Serializer function and data-rate ceiling
The SN65LVDS95DGGREP is a 21-input LVDS serializer that collapses parallel data into three LVTTL output pairs at a serial data rate of 1.3 Gbps. The 7:1 serialization ratio means a 21-bit wide LVDS bus from the source (typically a display controller or image sensor) reduces to a three-pair differential link, cutting the cable count and connector pin-out by a factor of seven. At 1.3 Gbps per output, the aggregate serial bandwidth supports pixel clocks up to about 185 MHz (1.3 Gbps ÷ 7), which covers WXGA (1280×800 at 60 Hz) and lower-resolution panels without compression.
Industrial temperature and active lifecycle
Texas Instruments lists the product status as Active with ROHS3 compliance.
Interface translation and signal compatibility
The input side accepts LVDS levels — the common-mode range and differential swing are per the LVDS standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-644), so it mates directly with an LVDS source without external level shifting. The output side drives LVTTL levels into the sink (typically a flat-panel timing controller or FPGA I/O bank). The 21 inputs and 3 outputs are fixed; the part does not support programmable serialization ratio or spread-spectrum clocking.
