DS15BR401TVSX/NOPB

Overview

The DS15BR401TVSX/NOPB is a four-channel Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) buffer and repeater manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports data rates up to 2 Gb/s with low jitter characteristics 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 is housed in a 48-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP) package designed for surface-mount technology. It functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides four independent channels for signal buffering and repeating
• Supports multiple input standards including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL
• Converts input signals to standard LVDS output format
• Operates with low jitter performance across the full data rate spectrum

Applications

• High-speed serial data transmission systems
• Display interface circuits requiring signal integrity maintenance
• Industrial equipment with differential signaling requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm if it denotes a distinct tape-and-reel variant compared to the standard 'VS' tray packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly through the datasheet as distributor listings may vary. Ensure the TQFP-48 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when four-channel LVDS conversion is required for CML, LVDS, or LVPECL sources. It is suitable for designs needing operation at 2 Gb/s with a single 3.3 V supply. Consider the TQFP-48 package size relative to available board space. Verify thermal dissipation capabilities given the 215 mA current draw and 1.64 W power dissipation in the intended enclosure environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS15BR401 series of high-speed LVDS buffers. It shares core electrical specifications with variants like the DS15BR401TVS/NOPB but differs in packaging configuration. The series is designed for applications demanding reliable differential signaling over moderate distances with minimal signal degradation.

Replacement Considerations

The DS15BR401TVS/NOPB serves as a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical parameters. Check for availability of the TSQ/NOPB variant if a smaller WQFN-32 package is acceptable for the design.
