DS91M125TMAX/NOPB

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS91M125TMAX/NOPB is an LVDS interface integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, functioning as a 1:4 M-LVDS repeater. It accepts a single LVDS input and provides four M-LVDS outputs. The device supports data rates up to 250 Mb/s with a propagation delay of 8.5 ns. It operates on a 3.3 V supply voltage within a range of 3 V to 3.6 V, drawing 78 mA of operating current. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and is rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Converts a single LVDS signal into four matched M-LVDS outputs for fan-out applications
• Provides signal regeneration and buffering to maintain integrity over long traces
• Features low skew and precise timing characteristics suitable for high-speed digital interfaces

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Fan-out buffers for LVDS clock distribution networks
• Signal conditioning in high-speed serial data transmission systems
• Interface bridging between LVDS sources and M-LVDS loads in industrial equipment

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TMA' indicates tape and reel packaging distinct from tube variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications required for the design. Cross-reference with Texas Instruments datasheets to validate manufacturing origin and quality standards.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single LVDS source must drive multiple M-LVDS destinations without signal degradation. Compare against the DS91M124TMA/NOPB if LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs are required instead of LVDS. Consider power dissipation limits and thermal management requirements for the SOIC-16 package during operation at maximum data rates.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This device belongs to the DS91M125 series of LVDS interface components. It is functionally related to the DS91M124TMA/NOPB, which differs primarily in its input compatibility supporting LVCMOS and LVTTL signals alongside LVDS. Both share similar output configurations and performance metrics within the same product family.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The DS91M125TMA/NOPB serves as the tube-packaged equivalent to the TMAX variant. Verify that the alternative package type meets the assembly requirements of the target PCB layout.
