SN65MLVD204BD

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN65MLVD204BD is a Multipoint-LVDS transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, integrating one driver and one receiver in an 8-pin SOIC package. It supports data rates up to 65 Mbps with a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V. The device features IEC ESD protection rated at ±15 kV (air gap) and ±8 kV (contact), ensuring robust signal integrity in noisy environments. Operating temperatures span from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial applications requiring reliable half-duplex communication over twisted-pair cables.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'B' suffix indicates the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) compared to standard variants. Confirm the 'D' package code corresponds to the SOIC-8 footprint. Ensure the specific orderable part number matches the required tape-and-reel or tube quantity as specified in the official TI ordering information sheet.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing multipoint LVDS networks requiring integrated ESD protection. Compare against SN65MLVD204B if only single-ended ESD protection is needed. Verify that the 65 Mbps speed meets system requirements. Check compatibility with existing termination resistors and cable impedance specifications for optimal signal performance.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65MLVD204B series of Multipoint-LVDS transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the SN65MLVD206B but differs in pinout and configuration. The series is designed for high-noise environments where standard LVDS may lack sufficient robustness without external protection components.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN65MLVD204BDR is a reel-compatible variant of the same core device. SN65MLVD206B offers similar functionality but with different pin assignments. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution.
