DS91C176TMAX/NOPB

Overview

The DS91C176TMAX/NOPB 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, with a typical operating voltage of 3.3 V and a maximum power dissipation of 833 mW. The device supports data rates up to 200 Mb/s and features a propagation delay of 7.5 ns. Input types include LVCMOS, LVTTL, and M-LVDS, while outputs provide LVTTL and M-LVDS signals. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Supports multiple input logic standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and M-LVDS for flexible system integration.
• Provides dual output options delivering both LVTTL and M-LVDS signals from a single channel.
• Operates at data rates up to 200 Mb/s with low propagation delay for efficient signal timing.

Applications

• ATCA compliant M-LVDS clock distribution systems
• High-speed serial data link interfaces requiring M-LVDS compliance
• Industrial control systems needing robust differential signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MAX' indicates the tape and reel packaging variant when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the component matches the exact part number DS91C176TMAX/NOPB to guarantee correct package type and electrical specifications for the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel transceiver is required to bridge between standard logic levels and M-LVDS networks. The availability of both LVTTL and M-LVDS outputs allows for versatile interfacing without additional buffering. Consider the 8-pin SOIC package constraints and thermal dissipation limits of 833 mW during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS91C176 series of M-LVDS transceivers. It serves as a key interface solution for converting between common digital logic levels and low-voltage differential signaling standards. The component is distinct from repeaters like the DS91M125 or paired drivers like the DS91C180 due to its single-channel transceiver architecture.

Replacement Considerations

The DS91D176TMA/NOPB is a related single-channel M-LVDS transceiver in the same family. Verify pinout compatibility and specific input/output voltage thresholds before substitution, as differences may exist between the C and D series variants regarding input sensitivity and packaging.
