PI90LV179W

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The PI90LV179W is a single LVDS transceiver in an 8-pin SOIC package. It operates on a single 3.3V supply and supports signaling rates exceeding 660 Mbps. The driver provides a typical differential swing of ±350mV into a 100-ohm load with a propagation delay of 1.5ns. The receiver accepts a minimum differential swing of ±50mV, tolerates up to 2.0V ground potential difference, and has a typical propagation delay of 3.3ns. Input thresholds are compatible with Low Voltage TTL (LVTTL) at 5V tolerance, while outputs provide standard CMOS levels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Compliant with IEEE 1596.3 SCI and ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standards
• Driver section features independent power-down control via the DEN pin
• Receiver includes open, short, and terminated fail-safe circuitry
• Bus-terminal ESD protection exceeds 12kV

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Point-to-point and multidrop baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media
• Intra-system connections via printed circuit board traces or cables
• Hubs and routers for data communications
• PBXs, switches, repeaters, and base stations for telecommunications

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and environmental compliance status. The 'W' suffix indicates an 8-pin SOIC package. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your manufacturing process. Ensure the datasheet version matches the production batch specifications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single high-speed differential channel is required within a compact surface-mount footprint. It is suitable for systems needing LVTTL input compatibility and CMOS output levels. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C aligns with the system environment. Consider the 100-ohm load requirement for proper signal integrity design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to a family of 3.3V LVDS line drivers and receivers manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It shares functional similarities with the PI90LV180, PI90LV050, and PI90LV051, which offer varying numbers of channels and pin configurations. The PI90LV179 specifically integrates one driver and one receiver pair.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the same datasheet family such as the PI90LV180, PI90LV050, and PI90LV051, provided the pinout and channel count meet the design requirements.
