DESCRIPTION
The SN65LVDS108 is configured as one differential line receiver connected to eight differential line drivers.
Individual output enables are provided for each output and an additional enable is provided for all outputs.
The line receivers and line drivers implement the electrical characteristics of low-voltage differential signaling
(LVDS). LVDS, as specified in EIA/TIA-644, is a data signaling technique that offers low power, low noise
emission, high noise immunity, and high switching speeds. (Note: The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer
is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media, the noise coupling to the environment, and other
system characteristics.)
The intended application of this device, and the LVDS signaling technique, is for point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint (distributed simplex) baseband data transmission on controlled impedance media of
approximately 100 W. The transmission media may be printed-circuit board traces, backplanes, or cables. The
large number of drivers integrated into the same silicon substrate, along with the low pulse skew of balanced
signaling, provides extremely precise timing alignment of the signals being repeated from the inputs. This is
particularly advantageous for implementing system clock or data distribution trees.
The SN65LVDS108 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
