Eight-channel LVDS receiver in a 38-TSSOP footprint
The Texas Instruments SN75LVDS388DBT is an eight-channel LVDS receiver — a 0-driver, 8-receiver configuration — designed to convert low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data streams back to single-ended CMOS levels. This part is typically used in high-speed serial links for video interfaces, backplane data distribution, and cable-receiver applications where eight differential pairs need to be terminated and decoded on a single IC.
What the 8-receiver count and 3.3 V supply mean for your design
With eight receivers on a single die, the SN75LVDS388DBT consolidates a full byte-wide LVDS link into one package — useful for parallel LVDS interfaces like 18-bit or 24-bit flat-panel display links where each color channel plus clock uses a differential pair.
