SN65MLVD080DGG

The SN65MLVD080DGG is an 8-channel half-duplex M-LVDS transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is designed for multipoint data and clock transmission via backplanes and cables, offering a high-speed, low-power alternative to traditional standards like TIA/EIA-485 for short-reach applications.

Key electrical specifications include a signaling rate of up to 250 Mbps and a clock frequency up to 125 MHz. It supports both LVTTL and M-LVDS input and output signals. The transceiver operates over a wide common-mode voltage range of -1 V to 3.4 V, allowing for data transfer with up to 2 V of ground noise. It features independent enables for each driver and bus pins that go to a high impedance state when the driver is disabled or VCC is below 1.5 V.

Packaged in a 64-pin TSSOP, the SN65MLVD080DGG is suitable for surface mount applications. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C. The device meets or exceeds the M-LVDS standard TIA/EIA-899 and offers controlled driver output voltage transition times for improved signal quality. ESD protection exceeds 8 kV.

Applications for this transceiver include cellular base stations, central-office switches, and network switches and routers, where reliable parallel multipoint data transmission is required.
