DS38EP100SDX/NOPB

Specialized Overview

The DS38EP100SDX/NOPB is a passive equalizer from Texas Instruments designed for backplane and cable applications. It supports data rates up to 5 Gbps. The device operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes a 6-WSON package suitable for surface-mount installation. The component functions as a signal conditioner to mitigate channel loss in high-speed serial links.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Passive equalization architecture for signal integrity enhancement
• Supports data transmission speeds up to 5 Gbps
• Optimized for backplane and cable interconnect environments

Specialized Applications

• Backplane signal conditioning
• Cable link equalization
• High-speed serial interface pre-emphasis compensation

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SDX' against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard WSON-6 footprint dimensions during procurement planning. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current manufacturer declarations.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when passive equalization is sufficient for the target channel loss profile at 5 Gbps. Compare power consumption metrics against active alternatives if thermal constraints are critical. Verify that the 6-WSON package fits within the available PCB area and clearance requirements.
