DS90LV018ATMX

Overview

The DS90LV018ATMX is a single-channel LVDS interface integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It functions as a CMOS differential line receiver, converting low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) inputs to LVTTL outputs. The device supports data rates up to 400 Mb/s with a propagation delay of 2.5 ns. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3 V to 3.6 V, typically at 3.3 V, with a maximum operating current of 9 mA. The component is housed in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package and is rated for industrial temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Converts LVDS differential signals to LVTTL logic levels
• Supports high-speed data transmission up to 400 Mb/s
• Operates within a standard 3V power supply range

Applications

• High-speed serial data link receivers
• Display interface signal conversion
• Industrial communication systems requiring LVDS to LVTTL translation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TMX' against the official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and temperature grade. Ensure the part number matches the exact manufacturer designation to avoid confusion with similar variants in the DS90LV018A family. Cross-reference the RoHS status and lead-free compliance details directly with the manufacturer's documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel receiver is required to bridge LVDS sources with LVTTL destinations. Verify that the 400 Mb/s data rate meets system bandwidth requirements. Confirm that the SOIC-8 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the -40°C to +85°C operating range aligns with the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS90LV018A series of low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface ICs. It is designed for applications requiring reliable high-speed data transfer over twisted-pair cables or PCB traces. The series offers various channel configurations, with this specific model providing a single receiver channel for point-to-point connections.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same TI LVDS family, such as other DS90LV018 variants, ensuring identical input/output types and data rates. Verify that any substitute maintains the same SOIC-8 package dimensions and electrical specifications.
