DS15BR400TVS/NOPB

Overview

The DS15BR400TVS/NOPB is a four-channel LVDS buffer and repeater manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports data rates up to 2 Gb/s with low jitter performance from DC to the maximum speed. The device accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL input signals and converts them to LVDS outputs. It operates on a single 3.3 V power supply, drawing approximately 215 mA of operating current. The component functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 48-pin TQFP package.

Feature Summary

• Provides signal buffering and repeating capabilities for high-speed serial data links
• Supports multiple input standards including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL for flexible system integration
• Converts various input formats to standard LVDS outputs for robust transmission

Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems requiring signal distribution
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing LVDS interfaces
• Industrial control networks needing reliable signal regeneration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TVS against the official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the NOPB designation confirms lead-free and RoHS compliance status as defined by the manufacturer. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require driving multiple loads from a single source using LVDS signaling. It is suitable for applications needing conversion from CML or LVPECL sources to LVDS destinations. Consider the 48-pin TQFP package constraints and the 3.3 V power requirement during PCB layout and power budgeting phases.
