The DS90CR218A receiver deserializes three input LVDS data streams into 21 bits of CMOS/TTL output data. When operating at the maximum input clock rate of 85 Mhz, the LVDS data is received at 595 Mbps per data channel for a total data throughput of 1.785 Gbit/sec (233 Mbytes/sec). The narrow bus and LVDS signalling of the DS90CR218A is an ideal means to solve EMI and cable size problems associated with wide, high-speed TTL interfaces.
