DS36C200MX

Overview

The DS36C200MX 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. The component is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package and maintains a propagation delay of 5.5 ns. It is designed for industrial temperature ranges spanning from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Bi-directional signal transmission capability allowing flexible data flow control between connected systems.
• Dual driver and receiver architecture enabling simultaneous high-speed differential signaling over short distances.
• Compatibility with both LVDS and TTL logic levels to facilitate interface bridging in mixed-signal environments.

Applications

• Short-distance high-speed digital communication links requiring differential signaling.
• Industrial control systems interfacing microcontrollers with peripheral devices.
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing LVDS/TTL hybrid interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., MX vs. NOPB) against official datasheets to confirm package type and environmental compliance. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required temperature range and pin configuration. Cross-reference manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components during sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel LVDS transceiver with TTL compatibility is required for moderate speed applications up to 100 Mb/s. Consider the 14-pin SOIC footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the 17 mA typical operating current to ensure adequate thermal management within the 0°C to +70°C operational envelope.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS36C200 series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage differential signaling standards and traditional TTL logic levels. The series is designed for robust performance in noisy industrial environments, providing reliable data transmission over short cable runs or backplanes.

Replacement Considerations

The DS36C200MX/NOPB is a direct equivalent variant differing primarily in packaging or compliance markings. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other family members may offer different speed ratings or package options but require electrical parameter validation.
