APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)

The enable inputs provided for each output may be used to turn on or off any of the paths. This function is

required to prevent radiation of signals from the unterminated signal lines on open connectors when boards or

devices are being swapped in the end equipment. The individual channel enables are also required if redundant

paths are being utilized for reliability reasons.

The following diagram shows how an input signal is being identically repeated out two of the available outputs. A

third output is shown in the disabled state.

An LVDS receiver can be used to receive various other types of logic signals. Figure 14 through Figure 22 show

the termination circuits for SSTL, HSTL, CTT, GTL, BTL, LVPECL, PECL, CMOS, and TTL.
