SN65LVDS104DG4

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The SN65LVDS104DG4 is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) clock fanout buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features one input and four outputs, designed to distribute clock signals with high integrity. The device supports data rates up to 400 MHz and operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V. It includes built-in ESD protection and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a surface-mount SOIC-16 package.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides 1:4 LVDS clock fanout buffering capability
• Supports maximum input frequency of 400 MHz
• Includes integrated electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Clock distribution in high-speed digital systems
• Fanout buffering for LVDS clock networks
• Data communication equipment requiring precise timing

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DG4' indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free status as per manufacturer specifications. Confirm that the SOIC-16 package variant matches the required PCB footprint and thermal management needs for the target application environment.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single LVDS source must drive four distinct LVDS loads with minimal skew. Ensure the system power supply remains stable between 3V and 3.6V. Consider the 4.2 ns maximum propagation delay for timing-critical designs requiring precise signal alignment across multiple branches.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS104 series, which specializes in LVDS clock distribution. It serves as a critical interface element in systems transitioning from single-ended clocks to differential signaling standards, ensuring signal integrity over longer traces in complex electronic assemblies.
