EVAL-CN0256-EBZ

The EVAL-CN0256-EBZ is an isolated LVDS interface circuit evaluation board. This evaluation board comprises of ADN4663 dual channel LVDS driver, ADN4664 dual channel LVDS receiver, ADuM3442 quad channel digital isolator and ADuM5000 isolated DC to DC converter. Low voltage differential signalling (LVDS) is an established standard (TIA/EIA-644) for low power, high speed, point to point communication. It is used in instrumentation and control applications to send high volumes of data across backplanes or short cable links or to distribute high speed clocks to different parts of an application circuit. Advantages of isolating LVDS interfaces include protection against fault conditions (safety isolation) and improving robustness (functional isolation). The ADuM3442 provides digital isolation of the logic inputs to the ADN4663 LVDS driver and the logic outputs from the ADN4664 LVDS receiver. Together with provision of isolated power using the ADuM5000 isolated DC to DC converter.
