DS90LV031ATMTCX

Overview

The DS90LV031ATMTCX/NOPB is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) quad CMOS differential line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single 3 V to 3.6 V power supply with a typical operating voltage of 3.3 V and consumes approximately 30 mA of supply current. The device supports data rates up to 400 Mb/s with a propagation delay of 2 ns. It accepts CMOS or TTL input signals and converts them into LVDS differential outputs. The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package, suitable for surface mount technology, and functions within an industrial temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Converts standard CMOS or TTL logic levels into low-voltage differential signals compliant with LVDS standards.
• Features a tri-state output capability controlled by enable inputs to minimize power consumption during idle states.
• Designed for high-speed point-to-point interfaces requiring low skew and minimal signal distortion.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication links between digital components.
• Data acquisition systems requiring reliable noise-immune transmission.
• Industrial control interfaces replacing higher power pseudo-ECL drivers.

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number includes the /NOPB suffix to ensure compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free manufacturing specifications. Confirm the TMTCX suffix corresponds to the specific TSSOP-16 tape and reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics against current design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing CMOS or TTL sources with LVDS receivers in environments requiring moderate speed up to 400 Mb/s. Ensure the system power supply remains stable between 3 V and 3.6 V to maintain signal integrity. Consider the thermal dissipation limits of the TSSOP-16 package if multiple units operate simultaneously at maximum data rates within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS90LV031A series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It serves as a transmitter counterpart to the DS90LV032A receiver. The family is engineered to provide a low-power alternative to traditional ECL-based drivers while maintaining compatibility with existing LVDS infrastructure standards.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90LV031AWGMLS is a ceramic SOIC-16 variant offering extended military-grade temperature operation from -55 °C to 125 °C. Verify package footprint differences and environmental ratings before substituting commercial grade parts with industrial or military variants.
