SN65LVDM179DR

The SN65LVDM179DR is a high-speed differential line transceiver from Texas Instruments, utilizing Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) to achieve signaling rates up to 100 Mbps.

This transceiver features a full-duplex design with one transmitter and one receiver. It operates from a single 3.3V supply and supports LVDM, LVDS, and LVTTL input and output signals. Key electrical characteristics include a typical driver propagation delay of 1.7 ns and a receiver propagation delay of 3.7 ns. Power dissipation is approximately 50 mW for the driver and 60 mW for the receiver at 200 MHz.

The device is designed for robust performance, with bus-terminal ESD protection exceeding 12 kV. It offers typical output voltages of 340 mV with a 50-ohm load and requires only a 50 mV input voltage difference for a valid output. The LVTTL input levels are 5V tolerant, and the driver enters a high-impedance state when disabled or with VCC below 1.5V. The receiver includes an open-circuit failsafe.

Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Surface Mount) package with dimensions of 4.9 mm x 6 mm, the SN65LVDM179DR is suitable for applications requiring high-speed data transmission in a compact form factor. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
