APPLICATION INFORMATION
Type-1 and Type-2 receivers
The M-LVDS standard defines Type-1 and Type-2 receivers. Type-1 receivers include no provisions for failsafe
and have their differential input voltage thresholds near zero volts. Type-2 receivers have their differential input
voltage thresholds offset from zero volts to detect the absence of a voltage difference. Type-1 receivers
maximize the differential noise margin and are intended for maximum signaling rates. Type-2 receivers are
intended for control signals and slower signaling rates. The impact on receiver output by the offset input can
be seen in Table 3 and Figure 33.
