The SN65LVDS179, SN65LVDS180, SN65LVDS050, and SN65LVDS051 are differential line drivers and receivers that use low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) to achieve signaling rates as high as 400 Mbps. The TIA/EIA-644 standard compliant electrical interface provides a minimum differential output voltage magnitude of 247 mV into a 100- load and receipt of 50-mV signals with up to 1 V of ground potential difference between a transmitter and 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- characteristic impedance. The transmission media may be printed-circuit board traces, backplanes, or cables. (Note: The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer depends on the attenuation characteristics of the media, the noise coupling to the environment, and other application specific characteristics).
