SN65LVDT101DGK

Overview

The SN65LVDT101DGK is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) translator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates one driver and one receiver within an eight-pin VSSOP package. The device supports data rates up to 2 Gb/s with a typical propagation delay of 0.9 ns. It accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL input signals and converts them to LVPECL outputs. Operating from a single 3.3 V supply, it draws 90 mA of current. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Translates between multiple differential signaling standards including CML, LVDS, and LVPECL inputs to LVPECL outputs
• Provides high-speed signal transmission capabilities suitable for demanding digital interfaces
• Offers compact surface-mount packaging for efficient board space utilization

Applications

• High-speed serial communication links requiring voltage level translation
• Data acquisition systems interfacing different logic families
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing mixed-signal interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DGK corresponds to the VSSOP-8 tube packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 90 mA operating current draw and thermal requirements for the selected enclosure type.

Selection Notes

Select this component when translating between CML, LVDS, or LVPECL sources and LVPECL destinations at speeds up to 2 Gb/s. Consider the 90 mA power consumption and VSSOP-8 footprint constraints during schematic capture. Validate that the target system operates within the 3 V to 3.6 V supply voltage window and the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65LVDS101 series of LVDS interface integrated circuits. It serves as a repeater or translator designed to bridge various low-voltage differential signaling protocols. The series focuses on providing ECL-like speed performance while maintaining lower power consumption compared to traditional emitter-coupled logic solutions.

Replacement Considerations

SN65LVDS101DGKR: Same functional specifications but supplied in tape-and-reel packaging instead of tubes.
