The SN65LVDS1050 is similar to the SN65LVDS050 except that it is characterized for operation with a lower supply voltage range and packaged in the thin shrink outline package for portable battery-powered applications.

The differential line drivers and receivers use low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) to achieve signaling rates as high as 400 Mbps. The drivers provide a minimum differential output voltage magnitude of 247 mV into a 100- load and receipt of 100-mV signals with up to 1 V of ground potential difference between a transmitter and receiver.

The intended application of this device and signaling technique is for point-to-point baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 100- characteristic impedance.
