SN65EPT23DGKR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SN65EPT23DGKR is a dual differential translator manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed to interface LVPECL or LVDS signals with LVTTL or LVCMOS logic levels. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and supports data rates up to 600 Mb/s. The device features two drivers and two receivers, providing 24 mA output current for LVTTL loads. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates differential LVPECL or LVDS inputs to single-ended LVTTL or LVCMOS outputs
• Maintains input bias at Vcc/2 when inputs are left open
• Provides high-drive 24 mA LVTTL outputs

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interfacing LVDS/LVPECL sources with LVTTL/LVCMOS destinations
• Clock distribution systems requiring level translation
• Low-power digital communication interfaces

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DGKR' corresponds to the 8-TSSOP package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply requirement aligns with your system design. Ensure compatibility with the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range for your intended environment.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing low-voltage differential signaling standards with standard TTL or CMOS logic families. It is suitable for applications requiring minimal power consumption and compact surface-mount integration. Consider the 24 mA drive capability if driving multiple loads or longer traces on the LVTTL side.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the SN65EPT series of low-power translators. It serves as a bridge between high-speed differential interfaces and standard logic families, facilitating signal integrity in mixed-voltage systems. The DGKR variant specifically denotes the TSSOP-8 package option.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family, such as the SN65EPT23D or SN65EPT23DR, noting differences in package type (SOIC vs. TSSOP) and tape/reel specifications.
