DESCRIPTION
The SN65MLVD201, 203, 206, and 207 are
multipoint-low-voltage differential (M-LVDS) line
drivers and receivers, which are optimized to operate at signaling rates up to 200 Mbps. All parts comply
with the multipoint low-voltage differential signaling
(M-LVDS) standard TIA/EIA-899. These circuits are
similar to their TIA/EIA-644 standard compliant LVDS
counterparts, with added features to address
multipoint applications. The driver output has been
designed to support multipoint buses presenting loads as low as 30 Ω, and incorporates controlled
transition times to allow for stubs off of the backbone
transmission line.
These devices have Type-1 and Type-2 receivers
that detect the bus state with as little as 50 mV of
differential input voltage over a common-mode
voltage range of -1 V to 3.4 V. The Type-1 receivers
exhibit 25 mV of differential input voltage hysteresis
to prevent output oscillations with slowly changing
signals or loss of input. Type-2 receivers include an
offset threshold to provide a known output state
under open-circuit, idle-bus, and other faults
conditions. The devices are characterized for
operation from –40°C to 85°C.
