The \x91LVDS388 and \x91LVDT388 (T designates integrated termination) are eight differential line
receivers that implement the electrical characteristics of low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS).
This signaling technique lowers the output voltage levels of 5-V differential standard levels (such as
EIA/TIA-422B) to reduce the power, increase the switching speeds, and allow operation with a 3-V
supply rail. Any of the eight differential receivers will provide a valid logical output state with a
±100-mV differential input voltage within the input common-mode voltage range. The input
common-mode voltage range allows 1 V of ground potential difference between two LVDS
nodes. Additionally, the high-speed switching of LVDS signals always require the use of a line
impedance matching resistor at the receiving end of the cable or transmission media. The LVDT
product eliminates this external resistor by integrating it with the receiver.
The intended application of this device and signaling technique is for point-to-point baseband data transmission
over controlled impedance media of approximately 100 . The transmission media may be printed-circuit board
traces, backplanes, or cables. The large number of drivers integrated into the same substrate along with the
low pulse skew of balanced signaling, allows extremely precise timing alignment of clock and data for
synchronous parallel data transfers. When used with its companion, 8-channel driver, the SN65LVDS389 over
150 million data transfers per second in single-edge clocked systems are possible with very little power. 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 SN65LVDS388 and SN65LVDT388 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C. The SN75LVDS388
and SN75LVDT388 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
