Multipoint LVDS (M-LVDS) devices provide a new class of high-speed low-power and standarized interface solutions. This report gives a brief review of TIA/EIA-899 (M-LVDS) and discusses the characteristics that affect the maximum signaling rate and distance. Maximum signaling rates are measured over 3-m 10-m 20-m and 40-m lengths of CAT5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using the SN65MLVD
