SN65MLVD204D

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN65MLVD204D is a Multipoint-LVDS line driver and receiver compliant with the TIA/EIA-899 standard. It operates from a single 3.3-V supply (3 V to 3.6 V) and supports signaling rates up to 100 Mbps. The device features Type-2 receivers with an offset threshold for open-circuit detection. Driver propagation delay is typically 2.3 ns, while receiver delay is typically 5 ns. It operates within a common-mode voltage range of -1 V to 3.4 V and functions across temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Complies with the Multipoint-LVDS standard for half-duplex or multipoint baseband data transmission.
• Type-2 receivers include an offset threshold to detect open-circuit and idle-bus conditions.
• Driver output current increased to support doubly-terminated, 50-ohm load applications.
• Glitch-free driver operation during power-up and power-down sequences.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Multipoint data interchange on backplanes.
• Half-duplex baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media.
• Data transfer in harsh electrical environments requiring high noise immunity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required temperature range and logic family compatibility for your design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm parameter validity before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when multipoint topology and fault detection are required. The Type-2 receiver distinguishes it from Type-1 variants like the SN65MLVD200D by providing known output states during bus faults. Verify that the application requires the specific 100 Mbps signaling rate and 3.3-V supply constraints defined in the recommended operating conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the SN65MLVD20x series of low-voltage differential transceivers. It shares the same footprint and pinout as the SN65MLVD200D, SN65MLVD202D, and SN65MLVD205D, differing primarily in receiver threshold characteristics. The 'D' designation indicates an SOIC-8 package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN65MLVD200D: Identical package and driver, but uses Type-1 receivers without open-circuit detection thresholds.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

What is the primary difference between the SN65MLVD204D and SN65MLVD200D?

The SN65MLVD204D utilizes Type-2 receivers which include an offset threshold to detect open-circuit and idle-bus conditions, whereas the SN65MLVD200D uses Type-1 receivers with standard hysteresis.

Can the SN65MLVD204D drive multiple receivers on a bus?

Yes, the driver output current has been increased specifically to support doubly-terminated, 50-ohm load multipoint applications, allowing it to drive multiple nodes.

What is the common-mode input voltage range?

The device operates with a common-mode input voltage range of -1 V to 3.4 V, allowing data transfer even with up to 2 V of ground noise.
