DS91M125TMAX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS91M125TMAX 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 generates four differential 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 one LVDS signal into four synchronized M-LVDS signals for distribution
• Provides high-speed data transmission capability at 250 Mb/s
• Operates reliably across the full industrial temperature range

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Clock distribution networks requiring fan-out
• High-speed serial link termination and re-driving
• Data acquisition systems needing signal isolation

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'TMAX' indicates the specific tape-and-reel packaging variant distinct from the tube-packaged 'TMA'. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this model when a single LVDS source must drive multiple M-LVDS loads. Ensure the design requires the specific 8.5 ns propagation delay and 250 Mb/s speed rating provided by this repeater architecture.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the DS91M125 series of LVDS interface ICs. It serves as a specialized repeater within Texas Instruments' portfolio, designed specifically for expanding signal paths in high-speed digital environments where signal integrity is critical.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The DS91M124TMA/NOPB is a documented alternative within the same family, offering similar 1:4 functionality but with different input voltage specifications and slightly lower propagation delay.
