VDS is short for “Low Voltage Differential Signaling” and is a high speed, low power data transmission standard. LVDS is a generic multi-purpose interface standard for high-speed low power data transmission. LVDS is standardized in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995 Electrical characteristics standard titled: “Electrical Characteristics of Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Interface Circuits. The LVDS standard is an electrical standard only defining driver output characteristics and receiver input characteristics. Guideline is also given on bus configuration, cables, and termination. Protocol, connectors, and bus structure is not defined in this standard, as they are application dependent. It is intended that these parameters are specified by the referencing standard.
