DS90LT012AQMFE/NOPB

Overview

The DS90LT012AQMFE/NOPB is an automotive-grade LVDS interface integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It functions as a single differential line receiver with one driver and one receiver configuration. The device supports data rates up to 400 Mb/s and accepts LVDS input signals, converting them to LVTTL output levels. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V, with a typical operating current of 9 mA at 3.3 V. The component is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards for automotive applications and features a propagation delay of 3.5 ns. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount package and is designed to function reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Automotive qualification compliant with AEC-Q100 standards for reliability in vehicle environments
• Converts low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) inputs to logic-compatible LVTTL outputs
• Operates effectively over an extended industrial and automotive temperature range

Applications

• Automotive infotainment system displays
• In-vehicle camera video transmission links
• Dashboard instrument cluster interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MFE' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout and marking details, as variations exist within the family. Ensure the component meets the required AEC-Q100 grade for the target automotive application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compatibility with current design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an LVDS-to-LVTTL conversion is required in space-constrained automotive designs. The SOT-23-5 package offers a small footprint suitable for dense PCB layouts. Consider the 3.5 ns propagation delay and 400 Mb/s speed limit to ensure signal integrity matches the system requirements. Verify that the LVTTL output voltage levels are compatible with the receiving logic gates in the downstream circuitry.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS90L(V,T)012A series of low-power LVDS receivers. It serves as the complementary receiver counterpart to drivers like the DS90LV011AQ series. The 'AQ' designation indicates automotive qualification, while the 'MFE' suffix specifies the specific tape-and-reel packaging variant. This series is widely used in automotive display and sensor applications requiring reliable differential signal reception.
