ISOLATION
In response to any change in the input state detected by the
integrated LVDS receiver, an encoder circuit sends narrow (~1 ns)
pulses to a decoder circuit using integrated transformer coils.
The decoder is bistable and is, therefore, either set or reset by
the pulses that indicate input transitions. The decoder state
determines the LVDS driver output state in normal operation,
and this in turn reflects the isolated LVDS buffer input state.
In the absence of input transitions for more than approximately
1 µs, a periodic set of refresh pulses, indicative of the correct input
state, ensures dc correctness at the output (including the fail-safe
output state, if applicable). These periodic refresh pulses also
correct the output state within 1 μs in the event of a fault condition
or set the ADN4651/ADN4652 output to the fail-safe state.
On power-up, the output state may initially be in the incorrect
dc state if there are no input transitions. The output state is
corrected within 1 µs by the refresh pulses.
If the decoder receives no internal pulses for more than
approximately 1 µs, the device assumes that the input side is
unpowered or nonfunctional, in which case, the output is set to
a positive differential voltage (logic high).
PCB LAYOUT
The ADN4650/ADN4651/ADN4652 can operate with high
speed LVDS signals up to 300 MHz clock, or 600 Mbps nonreturn
to zero (NRZ) data. With such high frequencies, it is particularly
important to apply best practices for the LVDS trace layout and
termination. Locate a 100 Ω termination resistor as close as
possible to the receiver, across the DINx+ and DINx− pins.
Controlled 50 Ω impedance traces are needed on LVDS signal
lines for full signal integrity, reduced system jitter, and minimizing
electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the PCB. Trace widths,
lateral distance within each pair, and distance to the ground plane
underneath all must be chosen appropriately. Via fencing to the
PCB ground between pairs is also a best practice to minimize
crosstalk between adjacent pairs.
The ADN4650/ADN4651/ADN4652 pass EN55022 Class B
emissions limits without extra considerations required for the
isolator when operating with up to 600 Mbps PRBS data. When
isolating high speed clocks (for example, 300 MHz), a reduced
PCB clearance (isolation gap) may be required with the 20-lead
SOIC models to reduce dipole antenna effects and provide
sufficient margin below Class B emissions limits. The 20-lead
SSOP models pass the Class B limits up to 150 MHz clock
frequencies with no extra PCB measures.
The best practice for high speed PCB design avoids any other emis-
sions from PCBs in applications that use the ADN4650/ADN4651/
ADN4652. Special care is recommended for off board connections,
where switching transients from high speed LVDS signals (and
clocks in particular) may conduct onto cabling, resulting in
radiated emissions. Use common-mode chokes, ferrites, or
other filters as appropriate at the LVDS connectors, as well as
cable shield or PCB ground connections to earth/chassis.
The ADN4650/ADN4651/ADN4652 require appropriate
decoupling of the VDDx pins with 100 nF capacitors. If the
integrated LDO is not used, and a 2.5 V supply is connected
directly, connect the appropriate VINx pin to the supply as well,
as shown in Figure 38, using the ADN4651 as an example.

Figure 39. Required PCB Layout When Using the LDO (3.3 V Supply)
When the integrated LDO is used, bypass capacitors of 1 µF are
required on the VINx pins and on the nearest VDDx pins (LDO
output), as shown in Figure 39, using the ADN4651 as an
example.
MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY
The limitation on the magnetic field immunity of the device
is set by the condition in which the induced voltage in the
transformer receiving coil is sufficiently large, either to falsely
set or reset the decoder. The following analysis defines such
conditions. The ADN4650/ADN4651/ADN4652 are examined
in a 2.375 V operating condition because it represents the most
susceptible mode of operation for this product.
