description
The SN55LVDS31, SN65LVDS31,
SN65LVDS3487, and SN65LVDS9638 are
differential line drivers that implement the
electrical characteristics of low-voltage differential
signaling (L VDS). This signaling technique lowers
the output voltage levels of 5 V differential
standard levels (such as TIA/EIA-422B) to reduce
the power, increase the switching speeds, and
allow operation with a 3.3-V supply rail. Any of the
four current-mode drivers will deliver a minimum
differential output voltage magnitude of 247 mV
into a 100-Ω load when enabled.
The intended application of these devices and
signaling technique is for point-to-point baseband
data transmission over controlled impedance
media of approximately 100 Ω. The transmission
media may be printed-circuit board traces,
backplanes, or cables. The ultimate rate and
distance of data transfer is dependent upon the
attenuation characteristics of the media and the
noise coupling to the environment.
The SN65LVDS31, SN65LVDS3487, and
SN65LVDS9638 are characterized for operation
from –40°C to 85°C. The SN55LVDS31 is
characterized for operation from –55°C to 125°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
