DS90C401M/NOPB

Overview

The DS90C401M/NOPB is a dual Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical operating voltage of 5 V. The device supports data rates up to 155.5 Mbps and features a propagation delay of 6 ns. It functions within an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and consumes approximately 10 mA of operating current.

Feature Summary

• Dual LVDS driver architecture for differential signaling applications
• Compatible with standard LVDS output specifications
• Operates on a single 5 V power supply

Applications

• Parallel-to-LVDS conversion interfaces
• Display panel driving circuits
• Industrial communication links requiring differential signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and temperature grade. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to validate all technical parameters before integration into design files.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel LVDS transmitter is required for 5 V systems. Compare against the DS90C402 receiver counterpart for complete link solutions. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the specified power dissipation limits and ambient operating conditions defined in the official specifications.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS90C40x series of LVDS interface integrated circuits from Texas Instruments. It serves as the transmitter counterpart to receivers such as the DS90C402. The series is designed to facilitate high-speed data transmission over differential pairs while maintaining low electromagnetic interference standards.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90C401MX/NOPB is a verified alternative variant within the same product family. Verify package dimensions and pin compatibility before substitution.
