Product details
Overview
SN65LVCP408PAPR from Texas Instruments is an 8×8 non-blocking gigabit crosspoint switch with VML differential I/O, supporting up to 4.25 Gbps per lane, 30 ps deterministic jitter, integrated 100-Ω differential termination, and I²C-controlled routing. It serves as a high-speed signal router in telecom backplanes and XAUI protocol redundancy systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN65LVCP408PAPR datasheet, SN65LVCP408PAPR pinout, SN65LVCP408PAPR application, or SN65LVCP408PAPR equivalent, key selection criteria include deterministic jitter performance at 4.25 Gbps, per-lane pre-emphasis (0/3/6/10 dB), receive equalization (9/13 dB), flow-through QFP pinout for PCB layout efficiency, and I²C address configurability via ADDR1/ADDR2 pins.
Technical Context
The SN65LVCP408PAPR implements a fully differential 8×8 non-blocking architecture with eight independent 8:1 multiplexers - one per output - enabling any input to be routed to any output without contention. Each path includes selectable transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization to compensate for channel loss on FR4 backplanes up to 43 inches.
It uses VML signaling with internal 100-Ω differential termination, operates from a single 3.3-V supply, and integrates biasing (VBB) and common-mode control for AC-coupled CML-compatible inputs. Control is implemented via I²C interface (100 kHz) with pin-strapped slave addressing (ADDR1/ADDR2) and optional hardware override (I2C_EN, PRE, EQ, SWT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 4.25 Gbps per lane - supports XAUI, 3G-SDI, and high-speed serial backplane links |
| Deterministic Jitter | 30 ps peak-to-peak at 4.25 Gbps with EQ=13 dB - enables robust eye opening after 25-inch FR4 trace |
| Pre-Emphasis | Selectable per lane: 0/3/6/10 dB - compensates high-frequency loss in long PCB traces |
| Equalization | Selectable per input: 9 dB or 13 dB - restores signal integrity degraded by inter-symbol interference |
| Termination | Integrated 100-Ω differential on-chip termination - eliminates external resistors, saves board space |
| Supply | Single 3.3 V ±5% - simplifies power delivery vs. dual-supply high-speed switches |

Pinout & Package
SN65LVCP408PAPR is housed in a 64-pin PowerPAD™ QFP (PAP) package with exposed thermal pad. The flow-through pinout minimizes layer transitions and crosstalk: differential inputs (xA/xB) occupy one side, outputs (xY/xZ) the opposite, and control signals (SCL/SDA/ADDR1/ADDR2/RESN/I2C_EN/SWT/PRE/EQ) are grouped centrally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| xA (5,8,11,14,18,21,24,27) | Differential Input P | Positive leg of CML-compatible input pair; internally terminated to VBB |
| xB (6,9,12,15,19,22,25,28) | Differential Input N | Negative leg of CML-compatible input pair; forms 100-Ω differential termination with xA |
| xY (34,37,40,43,51,54,57,60) | Differential Output P | Positive leg of VML output; supports 3-state control and pre-emphasis |
| xZ (33,36,39,42,50,53,56,59) | Differential Output N | Negative leg of VML output; matched skew with xY for low jitter |
| SCL (45), SDA (46) | I²C Clock/Data | Open-drain interface for register configuration; requires external pull-ups |
| ADDR1 (47), ADDR2 (48) | I²C Address Select | Set 2 LSBs of 7-bit slave address (01011xx); enable up to 4 devices on same bus |
| RESN (3) | Active-Low Reset | Must be driven low at power-up to initialize register map and routing state |
| I2C_EN (63) | I²C Enable Control | When low, PRE/EQ pins override register settings; when high, full I²C control active |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-blocking 8×8 switching matrix | Enables arbitrary input-to-output mapping without contention - critical for redundant routing in telecom switches |
| Per-lane programmable pre-emphasis | Four settings (0/3/6/10 dB) allow precise compensation for varying trace lengths and losses |
| Per-input configurable equalization | Two gain modes (9 dB / 13 dB) adapt to different channel degradations without external components |
| Integrated 100-Ω differential termination | Eliminates 16 external 50-Ω resistors - reduces BOM count, layout area, and impedance discontinuities |
| Flow-through QFP pinout | Input and output banks placed on opposite sides - enables straight PCB routing, minimizes vias and skew |
| PowerPAD™ thermal enhancement | Exposed center pad soldered to ground plane - achieves θJA = 21.2°C/W with proper via array |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed crosspoint switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65LVCP22PAPR | 2×2 crosspoint; no I²C interface; fixed pre-emphasis (6 dB); no equalization | Suitable only for point-to-point fanout or simple muxing - lacks routing flexibility and channel conditioning | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-channel-count designs where full 8×8 programmability is unnecessary |
| DS10BR254TSQ/NOPB | 4×4 crosspoint; LVDS I/O; no integrated termination; external pre-emphasis required | Requires discrete termination and equalization circuitry; higher layout complexity and jitter sensitivity | Prefer when LVDS compatibility is mandatory and system-level equalization is already implemented externally |
Compared with SN65LVCP408PAPR, the SN65LVCP22PAPR offers lower gate count and cost but sacrifices scalability and signal conditioning; the DS10BR254TSQ/NOPB provides LVDS compatibility but increases BOM and layout effort due to missing on-die termination and equalization.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for SN65LVCP408PAPR?
The SN65LVCP408PAPR supports up to 4.25 Gbps per lane, validated with PRBS27-1 pattern and measured under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C). This rate meets XAUI and 3G-SDI requirements, and the device maintains 30 ps deterministic jitter at this speed with EQ=13 dB enabled.
Does SN65LVCP408PAPR require external termination resistors?
No, SN65LVCP408PAPR integrates 100-Ω differential termination on all eight inputs and outputs. This eliminates the need for 16 external 50-Ω resistors, reducing PCB area, component count, and potential impedance mismatches - a key advantage over discrete termination solutions.
How is I²C addressing configured on SN65LVCP408PAPR?
SN65LVCP408PAPR uses a 7-bit I²C slave address where the upper five bits are factory-fixed (01011), and the two LSBs are set by ADDR1 and ADDR2 pins. These pins accept logic-high (VCC), logic-low (GND), or active drive, enabling up to four SN65LVCP408PAPR devices on a single I²C bus without address conflict.
What is the function of the VBB pin on SN65LVCP408PAPR?
VBB (Pin 16) provides internal biasing voltage for AC-coupled differential inputs. It establishes the common-mode reference (~1.6 V) for CML-compatible receivers, enabling seamless integration with AC-coupled sources without external bias networks - critical for maintaining signal integrity in backplane applications.
Can SN65LVCP408PAPR outputs be individually 3-stated?
Yes, each of the eight outputs on SN65LVCP408PAPR can be independently placed in high-impedance state via bit 2 of its corresponding Output Port Control Register (e.g., Register 0x00–0x07). This enables dynamic lane isolation during system reconfiguration or fault recovery without affecting other active paths.
