The SN65LVDS1 input is designed to support a wide input voltage range. The input stage can accept signals as high as 5 V, independent of the supply voltage being used on the driver. This wide input range allows operation with 3.3-V and 5-V sources. While the input stage does support this wide input range, the driver will operate with a decision threshold of ~1.4 V. For LVTTL input signals, this threshold is well-matched to the voltages representing HI and LO logic levels. For 5-V TTL input signals and CMOS input signals, this fixed threshold at 1.4 V will result in some duty-cycle distortion. The level of the distortion is easily calculated based upon the input slew rate, as well as the signaling rate of the input data. Quite often this distortion is insignificant, although the designer should consider this effect where the device is operated at higher speeds, or when duty-cycle is a critical feature.
