LVDS Receiver & Transmitter
Figure 11–3 shows a simple point-to-point LVDS application where the
source of the data is an LVDS transmitter. These LVDS signals are
typically transmitted over a pair of printed circuit board (PCB) traces, but
a combination of a PCB trace, connectors, and cables is a common
application setup.
