SN65LVDM179D

The SN65LVDM179D from Texas Instruments is a high-speed differential line transceiver designed for applications requiring robust data communication. It employs Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) to achieve typical full-duplex signaling rates of 100 Mbps. This device features one driver and one receiver, supporting LVDM and LVDS protocols.

Key electrical characteristics include a wide operating voltage range of 3V to 3.6V. The driver offers a typical propagation delay of 1.7 ns, while the receiver has a typical delay of 3.7 ns. Power dissipation is also optimized, with the driver consuming approximately 50 mW and the receiver 60 mW at 200 MHz. The transceiver boasts high noise immunity with a bus-terminal ESD rating exceeding 12 kV and LVTTL input levels that are 5-V tolerant.

Designed for surface mount applications, the SN65LVDM179D comes in an 8-pin SOIC package with specific dimensions for the 0.154" width variant. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The device also includes an open-circuit failsafe for the receiver and a high-impedance state for the driver when disabled or under specific voltage conditions.
