Quad LVDS receiver for 400 Mbps serial links
The SN65LVDS3486BD: It integrates four independent receivers in a single 16-SOIC package, each with 50 mV of hysteresis for noise rejection on long backplane traces or cable runs.
The 400 Mbps per-channel data rate is the practical ceiling for point-to-point LVDS links over short backplane traces (under a few meters). At this speed, the 50 mV of built-in hysteresis provides about 10% of the typical LVDS differential swing (350 mV), which helps reject coupled noise from adjacent switching lines. For longer cables or noisier environments, the hysteresis reduces the chance of false triggering on the receiver side without needing external filtering. The 0/4 driver/receiver count means this is a pure receiver — you pair it with a separate LVDS driver or transceiver on the transmit side.
This makes it a straightforward choice for new designs that need a quad LVDS receiver in the 16-SOIC footprint. The base product number is 65LVDS3486, and the 'BD' suffix indicates the lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish — no separate conversion needed for RoHS-driven BOMs.
