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.
