Figure 9-1 shows how LVDS drivers and receivers are intended to be primarily used in a simple point-to-point configuration. This configuration provides a clean signaling environment for the fast edge rates of the drivers. The receiver is connected to the source through a impedance controlled 100 Ω differential PCB traces. A termination resistor of 100 Ω should be used, and is located as close to the receiver input pins as possible. The termination resistor converts the driver output (current mode) into a voltage that is detected by the receiver.
