DS90C385AMTX

Overview

The DS90C385AMTX is a 3.3V programmable LVDS transmitter designed for flat panel display applications. It features four drivers and twenty-eight receivers, supporting data rates up to 2450 Mb/s. The device accepts LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V, with a typical operating voltage of 3.3 V. It is housed in a 56-pin TSSOP package suitable for surface mount installation. The component functions within an industrial temperature range from -10°C to +70°C and has a power dissipation rating of 1.63 W.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed serial transmission for flat panel displays via LVDS interface
• Integrates multiple drivers and receivers for complex display link architectures
• Compatible with standard digital logic input levels including LVCMOS and LVTTL

Applications

• Flat Panel Display (FPD) Link systems
• LVDS transmitter circuits for display interfaces
• High-speed serial data transmission modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TX' against current manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by the target application. Cross-reference the National Semiconductor origin with Texas Instruments specifications due to corporate acquisition history.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24-bit LVDS transmitter solution is required for flat panel displays. Confirm that the 56-pin TSSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 3.3V supply rail aligns with the system design requirements and that the input signal levels match the source controller's output standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS90C385A series of LVDS interface integrated circuits originally developed by National Semiconductor. Following the acquisition of National Semiconductor by Texas Instruments, these components are now managed under the TI portfolio. The device serves as a key interface element in converting parallel digital signals to serial LVDS outputs for display panels.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90C385AMT/NOPB is listed as a similar alternative, differing primarily in tube packaging rather than electrical function. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting.
