DS91M124TMAX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS91M124TMAX is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It functions as a 1:4 M-LVDS repeater with LVCMOS input, designed for high-speed data transmission applications. The device supports a maximum data rate of 250 Mb/s and operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V, typically utilizing a 3.3 V power source. It features four drivers and one receiver, packaged in a 16-pin SOIC format suitable for surface mount technology. The component operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, with a typical propagation delay of 6.5 ns and a power dissipation rating of 2.21 W.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs into four differential M-LVDS outputs for signal distribution
• Provides signal regeneration and buffering capabilities to maintain integrity over long traces
• Operates with standard 3.3 V power supplies while maintaining low electromagnetic interference characteristics

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• High-speed digital video signal distribution systems
• Industrial control networks requiring robust differential signaling
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TMAX' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SOIC-16 package. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status using the manufacturer's current environmental reports before finalizing procurement orders.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended logic input must drive multiple M-LVDS loads simultaneously. Compare against the DS91M125 if the input source is already differential LVDS rather than single-ended. Consider the DS91M047 if bidirectional transceiver functionality is required instead of unidirectional repeating.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the DS91M12x series of M-LVDS repeaters from Texas Instruments. It complements other interface solutions like the DS91M125, which accepts LVDS inputs, and the DS91M047 quad transceiver. The series addresses the need for fan-out and signal conditioning in high-speed serial communication architectures.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The DS91M125TMAX serves as a functional alternative if the input signal is LVDS rather than LVCMOS. For bidirectional applications, the DS91M047TMAX may be considered. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substituting.
