DS90C383MTD/NOPB

Overview

The DS90C383MTD/NOPB is a programmable LVDS transmitter manufactured by Texas Instruments, which acquired National Semiconductor. It converts up to 24-bit parallel CMOS or TTL data into a serial LVDS stream for transmission over FPD-Link interfaces. The device operates on a single 3.3V supply with a voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and supports data rates up to 1.8 Gb/s. It features four drivers and twenty-eight receivers within a 56-pin TSSOP package. The component is rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and includes programmable output slew rate control.

Feature Summary

• Programmable LVDS transmitter architecture supporting flat panel display link applications
• Integrated clock recovery circuitry for high-speed serial data transmission
• Supports multiple input logic standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL

Applications

• Flat Panel Display (FPD) Link systems
• High-speed digital video transmission
• Industrial interface modules requiring LVDS conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement as the component may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Confirm that the Texas Instruments branding aligns with the original National Semiconductor part number history. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required packaging and environmental compliance specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24-bit parallel-to-serial LVDS conversion is required for display interfaces. Compare against the DS90CF384 receiver counterpart for complete link design. Verify that the 56-pin TSSOP footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints and that the 1.8 Gb/s speed meets the system bandwidth requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS90C383 series of LVDS interface integrated circuits originally developed by National Semiconductor and now managed by Texas Instruments following their acquisition. The series is designed specifically for driving flat panel displays using the FPD-Link protocol, providing a robust solution for long-distance, low-noise digital video transmission in professional and industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Public documentation indicates the DS90C383MTD variant as a direct predecessor. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics against the DS90CF384 receiver if completing a full link topology.
