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

## 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### Terms

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

## What it represents

An LVDS driver converts a logic signal into the selected low-voltage differential output.
A board can send data over an appropriately designed differential connection to a matching receiver.
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. This is original functional artwork, not a certified standard graphic or device pinout.

## How to read it

- Identify the driver input and differential pair labels.
- Reference the supported receiver and termination.
- Show the selected supply and signal-return arrangement.
- A differential signal pair needs its specified termination and routing; two wires alone do not define a valid interface.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify the driver input and differential pair labels.
- Reference the supported receiver and termination.
- Show the selected supply and signal-return arrangement.

## Important distinction

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