Texas Instruments SN65LVDM179 Full-Duplex LVDM Transceiver SN65LVDM179DGKR

The SN65LVDM179DGKR is a full-duplex low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transceiver designed for high-speed data transmission. It operates from a single 3.3-V supply and supports typical signaling rates of up to 100 Mbps. The device features low output voltages of approximately 340 mV across a 50-ohm load and can detect input voltage differences as low as 50 mV. With a propagation delay of 1.7 ns for the driver and 3.7 ns for the receiver, the SN65LVDM179 is suitable for applications requiring fast data transfer. It includes built-in ESD protection exceeding 12 kV at the bus terminal and is characterized for operation in a temperature range of -40¬8C to 85¬8C. The device is packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP format, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. Engineers considering this transceiver should note its compatibility with point-to-point half-duplex data transmission over controlled impedance media, making it a viable option for various communication applications.
