The SN75LVDS81 FlatLink transmitter contains
four 7-bit parallel-load serial-out shift registers, a
7× clock synthesizer, and five low-voltage
differential-signaling (LVDS) line drivers in a
single integrated circuit. These functions allow

28 bits of single-ended LVTTL data to be synchronously transmitted over five balanced-pair conductors for
receipt by a compatible receiver, such as the SN75LVDS82. The SN75LVDS81 can also be used in 21-bit links
with the SN75LVDS86 receiver.
When transmitting, data bits D0 through D27 are each loaded into registers upon the falling edge of the input
clock signal (CLKIN) The frequency of CLKIN is multiplied seven times (7×) and then used to unload the data
registers in 7-bit slices and serially. The four serial streams and a phase-locked clock (CLKOUT) are then output
to LVDS output drivers. The frequency of CLKOUT is the same as the input clock, CLKIN.
The SN75LVDS81 requires no external components and little or no control. The data bus appears the same
at the input to the transmitter and output of the receiver with the data transmission transparent to the user. The
only user intervention is the possible use of the shutdown/clear (SHTDN) active-low input to inhibit the clock
and shut off the LVDS output drivers for lower power consumption. A low-level on SHTDN clears all internal
registers to a low level.
The SN75LVDS81 is characterized for operation over free-air temperature ranges of 0 C to 70 C.
