Hello
I have 4 devices sending RS232 data continuosly. Those streams are converted to LVDS and transmitted over 4 couples of wires. On the other side, there is a SN65LVDT33D converting to TTL and a PIC micro with 4 UARTS. All is working fine, but the problem is that SN65LVDT33D draws 16mA when idle, which is too much for this app.
I had a look, it seems that all LVDS receivers have more or less this power consumption. Anyone can explain why? Is there any way to overcome this?
Thank you
