DS36C200IMA/NOPB

Overview

The DS36C200IMA/NOPB is a dual high-speed bi-directional differential transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical operating voltage of 5 V. The device supports data rates up to 100 Mb/s and features a propagation delay of 5.5 ns. It integrates two drivers and two receivers, converting between TTL/CMOS logic levels and LVDS differential signaling. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Bi-directional signal conversion between single-ended TTL/CMOS inputs and low-voltage differential outputs
• Integrated ESD protection on all pins to safeguard against electrostatic discharge events
• Supports full-duplex communication over twisted-pair transmission lines

Applications

• LVDS cable replacement applications requiring point-to-point connectivity
• High-speed serial data transmission in industrial control systems
• Video signal distribution in display interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IMA' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-SOIC configuration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate electrical characteristics match system requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing standard CMOS logic with LVDS transmission lines at speeds up to 100 Mb/s. Consider the 8-pin SOIC package constraints for board space. Verify that the 5 V supply voltage aligns with the system power architecture. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities within the specified commercial temperature range.
