DS91C180TMAX/NOPB

Overview

The DS91C180TMAX/NOPB is a high-speed LVDS serializer designed for parallel-to-serial data conversion. It accepts up to eight-bit parallel data and converts it into a differential serial stream using Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) technology. The device operates with a single 3.3V power supply and supports data rates up to 400 Mbps per channel. It features integrated clock recovery capabilities and includes an enable pin for power management. The component is housed in a compact TSSOP package, suitable for space-constrained applications requiring reliable high-speed data transmission over twisted pair cables.

Feature Summary

• Converts parallel digital data into high-speed differential serial signals
• Operates on a single 3.3V power supply for simplified system design
• Supports data transfer rates up to 400 Mbps per channel
• Includes integrated clock recovery for signal integrity

Applications

• Video display interfaces
• Industrial control systems
• Medical imaging equipment
• Test and measurement instruments

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix against manufacturer documentation to ensure compatibility with specific voltage and temperature requirements. Confirm package type and lead finish specifications before procurement. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated by the NOPB suffix. Ensure ordering quantities match distributor availability and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when parallel-to-serial conversion is required for LVDS communication links. Consider the maximum data rate and operating voltage range relative to system constraints. Evaluate the package size against available PCB real estate. Verify that the receiver counterpart supports the same signaling standard and data rates for proper link establishment.

Part Context

This serializer belongs to Texas Instruments' family of LVDS interface components. It complements deserializer counterparts like the DS90C183 series to form complete point-to-point or star-topology links. These devices are commonly used in systems requiring long-distance, low-noise data transmission between logic circuits and displays or sensors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other LVDS serializers from the same family, such as the DS91C180QMX/NOPB for automotive grade variants. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully. Alternative manufacturers may offer compatible parts, but verify timing parameters and voltage levels.
