Supply rail and 5V compatibility
The supply range is 2.4V to 3.6V, so this part is not intended for direct 5V operation. If your system has a 5V rail, you will need a 3.3V regulator to power the receiver. The LVDS input common-mode range is specified relative to the supply, so staying within the rated VCC window is essential for proper signal detection.
Housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (SC-74A) package, the SN65LVDS2DBVRG4 occupies minimal board area. The SOT-23-5 footprint is a standard layout shared with many logic and interface ICs, so PCB layout is straightforward. The device is surface-mount only.
