5 Description (Continued)

The SN75LVDS83B requires no external components and little or no control. The data bus appears the same at the input to the transmitter and output of the receiver with the data transmission transparent to the user(s). The only user intervention is selecting a clock rising edge by inputting a high level to CLKSEL or a falling edge with a low-level input, and the possible use of the Shutdown/Clear (SHTDN). SHTDN is an active-low input to inhibit the clock, and shut off the LVDS output drivers for lower power consumption. A low-level on this signal clears all internal registers to a low-level.

The SN75LVDS83B is characterized for operation over ambient air temperatures of –10°C to 70°C.

Alternative device option: The SN75LVDS83A (SLLS980) is an alternative to the SN75LVDS83B for clock frequency range of 10MHz-100MHz only. The SN75LVDS83A is available in the TSSOP package option only.
