DS15BR401TSQX/NOPB

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS15BR401TSQX/NOPB is a four-channel LVDS buffer and repeater manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for automotive applications. It supports data rates up to 2 Gb/s per channel with input compatibility for CML, LVDS, and LVPECL signals, outputting standard LVDS. The device operates on a single 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply, drawing approximately 215 mA. It features integrated 100 Ω differential termination resistors at both inputs and outputs. Packaged in a TQFP-48 format, it functions within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Four independent channels provide signal buffering and repeating capabilities for high-speed serial links.
• Integrated 100 Ω differential termination resistors are included at both the input and output ports to simplify board design.
• Supports multiple input voltage standards including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL for flexible system integration.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems requiring robust LVDS transmission
• In-vehicle network interfaces utilizing high-speed differential signaling
• Display interface repeaters for cockpit and rear-seat entertainment

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TSQX' indicates automotive qualification and tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the component matches the required operating temperature range for the intended deployment environment before finalizing orders.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when four-channel LVDS buffering with integrated termination is required for automotive environments. Compare against non-automotive variants like the TVS version if industrial grade suffices. Ensure the TQFP-48 package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 3.3 V supply rail aligns with the system power architecture.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the DS15BR401 family of LVDS buffers and repeaters from Texas Instruments. It shares core functionality with the DS15BR401TVS/NOPB but differs in automotive qualification and packaging style. The TSQX suffix denotes a specific tape-and-reel variant optimized for automated assembly processes in manufacturing lines.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The DS15BR401TVS/NOPB serves as a functional equivalent with identical electrical specifications but utilizes a tray package and lacks automotive qualification. Verify package pinout compatibility and thermal performance differences between TQFP-48 and alternative packages before substitution.
