PTN3310DP,118

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The PTN3310DP,118 is a high-speed serial logic translator manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It operates on a single +3.3 V supply voltage and supports a maximum throughput data rate of 800 Mbps typical. The device provides LVDS to PECL translation with differential inputs and outputs. It is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package (SOT505-1) with a body width of 3 mm. Operating ambient temperature ranges from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Provides point-to-point translation between LVDS and PECL high-speed serial data lines
• Supports mixing optical transceiver ICs from various vendors without interface redesign
• Features compact 8-pin plastic thin shrink small outline package

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed networking applications such as ATM, SONET/SDH, switches, routers, and add-drop multiplexers
• Optical Transceiver Modules requiring interface logic translation
• Applications needing pin-for-pin replacement for existing LVDS or PECL interfaces

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DP corresponds to the TSSOP8 package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the component status remains active production, as datasheets may be superseded. Ensure compatibility with the required 3.3 V supply voltage and operating temperature range for your specific deployment environment before finalizing procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing optical transceivers requires converting between LVDS and PECL signaling standards. It serves as a direct pin-for-pin replacement solution, eliminating the need for complex circuit redesigns. Consider its 800 Mbps throughput capability and single-supply operation for high-speed serial data line applications.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the PTN3310/PTN3311 family of high-speed serial logic translators originally developed by Philips Semiconductors. The family includes the PTN3310 for LVDS-to-PECL conversion and the PTN3311 for PECL-to-LVDS conversion. Both variants share identical pin configurations and packaging options.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The PTN3310D is the SO8 package equivalent of the PTN3310DP. The PTN3311DP offers the reverse PECL-to-LVDS translation function within the same TSSOP8 footprint. Verify signal direction requirements when selecting substitutes.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

What is the difference between the PTN3310 and PTN3311?

The PTN3310 translates LVDS input signals to PECL output signals, whereas the PTN3311 translates PECL input signals to LVDS output signals.

Does the PTN3310DP support bidirectional translation?

No, the PTN3310DP is designed for unidirectional translation from LVDS inputs to PECL outputs only.
