SN65LVDS100DRG4

Overview

The SN65LVDS100DRG4 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 Gbps with a propagation delay of 0.8 ns. It accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL input signals and converts them to LVDS outputs. Operating from a single 3 V to 3.6 V supply, it draws 30 mA of quiescent current. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed signal transmission at rates up to 2 Gbps
• Provides compatibility between CML, LVDS, and LVPECL input standards
• Converts input signals to standard LVDS output format
• Operates on a single 3.3 V power supply

Applications

• High-speed serial communication links
• Signal translation between different logic families
• Data bus extension in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate all electrical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between CML, LVDS, or LVPECL sources and LVDS destinations. The 2 Gbps rate suits high-bandwidth applications requiring low skew. Verify that the system power supply remains within the 3 V to 3.6 V range. Confirm that the SOIC-8 footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS100 series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It serves as a bridge for signal integrity in high-speed digital designs. The DRG4 designation indicates a tape-and-reel packaging option with green molding compound and lead-free pins, distinguishing it from tube-packaged variants.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family. Verify that substitute parts maintain the 2 Gbps speed and input voltage compatibility. Ensure any replacement offers equivalent propagation delay and power consumption characteristics.
