Multipoint-LVDS quad differential line driver

The SN65MLVD047 is a quadruple line driver. The output current of this device has been increased, in comparison to standard LVDS compliant devices, in order to support doubly terminated transmission lines and heavily loaded backplane bus applications. Backplane applications generally require impedance matching termination resistors at both ends of the bus. The effective impedance of a doubly terminated bus can be as low as 30 . The SN65MLVD047 devices allow for multiple drivers to be present on a single bus. Driver edge rate control is incorporated to support operation. The SN65MLVD047 provides 9-kV ESD protection on all bus pins.
