Note 9: t_SKD2 is the differential channel-to-channel skew of any event on the same device. This specification applies to devices having multiple receivers within the
integrated circuit.
Note 10: t_SKD3, part to part skew, is the differential channel-to-channel skew of any event between devices. This specification applies to devices at the same V_CC
and within 5˚C of each other within the operating temperature range.
Note 11: t_SKD4, part to part skew, is the differential channel-to-channel skew of any event between devices. This specification applies to devices over the recom-
mended operating temperature and voltage ranges, and across process distribution. t_SKD4 is defined as |Max − Min| differential propagation delay.
Note 12: V_CC is always higher than R_IN+ and R_IN− voltage. R_IN+ and R_IN− are allowed to have voltage range −0.05V to +3.05V. V_ID is not allowed to be greater
than 100 mV when V_CM = 0V or 3V.
Note 13: f_MAX generator input conditions: t_r = t_f < 1 ns (0% to 100%), 50% duty cycle, differential (1.05V to 1.35 peak to peak). Output criteria: 60%/40% duty cycle,
V_OL (max 0.4V), V_OH (min 2.7V), load = 15 pF (stray plus probes).

LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used
in an uncomplicated point-to-point configuration as is shown
in Figure 3. This configuration provides a clean signaling en-
vironment for the fast edge rates of the drivers. The receiver
is connected to the driver through a balanced media which
may be a standard twisted pair cable, a parallel pair cable, or
simply PCB traces. Typically the characteristic impedance of
the media is in the range of 100Ω. A termination resistor of
100Ω should be selected to match the media, and is located
as close to the receiver input pins as possible. The termina-
tion resistor converts the driver output (current mode) into a
voltage that is detected by the receiver. Other configurations
are possible such as a multi-receiver configuration, but the
effects of a mid-stream connector(s), cable stub(s), and
other impedance discontinuities as well as ground shifting,
noise margin limits, and total termination loading must be
taken into account.
The DS90LV028A differential line receiver is capable of de-
tecting signals as low as 100 mV, over a ±1V common-mode
range centered around +1.2V. This is related to the driver off-
