lvds_ch1Chapter 1 Introduction to LVDS Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is a new technology addressing the needs of today’s high performance data transmission applications. The LVDS standard is becoming the most popular differential data transmission standard in the industry. This is driven by two simple features: “Gigabits @ milliwatts!” LVDS delivers high data rates while consuming significantly less power than competing technologies. In addition, it brings many other benefits, which include: Low-voltage power supply compatibility Low noise generation High noise rejection Robust transmission signals Ability to be integrated into system level ICs LVDS technology allows products to address high data rates ranging from 100’s of Mbps to greater than 2 Gbps. For all of the above reason……
