SN65LVDS104PW

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The SN65LVDS104PW is a Texas Instruments LVDS interface integrated circuit functioning as a 4-port LVDS and 4-port TTL-to-LVDS repeater. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and supports data rates up to 400 Mbps. The device features one differential line receiver and four differential line drivers, with an LVTTL input connected to the LVDS outputs. It is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary
