DS26LV31TMX/NOPB

Overview

The DS26LV31TMX/NOPB is a 3V Enhanced CMOS Quad Differential Line Driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features four independent drivers designed for high-speed data transmission using Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) standards. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and supports data rates up to 650 Mb/s. It is housed in a TSSOP-16 surface-mount package with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component integrates ESD protection and is RoHS compliant, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing processes.

Feature Summary

• Provides four independent differential line drivers for LVDS applications
• Operates on a single 3V enhanced CMOS power supply
• Includes electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry
• Designed for low power consumption during active and standby modes

Applications

• High-speed serial data communication links
• Point-to-point or multi-drop digital signal transmission
• Industrial control systems requiring noise immunity
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MX' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the '/NOPB' designation ensures lead-free compliance and absence of halogenated flame retardants. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Texas Instruments documentation to ensure authenticity and correct revision level before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad driver configuration is required for LVDS signaling at speeds up to 650 Mb/s. Ensure the system design accommodates the TSSOP-16 package thermal characteristics. Verify that the input logic levels are compatible with the driving source and that the load capacitance requirements fall within the datasheet specifications for reliable signal integrity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS26LV31 family of enhanced CMOS differential line drivers. It serves as the transmitting counterpart to receivers such as the DS26LV32 series. The device is part of Texas Instruments' broader portfolio of interface solutions aimed at reducing electromagnetic interference while maintaining high data throughput in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include the DS26LV31T and DS26LV31MT variants. For lead-free requirements, the NOPB suffix versions should be prioritized. Always verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters against the specific replacement datasheet before substitution.
