SN65LVDS100DGKRG4

Overview

The SN65LVDS100DGKRG4 is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) translator and repeater manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features one driver and one receiver, supporting data transmission rates up to 2000 Mbps. The device accepts LVDS inputs and produces LVDS outputs, functioning as a signal buffer or level shifter within digital systems. It operates on a single power supply ranging from 3 V to 3.6 V, with a typical operating voltage of 3.3 V. The component is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP surface-mount package, measuring 3 mm in length and 1.75 mm in height. It supports an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and includes electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

Feature Summary

• Provides LVDS-to-LVDS translation and signal buffering capabilities for high-speed digital interfaces.
• Supports data rates up to 2000 Mbps with low propagation delay characteristics.
• Integrates ESD protection to enhance signal integrity and component reliability.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication links requiring signal regeneration.
• Point-to-point interconnects in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
• System-level clock distribution networks utilizing LVDS standards.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RG4' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and tape-and-reel configuration required for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when LVDS-to-LVDS translation is required rather than simple buffering. Confirm that the system power supply remains within the 3 V to 3.6 V operational window. Verify that the target application does not require CML or LVPECL input/output compatibility, which necessitates alternative models such as the SN65LVDS101 series.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SN65LVDS100 family of LVDS translators. It shares functional similarities with the SN65LVDT100 but differs in packaging and specific electrical characteristics. The DGKRG4 designation indicates a VSSOP-8 package supplied in a tape-and-reel format, distinguishing it from tube-packaged variants like the SN65LVDS100DGK.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Alternative selection requires consulting the manufacturer's current product selection guide for compatible LVDS translators with matching pinouts and electrical specifications.
