LVDS line driver

In plain English

What does LVDS line driver mean?

An LVDS driver converts a logic signal into the selected low-voltage differential output.

A simple example

A board can send data over an appropriately designed differential connection to a matching receiver.

Original functional explanation. Arrows show information or energy roles; two-headed arrows identify two-way interfaces. This is not a pinout, certified standards graphic or complete circuit.

What the drawings help you do

Show the logic input and the two differential output conductors. A driver creates the signal that a compatible receiver interprets; the differential pair is not a power supply or an unspecified pair of ordinary digital outputs. Identify the selected link and termination requirements.

LVDS
Low-voltage differential signalling.
Termination
The selected circuit arrangement used to control the behaviour of the transmission connection.

Before using this reference

  • Identify the driver input and differential pair labels.
  • Reference the supported receiver and termination.
  • Show the selected supply and signal-return arrangement.
Why show the two output conductors together?

The receiver interprets their voltage difference as part of the selected differential interface. Their routing and termination must follow the actual device and link design.

A distinction that matters

A differential signal pair needs its specified termination and routing; two wires alone do not define a valid interface.
