The SN65LVDS151 consists of a 10-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register, three LVDS differential transmission line receivers, a pair of LVDS differential transmission line drivers, plus associated input buffers. It accepts up to 10 bits of user data on parallel data inputs (DI-0 DI-9) and serializes (multiplexes) the data for transmission over an LVDS transmission line link. Two or more SN65LVDS151 units may be connected in series (cascaded) to accommodate wider parallel data paths for higher serialization values. Data is transmitted over the LVDS serial link at M times the input parallel data clock frequency. The multiplexing ratio M, or number of bits per data clock cycle, is programmed on the companion SN65LVDS150 MuxIt programmable PLL frequency multiplier with configuration pins (M1 M5). The range of multiplexing ratio M supported by the SN65LVDS150 MuxIt programmable PLL frequency multiplier is between 4 and 40. Table 1 shows some of the combinations of LCRI and MCI supported by the SN65LVDS150 MuxIt programmable PLL frequency multiplier.
