DS92LV2421SQX/NOPB

Overview

The DS92LV2421SQX/NOPB is a serializer from the Texas Instruments DS92LV2421 series, designed for high-speed parallel-to-serial data conversion. It accepts 24 LVCMOS inputs and converts them into a single CML output stream with a maximum data rate of 2.1 Gb/s. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 3.6 V and supports an input clock frequency between 10 MHz and 75 MHz. It is housed in a 48-pin WQFN package suitable for surface-mount installation. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Converts 24-bit parallel LVCMOS data streams into a single serial CML output channel
• Supports Channel-Link II interface technology for reliable high-speed transmission
• Operates with flexible power supply requirements ranging from 1.7 V to 3.6 V

Applications

• High-resolution video signal transmission in display systems
• Industrial machine vision camera interfaces
• Medical imaging equipment data links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SQX' indicates the reel packaging format when sourcing components. Confirm that the NOPB designation ensures compliance with RoHS standards and absence of lead-based materials. Check manufacturer documentation for moisture sensitivity level classifications to ensure proper handling during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24-channel serialization solution is required for LVCMOS sources. Ensure the receiving deserializer supports the specific CML output characteristics and Channel-Link II protocol. Verify that the system power budget accommodates the 1.7 V to 3.6 V operating range and that thermal management suits the WQFN-48 package constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS92LV2421 family of serializers, which are engineered for robust parallel-to-serial conversion. The family includes variants with different pin counts and packaging options, such as the SQE variant. These devices are integral to extending parallel bus distances in high-bandwidth applications requiring low jitter performance.

Replacement Considerations

The DS92LV2421SQ/NOPB serves as a direct parameter-equivalent alternative, differing primarily in standard tape-and-reel packaging rather than functional specifications.
