DS90LV017ATMX/NOPB

Overview

The DS90LV017ATMX/NOPB is a single LVDS differential driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, originally developed under the National Semiconductor brand. It operates on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply voltage with a typical operating voltage of 3.3 V. The device supports data rates exceeding 155 Mbps and features a propagation delay of 3.5 ns. It utilizes an 8-pin SOIC package and complies with the TIA/EIA-644 standard. The output swing is typically 340 mV, centered around a 1.2 V common-mode voltage.

Feature Summary

• Current mode drive architecture minimizes short-circuit fault currents while maintaining low power consumption at high frequencies.
• Straight-through pin configuration simplifies printed circuit board layout and reduces design complexity.
• Low differential output swing effectively reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) during signal transmission.

Applications

• High-speed data transmission systems requiring low power consumption
• Applications optimized for minimal electromagnetic interference
• Equipment requiring compatibility with TIA/EIA-644 standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Texas Instruments, which acquired National Semiconductor, when sourcing this component. Confirm the specific suffix 'ATMX/NOPB' matches the required lead-free and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the part number aligns with the single-channel LVDS driver functionality rather than receiver variants within the same family.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a single LVDS driver with a propagation delay of 3.5 ns. It is suitable for applications operating between 0°C and 70°C ambient temperature. Consider the 8-pin SOIC package constraints for PCB space. Verify that the input signal levels are compatible with the device's CMOS input requirements before integration into the system.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DS90LV01x series of Low Voltage Differential Signaling interface integrated circuits. It serves as the transmitter counterpart in LVDS communication links. The device is designed to convert single-ended CMOS inputs into differential signals for high-speed, low-noise transmission over twisted-pair cables or PCB traces.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90LV017M/NOPB is a verified equivalent variant offering identical electrical characteristics and functionality. Both parts utilize the same SOIC-8 package and support the same LVDS specifications. Ensure the replacement part maintains the same lead-free status if environmental compliance is required.
