Original details: 2 questions on the SN65LVDS33-EP (i.e. SN65LVDS33MDREP), Quad LVDS Diff Line Rx
1. I am using this part to convert a differential LVDS 100 MHz clock to TTL for a frequency measurement on a scope. Can you tell me what is the maximum Frequency that can be supported by this 400 Mbps device? If this device cannot support a 100 MHz clock input, is there any other equivalent device LVDS/LVTTL that supports a higher bit rate?
2. With regards to the Fail Safe circuit, the datasheet implies that it will detect if both inputs are missing, but it is not clear if it will detect only 1 input missing? Can you please tell me if this device will detect only 1 of the 2 inputs missing with no external circuitry? If not, can you suggest any external circuitry that will help detect 1 of the 2 inputs missing. I do not want any false PASSES because of a missing input due to noise.
