SN65LVDS315RGER

Overview

The SN65LVDS315RGER is a CMOS-to-SubLVDS serializer manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed parallel-to-serial data conversion. It accepts eight CMOS inputs and converts them into a single SubLVDS output stream at a maximum data rate of 201 Mb/s. The device operates on a supply voltage ranging from 1.8 V to 3.3 V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Housed in a 24-pin VQFN package with a 4x4 mm footprint, it is optimized for camera interface applications requiring compact form factors and low power consumption.

Feature Summary

• Converts eight-bit parallel CMOS data streams into a single serial SubLVDS output channel
• Supports high-speed data transmission up to 201 Mb/s for video and image sensor interfaces
• Operates within a wide supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.3 V for flexible system integration

Applications

• Camera parallel serial converters for digital imaging systems
• High-speed data acquisition modules requiring CMOS to differential signaling
• Embedded vision systems utilizing LVDS-compatible displays or processors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RGER to confirm the VQFN-24 package type and reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and reflow soldering profile. Confirm that the 1.8 V to 3.3 V operating voltage aligns with the system power rails. Check moisture sensitivity level requirements for storage and handling procedures before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-channel parallel input needs to be serialized into a single LVDS link. It is suitable for designs requiring a small surface-mount footprint compared to larger QFP packages. Consider the 201 Mb/s speed limit against the required pixel clock frequency. Verify that the downstream receiver supports the specific SubLVDS output voltage levels defined in the datasheet.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS315 family of serializers. It serves as a bridge between parallel CMOS sensors and serial LVDS receivers. The RGER suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant intended for automated surface-mount assembly processes in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Replacement Considerations

The SN65LVDS315RGET is a pin-compatible alternative offering the same electrical specifications but in cut-tape packaging. Both parts share identical functional characteristics and can be substituted directly if packaging availability differs.
