DS91C176TMA

Overview

The DS91C176TMA is a single-channel M-LVDS transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed data transmission. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and supports data rates up to 200 Mb/s. The device integrates one driver and one receiver in an 8-pin SOIC package. It accepts LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs and provides M-LVDS outputs. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, with a typical propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a power dissipation of 833 mW.

Feature Summary

• Supports half-duplex communication with integrated driver and receiver channels
• Compatible with standard logic families including LVCMOS and LVTTL input signals
• Provides compliant M-LVDS differential output signaling for noise immunity

Applications

• High-speed serial data links requiring low jitter performance
• Industrial control systems operating in electrically noisy environments
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging format and compliance status. Ensure the part number matches the required operational temperature range and voltage specifications for the target application environment before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single channel of M-LVDS conversion is required between digital logic levels and differential lines. Consider the 8-pin SOIC footprint constraints and the 200 Mb/s maximum data rate capability relative to system bandwidth requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS91C176 series of M-LVDS transceivers. It serves as a bridge between parallel digital buses and serial differential transmission lines, facilitating long-distance signal integrity in complex electronic architectures.

Replacement Considerations

The DS91C176TMAX/NOPB is a verified alternative variant within the same family, offering identical electrical characteristics but potentially differing in reel packaging configuration.
