LVDS isolators enhanced for high-speed operation

These devices are dual-channel, signal-isolated, low voltage differential signalling (LVDS) buffers that operate up to 2.5Gbps with very low jitter.

They integrate Analog Devices iCoupler technology, enhanced for a high-speed operation.

This technology provides drop-in galvanic isolation for LVDS signal chains.

The AC coupling and/or level shifting to the LVDS receivers and from the LVDS drivers allows isolation of other high-speed signals, such as current mode logic (CML).

Applications include analogue front-end isolation, data plane isolation, isolated high-speed clock and data links, multi-gigabit serialisation/deserialisation (SERDES), and PCB-to-PCB optical replacement (for example, short reach fibre).
