This family of four, eight, and sixteen differential line drivers implements the electrical characteristics of low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS). This signaling technique lowers the output voltage levels of 5-V differential standard levels (such as EIA/TIA-422B) to reduce the power, increase the switching speeds, and allow operation with a 3.3-V supply rail. Any of the sixteen current-mode drivers will deliver a minimum differential output voltage magnitude of 247 mV into a 100- load when enabled.

The intended application of this device and signaling technique is for point-to-point and multidrop baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 100 . The transmission media can be printed-circuit board traces, backplanes, or cables.
