What this quad LVDS receiver does — and the gotcha to dodge
The SN65LVDS32PW: Converts differential LVDS signals to single-ended CMOS levels at 100 Mbps per channel. The common gotcha with this part: it is a receiver only — zero drivers on chip. Pair it with a separate LVDS driver if you need bidirectional links.
At 100 Mbps the SN65LVDS32PW handles short-to-medium reach LVDS links.
