10.2.1 Point-to-Point Communications

The most basic application for LVDS buffers, as found in this data sheet, is for point-to-point communications of digital data, as shown in Figure 10-2.

A point-to-point communications channel has a single transmitter (driver) and a single receiver. This communications topology is often referred to as simplex. In Figure 10-2 the driver receives a single-ended input signal and the receiver outputs a single-ended recovered signal. The LVDS driver converts the single-ended input to a differential signal for transmission over a balanced interconnecting media of 100-Ω characteristic impedance. The conversion from a single-ended signal to an LVDS signal retains the digital data payload while translating to a signal whose features are more appropriate for communication over extended distances or in a noisy environment.
