The LVDS Standard 
LVDS is currently standardized by the TIA/EIA (Telecommunications Industry 
Association/Electronic Industries Association) ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A (LVDS) Standard. 
 
The generic (multi-application) LVDS standard, ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A, began in the TIA Data 
Transmission Interface committee TR30.2 in 1995.  It was revised and published as 
ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A in 2001.  The ANSI/TIA/EIA standard defines driver output and 
receiver input characteristics, thus it is an electrical-only standard.  It does not include 
functional specifications, protocols or even complete cable characteristics since these are 
application dependent.  ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A is intended to be referenced by other 
standards that specify the complete interface (i.e. connectors, protocol).  This allows it to be 
easily adopted into many applications.  To learn more about LVDS, visit National
