The Texas Instruments SN65LVDS3486AD is officially listed as Obsolete. This is not a last-time-buy window — production has ended.
Quad LVDS receiver — 400 Mbps, 50 mV hysteresis
The SN65LVDS3486AD is a quad-channel LVDS receiver from TI's 65LVDS family, in a 16-SOIC package. It converts four differential LVDS signal pairs into single-ended CMOS outputs, rated for a 400 Mbps per-channel data rate. The 50 mV of receiver hysteresis provides noise rejection on the differential inputs — useful when the cable run picks up common-mode noise in an industrial or telecom backplane environment.
The industrial temperature rating means the receiver's input thresholds and output timing stay within spec across the full span — no derating needed for a 70°C cabinet interior.
