DS36C279TM/NOPB

Overview

The DS36C279TM/NOPB is a dual high-speed bi-directional differential transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, originally part of the National Semiconductor portfolio. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius and utilizes a 14-pin SOIC package. The device functions as an LVDS interface IC, providing differential transmission capabilities for data communication applications requiring high-speed bidirectional signal integrity.

Feature Summary

• Supports dual high-speed bi-directional differential transmission
• Compatible with LVDS interface standards
• Operates in commercial temperature ranges

Applications

• LVDS interface circuits
• Dual line transceiver systems
• High-speed data communication links

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the component originates from National Semiconductor but is now managed by Texas Instruments. Confirm the specific suffix /NOPB indicates lead-free compliance and check the package type against design requirements. Ensure the source documentation explicitly identifies the part as a dual high-speed bi-directional differential transceiver to avoid substitution errors with similar interface devices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel LVDS transceiver is required for bidirectional data paths. Verify that the 14-pin SOIC footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Consider the commercial temperature range suitability for the intended operating environment. Cross-reference with other DS36C2xx series variants if pinout or speed specifications differ slightly from project needs.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS36C2xx series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It shares functional similarities with parts like the DS36C200M and DS36C279T, serving as a line driver or receiver in differential signaling applications. The series is characterized by high-speed performance and compatibility with low-voltage differential signaling standards used in display and data interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

The DS36C200M/NOPB and DS36C279T are related components within the same family. Verify electrical characteristics and pin compatibility before substituting. Other variants such as DS36C200MX-NOPB may offer tape-and-reel packaging options.
