SN65LVDS16DRFR Application Field and Working Principle

The SN65LVDS16DRFR is a low-voltage differential signaling device from Texas Instruments. It is part of the company’s line-up of low power and cost-effective signal-conditioning solutions.

The SN65LVDS16DRFR is a receiver-translator circuit that provides an efficient way to convert high-speed digital signals between Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) standards. This LVDS receiver-transmitter is capable of providing data rates up to 3 Mbps. The voltage-ratio input is capable of accepting a differential voltage of up to ±1.265 V, while the output is provided in a single-ended output format at a nominal supply of 3.3 V.

The SN65LVDS16DRFR is designed to support data communications in applications such as point-to-point data transfer, panel displays, DVI, and HDMI. It is particularly useful for long-distance transmission and for working in high-noise environments with electromagnetic interference. It is easy to install as it is available in a small 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package.

Application Field

The SN65LVDS16DRFR is a low-power and cost-effective inter-device communication solution for applications where long-distance serial communications are required. It is useful in digital audio-video systems, computer peripherals, DVI/HDTV, and panel displays.

Working Principle

The SN65LVDS16DRFR is a receiver-translator circuit that translates a differential voltage input into a single-ended output. The input voltage must be within the range of ±1.265 V. The input signals are then converted to a double-data-rate LVDS clock format, with a maximum data rate of 3 Mbps. This translates to a maximum clock frequency of 900 kHz. The output is then provided in a single-ended form.

The SN65LVDS16DRFR also offers a termination resistor circuit, which can be used to ensure an optimal electrical impedance balance on the input and output lines. The device includes a special output circuit that maintains low-power consumption while delivering excellent output voltage swing and a low output delay. It also offers improved data integrity and error-free transmission.

Conclusion

The SN65LVDS16DRFR from Texas Instruments is an ideal low-power and cost-effective differential signaling solution for applications that require long-distance serial communications, such as digital audio-video systems, computer peripherals, DVI/HDTV, and panel displays. It is capable of providing data rates up to 3 Mbps, with a maximum clock frequency of 900 kHz. The device also includes a termination resistor circuit, which can be used to ensure an optimal electrical impedance balance on the input and output lines.
