SN65CML100DGKR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SN65CML100DGKR is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It functions as a single-channel repeater and translator with one driver and one receiver. The device supports data rates up to 1.5 Gb/s. Input signal types include CML, LVDS, and LVPECL, while the output type is CML. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3 V to 3.6 V, typically at 3.3 V, with a maximum operating current of 12 mA. The component features a propagation delay of 0.8 ns and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Supports translation between multiple input standards including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL to CML output
• Provides high-speed signal buffering and re-driving capabilities for differential interfaces
• Operates with low power consumption suitable for portable and battery-powered applications

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed serial communication links requiring level translation
• Data acquisition systems utilizing LVDS or CML sensors
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DGKR' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging variant distinct from the tube-packaged 'DGK'. Confirm the revision level matches design requirements. Ensure the 1.5 Gb/s speed rating aligns with system timing constraints rather than assuming higher speeds available in other family members like the SN65LVDS100. Check RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when CML, LVDS, or LVPECL inputs must be converted to a CML output format. Choose this part over the SN65LVDS100 if the application requires a CML output stage rather than LVDS. Consider the VSSOP-8 package size for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify that the 1.5 Gb/s maximum data rate meets the system's bandwidth requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx5CML100 and SNx5LVDS100 families of LVDS interface ICs. These components are designed for high-speed data transmission where signal integrity is critical. The SN65CML100 series specifically focuses on translating various differential input standards into a standardized CML output, facilitating interoperability between different high-speed logic families in mixed-signal environments.
