DS32EL0124SQX/NOPB

Overview

The DS32EL0124SQX/NOPB is a high-speed FPGA-Link deserializer manufactured by Texas Instruments, originally developed under the National Semiconductor brand. It operates within a frequency range of 125 MHz to 312.5 MHz, supporting data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s. The device features a DDR LVDS parallel interface for efficient data reception. It is housed in a 48-pin WQFN package and is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports DDR LVDS parallel interface for high-bandwidth data transfer
• Operates at frequencies between 125 MHz and 312.5 MHz
• Designed specifically for FPGA-Link applications

Applications

• FPGA interconnect systems requiring high-speed data deserialization
• High-performance computing data links
• Telecommunications equipment with parallel interface requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the component originates from National Semiconductor but is now distributed by Texas Instruments following their acquisition. Confirm that the NOPB suffix indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence. Ensure the SQX package variant matches the required PCB footprint specifications for the 48-WQFN form factor before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated deserializer is needed for FPGA-Link architectures operating up to 3.125 Gb/s. It serves as the complementary counterpart to serializers like the DS32EL0421. Consider the thermal performance of the WQFN package if the application involves sustained high-frequency operation within the specified industrial temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS32EL series of serializers and deserializers designed for FPGA interconnects. It complements the DS32EL0421 serializer, forming a complete link solution. The series utilizes DDR LVDS technology to maximize bandwidth efficiency over parallel interfaces, addressing the growing data throughput demands of modern field-programmable gate arrays.

Replacement Considerations

The DS32EL0124SQX-NOPB is functionally equivalent to the DS32EL0124SQX/NOPB. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics against other members of the DS32EL family, such as the DS32EL0124, ensuring the specific package and temperature grade match the design requirements.
