2.1 Overview
TIA/EIA–644 specifies the LVDS driver output characteristics such that it
maintains at least 247 mV across a 100-Ω differential load. This requirement
includes the effects of up to 32 standard receivers with their ground reference
up to 1 V different from that of the driver. This common-mode loading limitation
of LVDS drivers affects how they are observed and much of the test set up that
follows. By using three power jacks (J10, J11, and J12), different methods of
termination or probing the output characteristics can be observed without
exceeding the common-mode drive capability. Figure 2–1 shows the typical
setup for the SN65LVDS122EVM.
