7.3.3 Common-Mode Range vs Supply Voltage

The SN55LVRA4-SEP receivers operate over an input extended common-mode range of -4V to 5V, allowing significant amount of ground shift between transmitter and receiver. If the input common mode is anywhere within this range and has a differential magnitude greater than or equal to 100mV, the receivers correctly output the LVDS bus state.
