LVDS line receiver

In plain English

What does LVDS line receiver mean?

An LVDS receiver converts a compatible differential input into its specified logic output.

A simple example

The receiving end of a link can recover the logic state from the differential pair.

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

Identify the differential input pair and the receiver’s logic output. The pair’s valid input conditions and the output’s logic levels are separate specifications. Keep the sender and receiver labels visible so the drawing describes a complete direction of information flow.

Differential input
A signal interpreted from the difference between its two conductors.
Logic output
The electrical signal presented to the receiving digital circuit.

Before using this reference

  • Label the differential input pair consistently with the driver.
  • Reference accepted input conditions and termination.
  • Identify the output logic supply and destination.
Are the input pair and output at the same electrical levels?

Not necessarily. The receiver converts the selected differential input into its specified logic output. Both sides’ electrical requirements must be checked for the actual device.
