9.2 Typical Application

Point-to-Point applications provide a clean signaling environment for the fast edge rates of the SN65LVDTxx and other LVDS components. The SN65LVDTxx is connected through a balanced media which may be a standard twisted-pair cable, a parallel pair cable, or simply PCB traces to a LVDS receiver. Typically, the characteristic differential impedance of the media is in the range of 100 Ω. The SN65LVDTxx device is intended to drive a 100-Ω transmission line. The 100-Ω termination resistor is selected to match the media and is located as close to the LVDS receiver input pins as possible.
