TI no longer manufactures this device, and no direct pin-compatible replacement is named in the official records. For production runs or repair stock, the part must be sourced through the independent distribution channel — new-old-stock or surplus inventory that is quoted and procured to order. Any BOM still specifying this receiver should qualify an alternative or secure a last-time-buy buffer before remaining stock clears.
The 560 Mbps data rate per channel sets the upper bound for serial LVDS links; at that speed, the differential pair needs controlled impedance (typically 100 Ω) and the trace length must be budgeted against the signal rise time. The 50 mV of built-in hysteresis helps prevent output chatter when the differential input is near the zero-crossing threshold — useful in electrically noisy environments like motor-drive backplanes or outdoor telecom cabinets where common-mode noise can couple onto the cable.
