DESCRIPTION
The SN65LVCP418 is an 8 Channel signal
conditioning buffer in a flow-through pin-out allowing
for ease in PCB layout. VML signaling is used to
achieve a high-speed data throughput while using low
power. Internal signal paths are fully differential to
achieve the high signaling speeds while maintaining
low signal skews. The SN65LVCP418 incorporates
100-Ω termination resistors for those applications
where board space is a premium. Built-in transmit
pre-emphasis and receive equalization for superior
signal integrity performance.
The SN65LVCP418 is characterized for operation
from –40°C to 85°C.
