SN65LVDS100DR

Overview

The SN65LVDS100DR is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) repeater and translator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates one driver and one receiver within an SOIC-8 surface-mount package. The device supports data rates up to 2 Gb/s with a propagation delay of 0.8 ns. It accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL input signals and converts them to LVDS outputs. Operating on a single 3 V to 3.6 V supply, it draws 30 mA of current. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed signal transmission at data rates up to 2 Gb/s
• Provides compatibility for multiple input standards including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL
• Converts various input formats into standard LVDS output signals
• Includes electrostatic discharge protection mechanisms

Applications

• High-speed serial communication links requiring signal regeneration
• System-level interconnects between components operating at different voltage levels
• Data acquisition systems utilizing LVDS interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DR against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the SOIC-8 package and tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure that the procurement specifications align with the required 3.6 V maximum supply voltage and the -40°C to +85°C operational temperature range defined in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires translating CML, LVDS, or LVPECL inputs to LVDS outputs at speeds up to 2 Gb/s. The SN65LVDS100DR is suitable for applications needing a single-channel repeater in a compact SOIC-8 footprint. Verify that the system power supply remains within the 3 V to 3.6 V range to ensure proper operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS100 series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It serves as a bridge between different signaling standards, allowing integration of legacy or specialized drivers with standard LVDS receivers. The device complements other Texas Instruments interface solutions by providing flexible signal conversion capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

The SN65CML100DGK offers similar translation functionality but operates at 1.5 Gb/s and provides CML outputs instead of LVDS. Designers must evaluate the specific output requirement and speed constraints before substituting.
