DS90C401M-TI

Overview

The DS90C401M/NOPB is a dual Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports data rates up to 155.5 Mbps. The device features two independent drivers in an 8-pin SOIC package, designed for high-speed digital video transmission. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 6 ns and a typical operating current of 10 mA at 5 V. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes LVDS input signals to generate differential outputs compliant with TIA/EIA-644 standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel LVDS driver architecture for parallel signal transmission
• Compatible with standard LVDS output impedance and voltage levels
• Operates on a single 5 V power supply rail
• Supports high-speed data transfer rates suitable for display interfaces

Applications

• Flat panel display interface circuits
• Digital video signal transmission systems
• Industrial control panel displays
• Medical imaging equipment displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct packaging and temperature grade. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if specified for your project. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor listings to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components during sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual LVDS driver is required for 5 V logic systems. Ensure the application demands data rates below 155.5 Mbps. Verify that the SOIC-8 package fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare against the DS90C402 if receiver functionality is needed instead of or in addition to driving capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DS90C40x series of LVDS interface ICs from Texas Instruments. It is functionally related to the DS90C402, which serves as the corresponding receiver. The series is designed to facilitate low-power, high-speed serial communication between source devices and display panels in embedded visual systems.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90C401MX/NOPB is a verified alternative variant within the same family, differing primarily in manufacturing origin or minor packaging specifications while maintaining identical electrical performance.
