Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and environmental rating for the intended deployment.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring four buffered LVDS outputs from a single source. It is suitable for applications needing signal regeneration over PCB traces or backplanes. Consider the 400 Mbps speed limit and 3.3 V nominal supply voltage during circuit planning.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This device belongs to the SN65LVDS10x series, which includes variants like the SN65LVDS105 that handle TTL-to-LVDS translation. While the SN65LVDS104 focuses purely on LVDS-to-LVDS repeating, the family shares similar electrical characteristics and mechanical footprints, facilitating modular design approaches.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The STMicroelectronics STLVDS104 serves as a documented functional equivalent within the same category. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications against the original datasheet before implementing any substitute in existing designs.
