The SN65LVDS152 consists of three LVDS differential transmission line receivers, an LVDS differential transmission line driver, a 10-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register, plus associated input and output buffers. It receives serialized data over an LVDS transmission line link, deserializes (demultiplexes) it, and delivers it on parallel data outputs, DO0 through DO9. Data received over the link is clocked at a factor of M times the original parallel data frequency. The multiplexing ratio M, or number of bits per data clock cycle, is programmed with configuration pins (M1 M5) on the companion SN65LVDS150 MuxIt programmable PLL frequency multiplier. Up to 10 bits of data may be deserialized and output by each SN65LVDS152. Two or more SN65LVDS152 units may be connected in series (cascaded) to accommodate wider parallel data paths for higher serialization values. 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 LCI and MCI supported by the SN65LVDS150 MuxIt programmable PLL frequency multiplier. |
