Four receivers, no drivers — pure input side
The DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB: The 0/4 driver/receiver count means this chip only buffers LVDS differential inputs to CMOS logic levels — it does not generate LVDS outputs. If you need a bidirectional link, pair it with a separate LVDS driver like the DS90LV031.
16-SOIC package — field-swappable with basic tools
Housed in a 16-SOIC with 1.27 mm pitch, this is a hand-solderable footprint. No hot-air station required for rework — a standard iron and some flux will get it done on site.
