DS36C200MX/NOPB

Overview

The DS36C200MX/NOPB is a dual high-speed bi-directional differential transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates two drivers and two receivers within a single package, supporting data rates up to 100 Mb/s. The device operates on a supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical operating current of 17 mA. It features LVDS and TTL input types alongside TTL and LVDS output capabilities. Propagation delay is specified at 5.5 ns. The component is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Bi-directional signal transmission capability allowing flexible data flow control between connected systems.
• Dual channel architecture providing independent driver and receiver paths for simultaneous communication.
• Compatibility with both LVDS and TTL logic levels to facilitate interface bridging.

Applications

• High-speed serial data communication links requiring differential signaling.
• Interfacing between TTL-based digital circuits and LVDS transmission lines.
• Industrial control systems utilizing RS-422 or similar differential standards.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact package variant required for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the RoHS status with current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel solution is needed for converting between TTL and LVDS domains. Evaluate the 100 Mb/s speed limit against system bandwidth requirements. Confirm that the 14-pin SOIC footprint aligns with available board space and thermal management strategies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS36C200 series of interface integrated circuits. It serves as a bridge between standard logic families and low-voltage differential signaling networks. The device is designed for applications requiring reliable data transfer over longer distances compared to single-ended signals.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements within the same family that may offer updated packaging or extended temperature ranges. Verify functional equivalence regarding pin assignments and electrical specifications before substituting.
