DS280MB810ZBLR

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS280MB810ZBLR is a low-power, eight-channel linear repeater manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports data rates up to 28 Gbps per channel and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 3.3 V. The device utilizes an SMBus interface for configuration and control. Designed for high-speed serial communication applications, it provides signal integrity enhancement through linear equalization. The component is housed in a compact FCCSP-135 package, suitable for space-constrained designs requiring multi-lane signal distribution.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ZBLR against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing SMBbus addressing schemes if integrating multiple devices on the same bus chain. Confirm environmental compliance status such as RoHS requirements prior to final procurement decisions.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring eight-channel signal regeneration at speeds up to 28 Gbps. Compare performance metrics against retimer alternatives like the DS280DF810 if clock recovery is necessary rather than simple linear re-driving. Evaluate board space constraints regarding the FCCSP-135 footprint during the initial schematic capture phase.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the DS280 family of high-speed interface solutions from Texas Instruments. It serves as a linear repeater, distinct from retimers which perform clock-data recovery. The device complements other components in the series, allowing mixed deployments of drivers and repeaters on shared buses for optimized system design.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The DS280DF810 offers similar pinout compatibility but functions as a retimer rather than a linear repeater. Verify if clock recovery capabilities are required or if simple signal re-driving suffices for the application.
