What is LVDS

What is a LVDS?

LVDS, or low-voltage differential signalling, was introduced in the mid-1990’s and is very popular in computers, where it forms part of very high-speed networks and computer buses. It is a high-speed digital interface that is used for several applications that require high noise immunity and low power consumption for high data rates. LVDS is used in several applications and industries, including commercial and military applications. The LVDS standard provides guidelines defining the electrical characteristics for driver output and receiver input of an LVDS interface. Growing demands for bandwidth have resulted in the development of high performance technologies based on high-speed LVDS connections. Due to the high noise immunity and low power aspects of LVDS and the great quantity of commercial off the shelf LVDS components, several military and aerospace applications have selected LVDS as a robust and long-term solution for high-speed data transmission.

Types of LVDS

There are many different kinds of LVDS and at Future Electronics we stock many of the most common types categorized by data rate, operating temperature range, packaging type and supply voltage. The parametric filters on our website can help refine your search results depending on the specifications required.

The most common sizes for data rate are 155.5 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 800 Mbps, 1.5 Gbps and 3.125 Gbps. We also carry LVDS with data rates up to 10.3125 Mbps. Operating temperature range should also be considered, with several ranges from -65 oC to 150 oC.

LVDS From Future Electronics

Future Electronics has a full selection of LVDS, including LVDS for programming and driver, receiver, transceiver, connector, controller, switch, repeater, mini, dual, transmitter, repeater, deserializer, single channel and optical transmitter receiver units.

We offer LVDS from several manufacturers. Simply choose from the LVDS technical attributes below and your search results will quickly be narrowed to match your specific LVDS application needs.

If you have a preferred brand, we deal with several manufacturers such as Austriamicrosystems, Fairchild, Micrel Semiconductor, National Semiconductor or Pericom. You can easily refine your LVDS product search results by clicking your preferred LVDS brand below from our list of manufacturers.

Applications for LVDS:

LVDS are designed to be used for applications including flat panel displays that use an LVDS connection to the graphics card as well as for high data transmission in printers, digital copiers and cell phones. Due to its low noise emission and high noise rejection characteristics, LVDS is a reliable choice for military and aerospace applications. LVDS interfaces are used for avionic communications and surveillance to protect the integrity of the transmitted signals.

Choosing the Right LVDS:

When you are looking for the right LVDS, with the Google parametric search, you can filter the results by various attributes: by data rate (155.5 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 800 Mbps, 1.5 Gbps, 3.125 Gbps,…), operating temperature range (from as low as -65 oC to as high as 150 oC) and supply voltage (up to 5.5V) to name a few. You will be able to find the right LVDS for programming and driver, dual, transmitter, repeater, deserializer, receiver, transceiver, connector, controller, switch, repeater, mini, optical transmitter receiver and single channel units using these filters.

LVDS in Production Ready Packaging or R&D Quantities

If the quantity of LVDS required is less than a full reel, we offer to our customers several of our LVDS products in tube, tray or individual quantities that will avoid unneeded surplus.

In addition, Future Electronics offers its clients a unique bonded inventory program designed to eliminate potential problems that may arise from an unpredictable supply of products containing raw metals and products with long or erratic lead times.
