Quad LVDS receiver — what the specs mean for a 560 Mbps link
The SN65LVDT348D is a four-channel LVDS receiver in the 65LVDT family from Texas Instruments. Its listed type is Receiver — no integrated driver, so it is a unidirectional endpoint for differential signals coming from an LVDS driver or transceiver on the other side of the cable or backplane. Data rate is rated at 560 Mbps per channel. That is fast enough for most serial video links, high-speed ADC data capture, or aggregated sensor busses running CPRI or JESD204B sub-lanes. The 50 mV receiver hysteresis gives a noise margin that an ordinary LVDS receiver without hysteresis lacks — helpful when the incoming signal has travelled a long PCB trace or a twisted pair through an electrically noisy environment. Supply voltage is 3V to 3.6V. The 16-SOIC package is a standard 3.90 mm wide body — minimal layout change if you are swapping in from an earlier SOIC-16 LVDS receiver.
