The Texas Instruments SN75LVDS390PWG4 is a dedicated LVDS receiver that takes four differential LVDS signal pairs and converts them to single-ended CMOS logic levels. It is a receive-only device — no drivers on board — so it fits designs where the transmit side is handled by a separate LVDS driver or a serializer. The 200 Mbps per-channel data rate handles typical parallel-to-serial deserialization links, display interfaces, and backplane clock distribution. Supply range of 3V to 3.6V puts it squarely in 3.3V logic systems, and the 16-TSSOP package keeps the board footprint compact.
200 Mbps per channel — timing margin in the serial link
Each of the four receivers handles up to 200 Mbps, which translates to a 5 ns unit interval. The receiver input threshold is LVDS-standard (typically ±100 mV differential), so it works with any standard LVDS driver on the other end of the twisted pair. For a backplane or cable run, the 200 Mbps rate leaves enough timing margin for a few metres of cable plus connector losses before jitter eats the eye opening.
It is not rated for industrial floor, outdoor telecom cabinets, or automotive under-hood use.
16-TSSOP footprint — layout considerations
The surface-mount assembly is straightforward with typical reflow profiles.
