 4-level PE (Off/Low/Medium/High); functional in both modes |
| PWDN (Pin 38) | Power-down enable | Active-low; powers down analog core while preserving SMBus accessibility when EN_smb = 1 |
| VDD (Pins 3, 8, 15, 25, 30) | Power supply | Five dedicated 3.3 V supply pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR |
| GND / DAP (Pins 16, DAP) | Ground / thermal pad | Exposed die attach pad must be soldered to solid ground plane for thermal and electrical performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4×4 LVDS crosspoint switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS25CP114TSQX/NOPB | No internal input termination; requires external 100 Ω resistors on all 4 inputs | Better suited for multidrop topologies or custom termination schemes where input loading must be minimized | Select DS25CP114TSQX/NOPB only when design requires flexible input termination or bidirectional signal injection |
| MAX9154ESE+ | Lower max rate (2.5 Gbps); no SMBus interface; fixed pre-emphasis only | Limited to SD/HD-SDI and lower-speed SerDes; lacks dynamic EQ/PE tuning for loss compensation | Choose MAX9154ESE+ for cost-sensitive, fixed-rate applications where 3G-SDI support and adaptive equalization are not required |
Compared with DS25CP114TSQX/NOPB, DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB saves 8 external resistors and simplifies layout but fixes input termination; versus MAX9154ESE+, it adds 3.125 Gbps support, full SMBus configurability, and 4-level adaptive signal conditioning essential for next-gen broadcast and telecom systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB?
The DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB supports a maximum data rate of 3.125 Gbps, validated per JEDEC and SMPTE standards. This enables full compliance with 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps), OC-48 (2.488 Gbps), and InfiniBand QDR (4 Gbps oversampling) applications. Performance is guaranteed across the full −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range with typical jitter below 0.16 UIP-P at 3.125 Gbps.
Does DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB require external termination resistors?
No - DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB integrates 100 Ω differential termination on all four LVDS input pairs, eliminating the need for eight external 100 Ω resistors. Output pairs also include 100 Ω on-die termination. External termination is only required if custom impedance matching or multidrop topologies are used, which is not the case for DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB's default configuration.
How does the SMBus interface function on DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB?
The SMBus interface on DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB is enabled when EN_smb = 1, repurposing S00/SCL and S01/SDA as clock and data lines. It supports full 4-level pre-emphasis and equalization programming, SoftPWDN control, and LOS status reads via a user-configurable 7-bit slave address (ADDR0–ADDR3). SMBus operates at 10–100 kHz and remains accessible even during hardware power-down.
What is the purpose of the PWDN pin on DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB?
The PWDN pin on DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB is an active-low hardware power-down control. When pulled low, it disables the analog switching core and LVDS drivers while retaining SMBus functionality if EN_smb = 1. Power-up time is 6–20 μs. In SMBus Mode, PWDN can be overridden by writing to the Control Register D[7] bit (SoftPWDN), enabling software-controlled sleep/wake cycles.
Can DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB interface directly with CML or LVPECL drivers?
Yes - DS25CP104ATSQX/NOPB accepts input common-mode voltages from 0.05 V to VCC−0.05 V, covering standard CML (≈0.8–1.2 V) and LVPECL (≈1.6–2.0 V) levels when VCC = 3.3 V. Its wide input common-mode range and 100 Ω termination allow direct connection without level-shifting circuitry, provided differential input voltage stays within 0–1.0 V.
