PRODUCTION DATA.
The SN65LVDS4 device is a single-channel LVDS line receiver. It operates from two power supplies, VCC which is the core power supply and VDD which is the output drive power supply. The input signal to the SN65LVDS4 is a differential LVDS signal. The output of the device can be 3.3V LVTTL, 2.5V LVCMOS or 1.8V LVCMOS. This LVDS receiver requires ±50 mV of input signal to determine the correct state of the received signal. The SN65LVDS4 can be used in a point-to-point system or in a multidrop system.
One of the most common problems with differential signaling applications is how the system responds when no differential voltage is present on the signal pair. The LVDS receiver is like most differential line receivers, in that the output logic state can be indeterminate when the differential input voltage is between –50 mV and 50 mV and within its recommended input common-mode voltage range.
Open circuit means that there is little or no input current to the receiver from the data line itself. This could be when the driver is in a high-impedance state or the cable is disconnected. When this occurs, TI recommends to have an external failsafe solution as shown in Figure 20. In the external failsafe solution, the A side is pulled to VCC via a weak pullup resistor and the B side is pulled down via a weak pulldown resistor. This creates a voltage offset and prevents the receiver from switching based on noise.
