The Texas Instruments SN75LVDS86DGG is a 4-channel LVDS receiver from the FlatLink™ series, designed to convert serial LVDS data back into parallel TTL-level signals for flat-panel display interfaces and high-speed data links.
3V–3.6V supply — rail compatibility and decoupling
The receiver inputs are LVDS-level compliant, meaning the common-mode range and differential threshold are built for the 1.2V offset typical of LVDS transmitters. On the PCB, keep a 100 nF ceramic within 2 mm of each supply pin — the 48-TSSOP has a tight pitch (0.5 mm) and the switching noise from four channels can couple into the parallel output bus if decoupling is skimped.
It will not survive cold start below freezing or sustained ambient above 70°C without a derating analysis. For outdoor telecom cabinets or automotive cockpit displays, you step up to the industrial or automotive SN65LVDS86 variant — same pinout, wider temperature range.
For new designs, this means no immediate end-of-life risk — but TI's FlatLink portfolio has been consolidating toward the SN65LVDS86 family for wider temperature support.
