Description

Technical Field

[0002] LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) is a differential signal technology used for high-speed data transmission. It transmits data through two complementary signal lines (one positive and one negative). This differential signal transmission method can effectively suppress common-mode noise and improve the anti-interference ability of signal transmission.
