MLVD20XBEVM M-LVDS Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments MLVD20XBEVM Multipoint-Low Voltage Differential Signaling (M-LVDS) Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed to help evaluate M-LVDS devices. In the RUM package, the SN65MLVD203B and SN65MLVD204B are installed on the circuit board. The other M-LVDS devices evaluated with this evaluation module are in the SN75ALS180 and SN75176 footprint. These industry-standard footprints allow the designer to easily configure the parts into a simplex or half-duplex data bus. These are all TIA/EIA−899 MLVDS standard-compliant devices. While initially intended for half-duplex or multipoint applications, M-LVDS devices are not precluded from being used in a point-to-point or multidrop configuration. In these configurations, a distinct advantage is gained by the additional current drive provided by an M-LVDS driver.
