DESCRIPTION

The SN65MLVD2 and SN65MLVD3 are single-channel M-LVDS receivers. These devices are designed in full

compliance with the TIA/EIA-899 (M-LVDS) standard, which are optimized to operate at signaling rates up to

250 Mbps. Each receiver channel is controlled by a receive enable (RE). When RE = low, the corresponding

channel is enabled; when RE = high, the corresponding channel is disabled.

The M-LVDS standard defines two types of receivers, designated as Type-1 and Type-2. Type-1 receivers

SN65MLVD2) have thresholds centered about zero with 25 mV of hysteresis to prevent output oscillations with

loss of input; Type-2 receivers (SN65MLVD3) implement a failsafe by using an offset threshold. Receiver

outputs are slew rate controlled to reduce EMI and crosstalk effects associated with large current surges.

The devices are characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
