SN65LVDS17DRFT

Overview

The SN65LVDS17DRFT is a Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It functions as an oscillator gain stage and buffer, containing one driver and one receiver. The device supports data rates up to 4 Gb/s with differential input and LVDS output types. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 2.375 V to 3.6 V, typically at 3.3 V, consuming 48 mA of operating current. The component features a propagation delay of 340 ps and dissipates 132 mW of power. It is housed in an 8-pin WSON package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides oscillator gain stage functionality for signal buffering
• Supports high-speed differential signaling up to 4 Gb/s
• Includes internal fault protection mechanisms

Applications

• Oscillator gain stages in high-speed digital systems
• Signal buffering for LVDS transmission lines
• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DRFT against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the WSON-8 package and tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required thermal performance and pinout specifications for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm compliance with current RoHS standards and material declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring an LVDS buffer with oscillator gain capabilities. The 4 Gb/s data rate capability makes it suitable for high-bandwidth applications. Verify that the system power supply falls within the 2.375 V to 3.6 V range. Consider the WSON-8 package size constraints and the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range during the initial schematic capture and layout phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS17 series of LVDS interface devices. It is distinct from transceiver models like the SN65LVDS179, which combine drivers and receivers for bidirectional communication. The SN65LVDS17 is specifically designed for unidirectional buffering and gain staging, often used to drive loads or compensate for signal loss in high-speed interconnects.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts within the SN65LVDS17 family, such as the SN65LVDS17D or SN65LVDS17DGGR, provided they match the WSON-8 package and electrical characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and functional equivalence before replacement.
