Each of the four receivers handles a 200 Mbps data stream, which translates to a 100 MHz clock-equivalent rate for NRZ data. At this speed, the LVDS signalling maintains a low voltage swing (typically 350 mV differential), keeping EMI low and allowing cable runs of several metres with proper termination. The 200 Mbps rate is well matched to common video, backplane, and serial-data links; if your application needs higher throughput, you would step up to a faster LVDS receiver family.
Package and footprint — 16-SOIC, surface-mount
No exposed pad or thermal vias are needed — the package dissipates through its leads and the board copper. The SOIC-16 outline is widely second-sourced, so PCB layout is straightforward and the part can be swapped with other pin-compatible quad LVDS receivers if supply conditions change.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
