Hi guys.
I'm interested in using the DS92LV040A for LVDS operation. In the Fig.1, it is shown that this supports receiving and transmiting using the same pair of traces. At the other hand, you can see, for example, DIN1 (Driver input 1) is unidirectional and RO1 (Receiver Output 1) is also unidirectional, and as is shown in the image for this I would need two independent pins for just DIN1 and RO1. (I'm asking about DIN1 and RO1, but I want to do that with the remaining pins too)
So I'd like to ask: Can I route together the DIN1 and RO1? is there some inconvenient that prevents to do this? I'd like to route this signals together because with that now my trace can work in a bidirectional way which let me also save some pins.
Additionally, I'd like to route together the enable pins, DE1 and RE1* for single bit control. some inconvenient doing this?
An additional question I have is: the 155 MBPS the datasheet specify for speed is for what? a single pair? that means that a single pair can work with and effective speed of up to 155 MHz?

thank you for the help.
