What the 400 Mbps full-duplex LVDS transceiver buys you
The SN65LVDS050PW is a 2/2 driver/receiver LVDS transceiver rated for 400 Mbps per channel in full-duplex mode — the differential swing stays within 350 mV typical, keeping EMI low enough that the pair can run across a backplane or ribbon cable without a separate shield for runs under a few metres.
Package and board integration
Housed in a 16-TSSOP (4.40 mm width, 0.65 mm pitch), the footprint is small enough to fit on a 2-layer board if the differential pairs are routed with consistent impedance — the 0.65 mm pitch keeps the trace escape manageable without micro-vias. Surface-mount assembly with standard reflow profile; the narrow body means the part sits flush against the PCB, so a pick-and-place nozzle with a 6 mm tip clears the neighbouring components.
ROHS3 compliant, which covers the full ten restricted substance categories including the four phthalates — no exemption paperwork needed for EU or California market shipments.
