Introduction
This is the user’s guide for the evaluation modules (EVMs) for the Texas Instru-
ments’ SN65LVDS387EVM 16-channel LVDS driver EVM and the
SN65LVDS386EVM 16-channel LVDS receiver EVM. One manual is used for
both EVMs because the boards are similar for both devices. The EVMs are
CE-compliant for distribution within the European Community.
Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), as documented in TIA/EIA-644, is
a balanced signaling method used for high-speed transmission of binary data
over copper. It is well recognized that the benefits of balanced-data transmis-
sion begin to outweigh the cost advantages of single-ended techniques when
signal-transition times approach 10 nS. This represents signaling rates ap-
proaching 30 Megabits per second (Mbps) Presently, LVDS devices operate
with signaling rates in the hundreds of Mbps. This performance is achieved
with reduced power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference
(EMI) emissions compared to other data transmission standards, such as
TIA/EIA–422 and TIA/EIA–232 (also known as RS–232 and RS–422, respec-
tively), PECL, etc.

Note:
To Designers
Both EVMs use the same printed-wiring board (PWB). The 387 device is
mounted with the device’s pin 1 facing the top of the PWB, and the 386 is
mounted with the device’s pin 1 facing the bottom of the PWB.
