Product details
Overview
DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a 3.125 Gbps 4×4 LVDS crosspoint switch with pin- and SMBus-configurable transmit pre-emphasis (Off/Low/Medium/High) and receive equalization (Off/Low/Medium/High), integrated 100Ω input/output termination, and loss-of-signal (LOS) monitoring - designed for high-integrity signal routing across lossy FR-4 backplanes in SDI routers and Fibre Channel systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB datasheet, DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB pinout, DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB application, or DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, validated jitter performance (≤0.16 UIP–P at 3.125 Gbps), confirmed 40-pin LLP-6×6 package mapping, and two field-validated alternative parts with documented interface and configuration differences.
Technical Context
The DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB implements a fully differential, non-blocking 4×4 crosspoint matrix supporting both pin-strapped (2-level PE/EQ) and SMBus-programmable (4-level PE/EQ) operation. Its SmartPWDN circuitry dynamically powers down unused I/O blocks based on routing configuration, reducing power in partial-use scenarios.
It accepts LVDS, CML, and LVPECL inputs (0.05 V to VCC−0.05 V common-mode range) and delivers standardized LVDS outputs (250–450 mV differential swing, 100 Ω on-chip termination). The integrated LOS monitors detect open-cable faults per input channel and report status via SMBus register 4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 3.125 Gbps - supports OC-48, 3G-SDI, and 2G Fibre Channel protocols without retiming |
| Differential Jitter (TJ) | 0.13–0.16 UIP–P at 3.125 Gbps - ensures reliable eye opening after 30-inch FR-4 channel (9.7 dB loss @1.56 GHz) |
| Pre-emphasis Levels | 4 levels (Off/Low/Medium/High) via SMBus - compensates up to 17 dB insertion loss at Nyquist frequency |
| Equalization Levels | 4 levels (Off/Low/Medium/High) via SMBus - recovers signals degraded by up to 9.7 dB channel loss |
| Supply Current | 157–190 mA typical in 4:4 mode (VCC = 3.3 V) - enables thermal management in dense backplane layouts |
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV HBM on LVDS I/O - protects against handling-induced discharge in production and field environments |
| Package | LLP-40 (6 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - flow-through pinout minimizes trace stubs and simplifies HDI routing |
Pinout & Package
DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB uses a 40-pin Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) measuring 6 mm × 6 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (DAP). Pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout starting from top-left corner (Pin 1 = IN0+).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0+ / IN0− to IN3+ / IN3− (Pins 1–2,4–5,6–7,9–10) | Differential LVDS/CML/LVPECL inputs | Accept wide common-mode range (0.05 V to VCC−0.05 V); internally terminated 100 Ω |
| OUT0+ / OUT0− to OUT3+ / OUT3− (Pins 21–22,23–24,26–27,28–29) | Differential LVDS outputs | Deliver 250–450 mV swing into 100 Ω load; flow-through layout reduces crosstalk |
| EQ0–EQ3 (Pins 11–12,39–40) | LVCMOS equalization control | Select Off/Low per input in pin mode; overridden by SMBus when Ignore_External_EQ = 1 |
| PE0–PE3 (Pins 18–20,31) | LVCMOS pre-emphasis control | Select Off/Medium per output in pin mode; overridden by SMBus when Ignore_External_PE = 1 |
| EN_smb (Pin 17) | SMBus enable input | Pull-down internal; logic high activates SMBus mode, repurposing S00/S01 as SCL/SDA |
| PWDN (Pin 38) | Hardware power-down control | Active-low; works OR-gated with SoftPWDN bit D[7] in Control Register for flexible low-power sequencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 100 Ω differential termination | Eliminates 8 external resistors per port, reduces board area >12 mm², and lowers return loss <−15 dB |
| SmartPWDN dynamic power gating | Shuts down unused input receivers and output drivers based on active routing paths, cutting ICC by up to 35% |
| LOS fault detection per input channel | Reports open-cable conditions via SMBus register 4; enables system-level link health monitoring without external comparators |
| Flow-through LLP-40 pinout | Input pins on left/top, outputs on right/bottom - enables straight PCB traces with minimal vias and impedance discontinuities |
| 8 kV HBM ESD protection | Protects LVDS I/O against electrostatic discharge during handling and hot-plug operations in broadcast infrastructure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed LVDS crosspoint applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9154ESE+ | 4×4 LVDS crosspoint with fixed 250 mV output swing; no pre-emphasis or equalization; 28-pin SOIC package | Lacks adaptive signal conditioning - suitable only for short, low-loss interconnects (<10 cm FR-4) | Select MAX9154ESE+ only when channel loss is <2 dB and SMBus configurability is unnecessary. |
| SN65LVCP22PWR | 2×2 LVDS crosspoint with 4-level PE/EQ; 24-pin TSSOP; max rate 2.5 Gbps; no LOS reporting | Half the port count and lower bandwidth - requires two devices for 4×4 functionality; no integrated fault monitoring | Choose SN65LVCP22PWR only for space-constrained 2-lane applications where full 4×4 routing and LOS are not required. |
Compared with MAX9154ESE+ and SN65LVCP22PWR, DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB uniquely delivers 4×4 routing, full 4-level adaptive equalization/pre-emphasis, and per-input LOS detection in a single 6×6 mm package - making it the only option for compact, high-reliability 3G-SDI and OC-48 backplane switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB?
The DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB is characterized and guaranteed to operate error-free up to 3.125 Gbps across its full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This rate supports 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps), OC-48 (2.488 Gbps), and 2G Fibre Channel (2.125 Gbps) without retiming. Jitter specifications (e.g., 0.16 UIP–P total jitter) are validated at this maximum rate using PRBS-23 patterns.
Does DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB support both pin-strapping and SMBus configuration simultaneously?
No - DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB operates in one of two mutually exclusive modes determined by the EN_smb pin state. When EN_smb = 0, only pin-strapped configuration is active (2-level PE/EQ). When EN_smb = 1, SMBus controls all functions including full 4-level PE/EQ, switch routing, and LOS reporting; external PE/EQ pins become optional overrides only if Ignore_External_PE/EQ bits are cleared in the Control Register.
How does the SmartPWDN feature reduce power consumption in DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB?
SmartPWDN in DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB automatically disables unused input receivers, output drivers, and associated logic blocks based on the active switch configuration. For example, in a 1:4 broadcast mode, only one input and all four outputs remain powered - reducing typical supply current from 190 mA (4:4 mode) to ~145 mA, lowering thermal load and improving system efficiency without firmware intervention.
Can DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB interface directly with CML or LVPECL drivers?
Yes - DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB accepts CML and LVPECL input signals due to its wide input common-mode range (0.05 V to VCC−0.05 V) and differential input threshold tolerance (±100 mV). No external level-shifting components are required. Output signals are strictly LVDS-compliant (250–450 mV swing, 100 Ω termination), ensuring interoperability with standard LVDS receivers.
What is the function of the DAP (die attach pad) on DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB?
The DAP (Pin DAP) on DS25CP104TSQ/NOPB is an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the LLP-40 package. It must be soldered to a solid copper thermal plane on the PCB to achieve specified thermal performance (θJA = 26.9°C/W). Leaving the DAP unconnected increases junction temperature by >25°C under full-load operation, risking reliability degradation and potential thermal shutdown.
