If you are not going to operate with very low fequency data rates you might
consider AC coupling the driver and receiver. Use dual resistors to the
optimum CM voltage of the receiver to terminate the signal AC wise.

Julia,

You need to stay in the CM range of the receiver. As the operating point
moves to the limits of the CM range the timing deteriorates. Somewhere
outside the published CM range the receiver does not function.

Steve.
