DS91C176TMAX

Overview

The DS91C176TMAX 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 range of 3 V to 3.6 V, typically at 3.3 V, drawing 29.5 mA during operation. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Input types include LVCMOS, LVTTL, and M-LVDS, while outputs provide LVTTL and M-LVDS signals.

Feature Summary

• Supports M-LVDS signaling standards for reliable differential communication
• Integrates single driver and receiver in compact surface-mount packaging
• Compatible with LVCMOS and LVTTL input logic levels

Applications

• High-speed serial data links requiring M-LVDS compliance
• Industrial control systems operating in extended temperature environments
• Clock distribution networks utilizing single-channel transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as TMAX or NOPB against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct package type and environmental compliance. Confirm RoHS status and specific tape-and-reel quantities if ordering in bulk. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate pinout and electrical characteristics before integration into design schematics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel M-LVDS interface is required with LVCMOS/LVTTL compatibility. Ensure the application demands data rates up to 200 Mb/s and operates within the specified 3 V to 3.6 V power range. Verify that the SOIC-8 package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the -40°C to +85°C temperature rating meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the DS91C176 series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It serves as a half-duplex transceiver solution for converting between single-ended logic inputs and differential M-LVDS outputs. The series is engineered for applications needing robust signal integrity over moderate distances in noisy environments.

Replacement Considerations

The DS91D176TMA/NOPB is a documented variant within the same family, offering similar functionality but potentially differing in packaging or specific electrical tolerances. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and parameter alignment before substitution.
