The SN65LVDS109 and SN65LVDS117 are configured as two identical banks, each bank having one differential line receiver connected to either four ('109) or eight ('117) differential line drivers. The outputs are arranged in pairs having one output from each of the two banks. Individual output enables are provided for each pair of outputs and an additional enable is provided for all outputs.
The line receivers and line drivers implement the electrical characteristics of low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS). LVDS, as specified in EIA/TIA-644, is a data signaling technique that offers low power, low noise emission, high noise immunity, and high switching speeds. (Note: The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media, the noise coupling to the environment, and other system characteristics
