SN65LVDS100DGKG4

Overview

The SN65LVDS100DGKG4 is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It converts LVPECL, CML, or LVDS inputs to LVDS outputs with a data rate of 2 Gbps. The device operates on a single 3.3 V supply and features an 8-pin VSSOP package. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 0.8 ns and a typical power consumption of 12 mA at 3.3 V. It supports input voltage swings from -100 mV to +100 mV and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports conversion between LVPECL, CML, and LVDS signal standards
• Provides high-speed data transmission up to 2 Gbps
• Operates with low power consumption on a single 3.3 V supply

Applications

• High-speed serial communication links
• Clock distribution networks
• Data acquisition systems requiring LVPECL or CML to LVDS translation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and lead times. Confirm package availability in VSSOP-8 format. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates directly from Texas Instruments documentation before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between LVPECL/CML sources and LVDS receivers. Ensure the system requires a 2 Gbps data rate capability. Verify that the 8-pin VSSOP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Confirm that the 3.3 V operating voltage aligns with the system power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS100 family of LVDS buffers. It serves as a bridge for signal level translation in high-speed digital interfaces. The DGK package variant indicates a small-outline very thin shrink package. It is designed for applications demanding low skew and precise timing characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Check for SN65LVDS100D or SN65LVDS100DGKR as potential pin-compatible alternatives. Verify if the base model without the G4 suffix meets environmental requirements. Ensure substitute parts support the same 2 Gbps speed and input/output standards.
