DS91C176TMA/NOPB

Overview

The DS91C176TMA/NOPB is a single-channel M-LVDS transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed data transmission. It integrates one driver and one receiver within an 8-pin SOIC package. The device supports data rates up to 200 Mb/s with a propagation delay of 7.5 ns. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3 V to 3.6 V, typically at 3.3 V, drawing a working current of 29.5 mA. The component functions reliably across an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Input types include LVCMOS, LVTTL, and M-LVDS, while outputs provide LVTTL and M-LVDS signals.

Feature Summary

• Supports half-duplex communication via a single differential channel
• Accepts multiple input logic standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL
• Provides compliant M-LVDS output signaling for noise immunity

Applications

• High-speed serial data link interfaces
• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew
• Point-to-point interconnects in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TMA' against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the 'NOPB' designation aligns with current RoHS compliance requirements for the target assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate electrical characteristics against the production batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential channel is required for point-to-point connections. It is suitable for systems needing conversion between parallel logic levels and serial M-LVDS signals. Consider the 8-pin SOIC footprint for board space constraints. Verify that the 200 Mb/s speed meets the system bandwidth requirements without necessitating higher-performance alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS91C176 series of M-LVDS transceivers. It serves as a bridge between parallel digital logic and serial differential transmission lines. The device complements other components in the DS91 family, such as repeaters and multi-channel drivers, to form complete interface solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The DS91C176TMAX/NOPB is a verified equivalent variant within the same series. Both parts share identical electrical specifications and functionality. The primary distinction lies in the packaging format; verify if the reel or tube configuration matches the manufacturing line requirements.
